Joe Lane, ex-pugilist, song plug-
ger, and hit of QRSA Radio Sta-
tion, and his wife, Katherine, have
one child, Little Pal, whom they
both adore. Joe, believing' Arthur
Phillips, manager of the station, to
he his best friend, accepts a big
contract from him, not knowing
that Phillips is in love with Kath-
erine. But Katherine, becoming
angry because of Joe's careless apd
irresponsible habits, quarrels with
him, and during the reconciliation
admits to Joe that Phillips wants

But iusi across the threshold she
stopped. A an in those forebodings !
“Ob. Jos, 1 have been worried.
Did anything happen?”
“Nothing serious. But that
party won’t bother you any more.
And after tonight I’m taking a
new job.” The sohg plugger’s
voice was confident and reassuring.
“Everything's gonna be just swell

for a minute to tell you how much

■Jod s volte bahte'ringiy. And then,
libs a whisperi "Are you listening,
Kitty, darling? Hdre It is: All
right, boys, let’s go. Make it hot!
Pass the mustard!"
The unseen orchestra pattered a
few bars softly, like thin fingers of
summer raiu at the window pane.
Then Joes voice...that voice with
th© crooning lilt that so many
thousands loved.
“Bye-Bye Baby, here comes your
train...
Kis« and cuddle me tight.. .Oh oh!
Say you love me and then...say
vi-u love me again...”
Little Pal beamed up at ills
mol her, liio violet eyes round and
bright, like the button-eyes lu a
teddy-bear’s head. ’ “There Is my
Daddy, Muvver!” lie announced
proudly.
Like the baby, Katherine leaned
toward the loud speaker as if to
j catch i glimpse of the singer in it.
All tilt troubles of the day seemed
so foolish, now Joe would always
be there when she called. He was
crazy nhout her, just as be was
singing : lie song to her And she
wouldn't worry any more.
I.tiiie Pal was clapping hts
hands. Dealing time to the lagged,

Katherine leaned over and gave
the child a hug “Daddy is a won-
derful m. n and we re lucky to have
such m Daddy, aren’t we.”
•\t:d as she spoke, she realized
that she .meant what she said with
all mu heart What would any-
thing be wit out Joe? Mis per-
somility colored everything uiound
him Arid if she did expect too
much of him. it was. perhaps, be-
cause she iov.ed him so much. It
was incredible that she should havo
returned. Had anything happened:? J thought mst this evening of sepa-
!■' d jot been hurt? Had lie fought
with Phillips? But, how flilly; she
reprimanded- herself shorply Noth
ing ’bad happened.’ It was probably
Joe, just, calling her to be certain
,she and Little Pal were listening in
before he began his hour on Hie"
air
And, to some extent, Katherine
was right. For Joe was'in a leie
phone booth at QllSA putting
through a call for Ids wife. His
mind seemed suddenly to have
cleared. He could think rationally,
now. A little while before, be
couldn't. Everything that had hap
pened was in rather n vague haze

and the nut,, had gone down. Then
there was nothing vary clear to
