Well how on earth, Harold Madrigali!f-the leader. Say, that auburn head at the piano looks very, very familiar. Sure enough, it's Frances Hansen! A big house flashed into view. Gn the lawn a little curlyfheaded boy was play' ing. His nurse is speaking to him. Come, Carl, like a good boy! Whwfwh- Tony expostulated, L'it's Reva Nipper! Why all the reporters in that crowd? They're crowded about somebody. Let's see, the screen says an aspiring novelist, gracious, it's Jean Hawley. The wide open spaces flashed into view. Look at that rider comingf' said Tony adrniringly. He sure knows how to ride. He fWhy--ferf--a-fhum, it's a she! and it's Maude Hawkins at that. Enough said! Look at that tiny shack out there all alone. Must be empty. No there's some smoke coming from that chimney. They look into the house. L'Look at the maps on the table, and pictures of bridge. There's a man. He's turning around now, Why it's Dan Christensen. An assembly of teachersffwanting their salary I suppose. My, my, the chair' man is Eleanora De Soto. Look who's coming to the front. Delvina Malatesta and Aileen IvIcClosky. We're in Honulula! at the office of the Daily Sun. Why the editor isgno yes it's Iola Andrews! Here comes a man into the office. Wants an ad put in the paper. Looking for an assistant engineer evidently. Why- -it's old Anthony Bakichf' The faithful machine shows a suite in the WaldorffAstoria. Why I know that-ahemf-gorgeously gowned woman. It's Evelyn Hinkley. Someone's coming in the door. Her secretary. Gracious it's Gertrude Thompson. Well-well. Well and who have we here in that silk hat? Oh it's Edward Guinasso and he's Foreign Minister to Italy, is he? Hm, they aspire all right! !'Look at all that snow. Why there's and airplane. Two of them, no, there's some more over there. Must be an exploring party. There's the head man. Great Heavens! It's Hugh Seaton. Dear, dear, murmured Tony. That fellow doesf-why he's-say! Well I'll be dinged, it's Manuel Roza! A botanist! How tenderly he touches those flowers! '!And that's all eh? said Tony. That's wonderful Bill. You'll certainly get a patent on it. And once again Tony fell to musing. But he soon woke. Say Bill, was that all there were?--students I mean, that graduated when we did? '!Yep, smiled Bill, that was all. That was quite a few I think. Isn't it funny how far each has gone?f-and there are no two careers alike! This is a small world after all when it comes to a machine like this, and Bill caressed it lovingly.
