"Who's that man squeezing through the crowd to speak to Aunt Katharine?" asked Alice.
"That? Oh, that's one of the old boys."
"I can see that for myself."
"He's a Judge Donald of Wisconsin. He's pretty well on, but he's a Jim-dandy after-dinner speaker. Made a smooth speech at his class reunion."
"They still like to come to the race and things, don't they?"
"Oh, yes, and they're right into it all while they're here too."
Unhappily unconscious of the kindly feeling being extended to him from the bench in front, Judge Donald seated himself by Katharine, just as they drew slowly into the station.
"You haven't been on for some years, have you?" she asked him.
"No," he answered, "I've been busy."
"Oh, we know you've been busy," she interpolated, smiling.
