"Because of '"'no- business" Nick lets them go. However, they - meet the famous Jonsy, assistant © to theatrical producer Thornton Reed. She offers them a musical revue audition but the boys let the word get out and when they ar. rive at the theatre the place is a madhouse. Along with everyone else, they are thrown out. Tommy loses hope. "Then suddenly he has a great idea. Little Barbara Jo, a friend of Periny Morris, whom Tommy loves, is in despair. Bar. bara and all her pals have been promised a trip to the country by the .. Dornan ..Street .:Settlement house. But now there is no money in the treasury. Tommy gets things moving arranging a block party for the kids which will in turn finance a benefit show. Ac- tually, Tommy is doing this for his own act, so he can get a pub- licity break. . CHAPTER FOUR Over in the Dornan Street Set- tlement house, Barbara Jo told Penny her version of the meeting with Busch. "The child's eyes were shining as she said, ", , . ana all the time Mr. Busch kept sittin' there, smoking that smelly ole cigar, And just when 1 was sure he was going to say 'No,' Tommy got right on the desk and told him what wonderful kids we were and how if we didn't get sunshine and fresh air we'd all. wind up with. | pickets." "With what?" Penny asked. "Pickets." Penny got it and laughed. "Dar- ling, you mean rickets. "It was all the same to Barbara Jo. The results were what count- ed. "Well anyway he was won- derful and finally "Mr. Busch said he'd let him do it and Penny, all I could think of was Tommy be. ing like Abraham Lincoln freeing" the slaves." " < Penny smiled but as she thought of Tommy her. eyes were bright _ with hero worship too. "I'll have to tell him what you said. He'll like that." Barbara Jo modded violently. "F wish you would. Gee he's ex- ceptional, Too bad he's not better looking." Penny looked at her in aniaze- ment. "Why Barbara Jo he's fine looking. He's got character in his face. Why, he never stops to think of himself at all. But he'll be paid back." Dreamily, she be- gan to hum, "The Man 1 Love." Barbara Jo giggeld. "You know "Penny if it was anybody else but you I'd be jealous." Penny squeezed her chin, "If it were anybody else but him you could have him." : Rehearsals got under way the very next morning and Tommy went around feeling that he was living again. It was worth a mil- lion dollars getting those 'comedy skits going nice and smooth, build- ing up the technique of the kid orchestra, standing there, listening Penny tear up his heart with one of her love songs. And the kids were great. They all co-operated like a house afire, Ld . » [] The Block Party dale was close, when one day Mr. Stone sent for Tommy. Stone had re- ceived a letter from the Board of Trustees. It seemed that they were sending the Settlement twenty refugee youngsters from, the British War Relief to show them what a real American Fourth of July was like, He read aloud.

We can't have the Settlement kids in the audi- torium then," That'll be right in the middle of the performance." Stone was concerned but there was no help for it. The Block " Party would simply have to be postponed. . Tommy was in despair. "But we'll never be able .o get a per- mit again." All at once though, he jumped two feet in the air. Where was his noodle? Why this was perfect, Better than be- - fore. Sure they'd have the broad- cast , . . along with the Block Party, straight from the. side walks of New York. Stone" was delighted with the idea and Tommy rushed out to tell it to Ray and Hammy. The boys didn't catch on at first. "Don't you see?" Tommy said, " 'Bundles from Britain' will be a swell act for us to follow. And if theyre sensational, so much the better. - Look. . Think of it... 'The 'Three - Balls of Fire.' . .

"Yeah. I fever thought of the publicity angle." Tommy shook hands with him- self gleefully. "What a Cause. What a Showcase, And here we are trying to send-a bunch of little kids to the country. Why we don't even need that any more." efectos A voice cut in, It was Penny's. "Did--dd you say, 'We don't nced that any more?" ; "Huh? ...well...I1.,.." He tried to pull himself together. Gosh, why hadn't the boys stop- ped him in time. She was running down the corridor. "Hey Penny, wait." He tore after her into the office. , She was busy with the files. "Look Penny," he faltered, "if you'll only , ,." At that, she whipped around. "What's the matter? Run out of speeches?" Sincerely, he looked at her. "Penny, you're making me feel. awful." Her eyes were bright with un- shed tears. "Well, you shouldn't. You're "getting jeverything youn want. A Cause and a Showcase, And you wanted to get to Broad- way. Well, youre going to get there, Of course you may knock down and climb over a few people. but you'll get there. You're go- ing to 'be a big success. You ought to be very happy." She started, from the room. "Wait a minute," He walked over and took her arm and said quietly; "You say-that as if you hate me." f She refused to look at him, "Why, that's silly. I don't hate, you, I think you're wonderful, your 'ambition, your talent . , ." "Then what's the matter?' "Nothing." Her voice was tre- mulous, "I just don't think you're Abraham Lincoln any more that's all," The quarrel had a funny effect on Tommy. First, he was good and sore. Then, when he quieted down, he became obsessed with .one idea. He'd show Penny. He'd make her see that he was going to get those kids to the: country or die inthe attempt. - And if the Block Party and Benefit gave him a boost at the same time? Well, hat couldn't hurt anybody could it Fourth of July arrived, the , streets were roped off and Tom. my's 'show got under way, The crowds 'were. wild with excite: ment and the Refugee children did their broadcast. There was. other, Then the. "Three Balle of Fire," came on and when Tommy saw the news reporters with