The mean one is about a Philadelphia industrialist who, on one ot his
frequent business trips to New York, made the acquaintance ot a young
lady whose good looks were only surpassed by her am iability. Despite the
fact that he was married, the tycoon began to see a lot of the girl, and it
wasn't long before he had set her up in a Madison avenue apartment and
was forking over $300 a week to cover expenses.

12-year-old son in tr jm the barn
and said:

you deserve bein' on hand w ith the
other boys at that circus when it
gets here tom orrow.”
The Ledbetters were poor as
church mice, and Jackie hadn't
dared even let him self think his
pop would let him attend the c ir­
cus. Consequently, his round blue
eyes grew even rounder.
Old Silas grinned and swal­
lowed a lump in his throat. He
dug down into his pocket and
brought out a shiny, new sil­
ver half-dollar.
Jackie carefully placed the half-
dollar in a pocket of his tattered
overalls, pulled his straw hat well
over his ruddy face, puckered up
his lips and began to whistle. He
whistled all that afternoon and
was still whistling when he came
in from the lower lot for supper.
Once upstairs, Jackie carefully
took off his shirt and then felt in
the pocket of his overalls for the
half dollar. He'd better sleep with
it under his pillow, he reasoned,
like he’d read about folks doing.
It was rig h t then that Jackie’ s
heart sank, rig h t then that the
world turned black and there was
a horrible, te rrifying , empty feel­
ing in the p it ot his stomach. The
half dollar was gone!
Jackie wanted to cry, but he
was too much of a man for that.
He searched through the other
pocket very carefully, and then
looked in his shoes, and under the

it was gone, completely vanished.
And so Jackie, his heart ach­

time he kept telling himself he

stop crying before mom came
