Head of the Family
A Short Story.
By NINA KAYE
Although not the oldest, Alex
Kramer, bachelor, regarded him-
self as the head of the family. The
Kramers, too, looked upon Uncle
Alex as the final arbiter and port
of first call in time of trouble or
need.
Seated at his mahogany desk in
the private office of the suite be-

to live on the funds his uncle was

Uncle Alex sure Milton was cut
out to be a lawyer?
Alex Kramer swung around in
his chair, called his stenographer
Miss Green, and dictated a letter
to Milton. When he had gone to
law school, he wrote, he hod work-

his uncle was eager to hear how
he was getting on. Signing, Alex
Kramer nodded that the letter was
finished. An empty request, he
knew. For Milton would not write
again, unless with a special re-
quest. Ile wouldn't have the face
to ask again for funds. After all
there was a limit.
The morning sun streamed into
the office, building a bridge from
sill to floor. Alex Kramer watched
the bright 'rays as he thought. Well
he knew that Milton was not fired
with-ambition, that he consented to
go to college and law school mere-
ly to dodge work as long as pos-
sible. But the fire of ambition
which had kindled years before in
Alex Kramer's flat grey eyes was
not dimmed. Already he visual-
ized the new name on the doorway
—Kramer and Kramer. Ah, that
Milton had been a different lad,
one to gratify his uncle's dream.
Or that there had been another son
in the second generation of Kra-
mere which abounded in nieces, the
trial of each of the three Mrs. Kra-
mers, Mrs. Philip Solomon (nee
Anna Kramer) and the responsi-
bility of Uncle Alex.
His dreams were interrupted by
the entrance of Miss Green. With
an apologetic grunt, Alex acknowl-
edged that it seas time to settle
down to work by drawing toward
him the neatly opened but unread
morning mail. Your brother is
here, Mb. Kramer."
Alex did not have to ask which
brother. He knew. "All right," he
said.
Harry Kramer stood in the door-
wiy. Grey, bowed with cares, he
seemed to be rumpling into his brie
gy trousers. Ile stood timidly
awaiting permission to enter. Alex
growled a greeting. It cut him
that his own brother, older than he,
should be so cowed, so humble.
Harry came quickly to the desk,
steadied a trembling hand on the
glass top. "I suppose you know I've
a note to pay today," he began
without preliminary.
"I don't keep a record of your
notes. My bookkeeper only takes
care of my business."
"Well, I've got to pay it. If you
didn't take away my Milton and
send him to college, I'd have some-
body home to help me. I wouldn't
have to come begging to you."
Alex looked up. In his older
brother's eyes he read defiance and
envy. Ile knew that Harry felt
Alex had usurped his place, the
position of head of the family. Yet
even while the feeling prevailed,
here he was, himself asking the
aid for which all the members came
to Alex.
"Just because you haven't got a
wife and family of your own, no-
body to look after but yourself,
you can afford to he independent,"
Harry declared. "Look at me. The
girls go to work, yes. But what

I take a store, just as soon as I
get a little established, there, next
to me opens a store just like mine,
with everything cheaper than I can

his brother's shoulder. "Because

graduates a lawyer? "
Harry went away with a check,
but the smoldering blaze of envy
was still in his eyes. And Alex
settled down to work. There was
an important brief for him to pre-
pare besides the mass of correspon-
dence which he had not yet tack-
led. Until noon he worked, unin-
terrupted except for business.