their cameras he knew that Lady Luck was here at last. He had written to Jonesy, ask. ing for her help in getting a thea- tre for the benefit and next morn- ing he was in her office, happy and exuberant. . She smiled at him, "Well Tom- my, going to send those news- paper pictures to your mother?" He nodded. "Yeah. -She'll think I'm running for President." Then he leaned over the desk. "Jonesy, all hokum aside, what did you think of the performance." She nodded, "I was really im- pressed." He rubbed his hands. liked it we're on our way." Now he dug into his pockets. "Look, We collected forty-two dollars and with your contribution it--comes to 'sixty-seven. - Now all we need is a theatre. Did you find out about the Old Duchess?" Her face clouded over. "Yes I -did and Mr. Reed still owns it. Lut- Pm afraid it won't be any good to you Tommy" "Why not?" deli "If you AP. «' She made a little gesture, "It "hasn't been occupied in years. _ There aren't-even any seats in it. It's really not much more than a warchouse." ' "But it's got a stage. We'll take it that way." Here you are Jonesy, sixty-seven smackeroos." "Oh no, Tommy." She scemed quite definite. "I'd have to ask Mr. Reed and I can't bother hin. now, he's having so much trouble." "The telehone rang, and she spoke into it worriedly . , something about the -Marelli act, which wasn't proving available, But Tommy was busy with-his own troubles. "Gee Jonesy, I don't see .why Mr. Reed would mind. We just want it for one night. We could fix it up." She rose and for the first time she seemed a bit irritated. "No Tommy. The Duchess is complet. ely out of the question. I'll have to ask you to leave now too, I'm busy, You'd just better forget the whole thing." Tommy stared at her but she was already on the telephone again, She had said, "Forget the whole thing." How could he? Forget all that sweating and rehearsing and planning for Broadway? "His feet were leaden as he went to the door, Jonesy had been his best friend and now even she wouldn't do anything. It looked as if his whole future were --just--going up in smoke. (Continued Next Week) A Wartime Prayer: "To Be Adequate" A New York Times Editorial On Prayer In Different Forms It would be surprising in- these | days laden with grief and dan- ger if men did not pray_more than ordinarily, In different times prayer takes different forms. If there is less of the formal saying of grace at meals, it does not mean "of necessity that there jy less giving of thanks, One pious man well remembered because when he prayed he sounded as though he were actually talking face to face with God once said: 'Prayer is an attitude, an atmos. phere, a state of mind and heart." "There are times," says Victor Hugo, "when the soul is on its knees whatever may be the atti- tude of the body." : We do not'know in how many homes today the family actually gets down on its knees to speak ~to God in daily worship. In ther days a 'chapter of the Bible wax usually read before prayer, in which the head of the house led. Sometimes everybody in the circle offered some petition. , ) & There are doubters who hold, to, their own misfortune, that prayer does not change anything; but any one who rises from a hearthstone communion of this kind knows that the participants are not quite the same afterward, A kind of peace has settled down' on the room for a moment. The setting for such circles is 'usually rural, partaking of the majesty of the unfettered outdoors; the spirit always is. Simplicity has, for- the time, replaced artificial ity. You will often find these family prayers out in the country, Student pastors, who have travel. ed out from the seminary to " practice-preach, are familiar with --and- awed by--them. To bow under such circumstances is to make real the most abstruse theo- logical studies and to refuel faith. » Ld * >What can man pray for taday? Both. warring sides will be pray. ing for victory. Of course, God - will not answer all prayers, That would be illogical, and God's logic is terrifying even-to-the righteous in the depth of its justice. But every man and woman and child in this testing time can make one prayer: He can pray to be ade. quate. To be equal to the ex. ~~ hausting demands upon-his- cours" age in the great 'encounters. To be adequate in his patience for the daily drain of small annoy- ances. To be equal to the emer- gencies facing mind and body. It will be recalled that Lincoln, on that rainy afternoon before he started from Springfield to Wash- ington, said to his neighbors: "Without the assistance of that Divine Being who attends me 1 cannot succeed; with that assis- tance I cannot fail." There is a moving simplicity in the words that followed: "Trusting in Him who can go with me and remain with you and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well." He then bade his neighbors farewell, . * LJ * Just before Gettysburg cvery- body seemed. panic-stricken., It was 'feared that' aonther Freder- icksburg or another Chancellors- ville could not be withstood. Lin- coln related - afterward that he went to his room, locked the door and got down on his knees, He told God that the cause was just. "I then and there made a solemn vow to Almighty God that, if He would stand behind 'our boys at Gettysburg, 1 would stand by Him.) ad B7 : So it was~ with all the great eme a To met with in the White House, "I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nobody else to go to, My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day." : We can. assume that there is some praying 'going on in Wash- ington today. = Some of those prayers are -unspoken.-- Some of them do not wait for the going- to-bed time for saying. They are ; said at desks, perhaps. But there is no reason to believe that God does not hear prayers said from behind desks. 4 Farouk's Loyalty Under Suspicion arias : .
