his name it is a man named Rude in
Dallas.
Mr. I. Rude came to America to es-
cape the poverty and hunger of East-

needed them most and that this same
kindness sent him to Denver when
sti ieken with a serious malady. He
regained his health, went into busi-
ness in the Colorado metropolis and
prospered.

was a question In them, too.

Ted's? It sounded mightily like It
and come to think of It lie had
heard Ted wjiistle that tune while
he was shaving lust the other day.
Strange coincidence! With an ef-
fort he slowly turned his eyes to-
ward the platform. The turning
was painful, as If he dreaded lo see
what the platform held. Then he
saw his son on the platform, go-
ing through Insane antics, blowing
on one of those "red-hot" saxo
phones and even lending his voice to
the abandonment of the rhythm

Mr. Molnar stood erect and la a
stentorian voice boomed:
“You nre no Songer my son!
There Is nothing you can say,” and
with that he went out of the door
with a bitter determination never

“But. Mother, you understand—
