LAH lus trations by lrwinMyers / MASTER MIND IN CHARGE. — Synopsis—Proud possessor of a printing press and equipment, the gift of Uncle Joseph to his nephew, Herbert lllingsworth Atwater, Jr. aged thirteen, the fortunate youth, with his chum, Henry Rooter, about the same age, begins the pub- lication of a full-fledged newspaper, the North End Dally Oriole. Her- bert's small cousin, Florence At- water, being barred from any kind of participation in the enterprise, on account of her intense and nat- ural feminine desire to “boss,” is frankly annoyed, and not at all backward in saying so. However, & poem she has written is accepted for insertion In the Oriole, on a strictly commercial basis-—cash in advance. The poem suffers some- what from the inexperience of the Youthful publishers in the “art preservative.” Her not altogether unreasonable demand for republi- cation of the masterpiece, with its beauty unmarred, is scorned, and the break between Miss Atwater and the publishers of the Oriole widens, The Sunday following, Florence's particular chum, Patty Fairchild, pays her a visit. They are joined, despite Florence's open- ly expressed disapproval, by Her- bert and Henry. Florence will not play. Patty and the visitors In- : dulge In a series of Innocent Sun- day games. Among them is one called “Truth,” the feature of which is a contract to write a ques- tion and answer, both to be kept a profound secret. The agreement Is duly carried out. Florence is told as a family secrét that her beauti- ful aunt, Julia Atwater, has appar- ently become engaged to a man named Crum, altogether unknown to the Atwaters. Florence finds the notes In the “Truth game m which both Herbert and Henry ad- mit that they have pretty eyes, and threatens to tell the much- feared Wallle Torbin of the ep!- sode. Florence becomes the mas- ter mind of the Oriole. PART |l—Continued. wer] Ghee “I don’t say we will say we won't,” Henry added. “That's the way I look at it. My father and mother are always talkin' to me: how I got to be polite and everything, and I guess maybe it's time I began to pay some ‘tention to what they say You don’t have your father and moth- er for always, you know, Herbert.” , Herbert's mood at once chimed with this unprecedented filial melancholy. “No, you don't, Henry. That's I often think about, myself. a feilow mother to advise him our and you ought to do a good deal what they say while they're still alive” “That's what I say,” Henry agreed gloomily ; and teration of his tone or of the dejected thoughtfulness of his attitude, he changed the subject in a way that painfully startled his companion. “Have you seen Wallie Torbin today, Herbert?” “What I” and I don’t day?” Herbert swallowed. “Why, Henry?" he asked. “Oh, nothin'” eyes upon his gloondly scuffing toe. “I just wondered, because I didn't happen to see him In school this after. noon when I happened to look In the door of the Elght-A when it was open. 1 didn’t want to know on account of anything particular. I just happened to say that because I didn’t have any- thing else to think about just then. so I Just happened to think about him, the way you do when you haven't got anything much on your mind, and might get to thinkin’ about you can't tell what. That's all the way it was: 1 just happened to kind of wonder if he was around anywhere, maybe.” Henry's tone was obviously, even elaborately, sincere; and Herbert was reassured. “Well, I didn’t see him” he responded. “Maybe he's sick.” “No, he Iisa't,” his friend sald. “Florence sald she saw him chasin’ his dog down the street about noon.” At this Herbert's uneasiness was uncomfortably renewed. “Florence did? Where'd you see Florence?” Mr. Rooter swallowed. “A little while ago,” he said, and again swal- lowed. “On the way home from school.” “Look~look here!” Herbert was flurried to the point of panic. “Henry «did Florence—did she go and tell you-—did she tell you--7* “1 didn’t hardly notice what she talkin’ about,” Henry sald, dog- “She didn't have anything to d ever care two cents about. up behind me and walked th me a ways, but 1 got too Mhings on my mind to hardly asl attention to anything about, She's a girl ut her the less people phat she says the Ty with me, Henry,” assured him earnestly. “1 any notice to what she way 1 figure It out about , everybody'd be a good oft if nobody ever paid the least notice to anything she says. I never even notice what she says, myself." “I don't either,” said Henry. *“All I think about is what my father and mother say, because I'm not goin’ to have their advice all the rest o' my life, after they're dead. If they want me to be polite, why, I'll do It and that's all there is about it." “It's the same way with me, Henry. If she comes flappin’ around here blattin' and blubbin' how she's goin’ to have somep'm to do with our news paper, why, the only reason I'd ever let her would be because my family say I ought to show more politeness to her than up to now. 1 do it In any other acount, Henry.” “Neither would I. That's just the same way I look at it. If I ever begin to treat her any better, she's got my father and mother to thank, not me. and let her in, if she comes around here like she's liable to." . “Well,” sald Herbert, “I'm willing. I don’t want to get In trouble with the family.” And they mounted their editorial, reportorial, ing rooms; and began to work the stalrs to and print. prehensive, then seem to reflect upon their fathers’ state of the times.

I expect to have a pretty good newspaper this week yes, sir, a pretty good newspaper and 1 guess you men got to jump around pretty brisk to do everything I think of, or else maybe I guess I'll have to turn you off and get some new ones that'll be more obedient. I don’t want to haf to do that, men” The blackmailed partners made no reply, on account of an Inability that was perfect for the moment. Florence made it clear to them that henceforth she was sole editor of the North End Dally Oriole. (She said she had decided not to change the name, after all.) She informed them that they were to be her printers, nothing more; she did not care to get all Inky and nasty, she sald, She would, however, do all the writing for her newspaper, and had with her a new poem. Also, she would furnish all the news and it would be printed Just as she wrote it, and printed nice. ly, too, or else—"look out!" Thus did this cool hand take pos session of an established industry, and in much the same fashion did she eon- tinue to manage it. There were un- suppressible protests; there was co- vert anguish; there was even a strike hut it was a short one. When the printers remained away from thelr late newspaper building, on Wednes- day afternoon, Florence had an inter. view with Herbert after dinner at his own door. He explained coldly that Henry and he had grown tired of the printing press and had decided to put in all their spare time building a the 4 ater in ‘Henry's “attic: “hut Florenes gave him to understand that the the ater could not be. Henry and Herbert had both stopped “speaking” to Patty Fair- child, for each believed her treach- erous to himself; but Florence now Informed Herbert that far from de- pending on mere hearsay, she had in her possession the confession of his knowledge that he had ocular beauty —the ruinous bit of writing in his own hand and signed with his complete name—that she had discovered the paper where Patty had lost it; and that it was now In a secure place, aud in an envelope upon the outside of which was already written, “Wallle Torbin, Kindness of Florence A.” Herbert collapsed, So did Henry Rooter, a little later that evening, af- ter a telephoned conversation with the slave-driver, The two miserable printers were back In their places the next after- noon, And on Saturday now In every jot and item the spired organ of feminism, made Its undeniably sensational appearance.
