WORM'’S HE Westches- ter highway was deserted. Wentworth Smithe, booklL eeper, re- moved the straw hat from his egg- shaped head, § placed it on the seat beside him. The morning breeze tousled his muddy-blond hair. He sighed con- tentedly—no one would notice this early morning in- discretion. If only @ man could al- ways give way to his emotions like this! Why should one always obey the dictates of smug society? If a petson could do and say what he liked— He blinked as the thought wormed its way into his gray matter. A personal impulse day! One day each year when a man could do every- thing that impulse suggested. Ideas sifted through his brain. First, he'd punch that fresh eclevator operator, then— . Suddenly Wentworth saw the big blue sedan careening up the road toward him. That would be the big, burly fellow who always made him run off the road and ruin his tires. Smithe made up his mind—as he had countless times before—this time the sedan wouldn't crowd him from the road. Closer and closer the car careened, drunkenly. Smithe's thin lips set in a determined line as the car came closer. Now the blue sedan would have to pull over, or else— Brakes screamed, Wentworth felt the car skidding. He closed his eyes. The world spun around him. Fast- er—faster— Something snapped within his head. Devil take the police, take everybody! No driver would make a sucker of him. He half fell from the car to glare at the man sitting in the cracked-up machine. He raised his small, knotted fist “You can't get away with: ‘The big fellow came to life. “Listen, | shrimp,” he roared. “Who—" Wentworth's fist shot over the door of the car and connected with the man’s nose. The fellow’s eyes widened with astonishment. But Wentworth's opened wider. A sense of power flowed through him. A motor cycle siren sounded down the road! Smithe turned to his car, Jumped behind the wheel. He grinned at his still dazed victim. “Let that be a lesson to you!” he Jeered. His car leaped forward. The siren’s wail was close behind him as he tramped down on the ac- celerator. Fascinated, he watched the dial strip jump to numbers he had never seen before. He peered into the mirror, recog- nized the grim, sun-tanned face be- hind. Slattery from Westchester! | ‘Wentworth pressed the accelerator to the floor, but the cop stayed with him. A highway sign reading “Fresh Oil” loomed ahead! Wentworth took his foot from the accelerator, dared not apply the| brakes. Slattery saw the danger too late, struggled to keep the motor cycle erect.

He'd always want- ed to “jump” a red light. A motor cycle cop pulled out ahead of him. Wentworth steered in behind—stepped on the gas, blew the horn! He felt like a big-shot pol- itician with an es- cort. A truck pulled out of the next side street. cop swerved past. Wentworth couldn't! His car slid along the curb, his bumper hooked a fire plug. There was a hissing sound, a geyser of water shot into the air, cascading on the throng of onlookers. Wentworth scrambled from his car, ducked into the subway entrance. He dove under a turnstile as a train hummed to a stop. Some one tried to push by as he wormed his way into the car. The heel of his hand pushed the man back For once he'd | have standing room. The train jerked. threw Went- worth off balance. He was tapped on the shoulder. “S-a-a-y, you're on my foot!" It was the head bookkeeper, An- derson: the blight of his life. “Hello, Andy,” Wentworth smiled; ‘T'll be late. Must get breakfast first. See you later.” Anderson gasped like a fish out of water Wentworth had seen Freda Wil- liams, elbowed his way to where she sat. The out-of-town buyers always hung around her. self between Freda and a fat woman. “Hello—join me at breakfast?"” Freda's eyes widened. “Why, Mr. Smithe! Do you really—why, thanks.” Wentworth leaned close to her in- viting red lips. “We might take the day off.” She put her mouth to his ear. “Aw, Mr. Smithe.” Smithe wriggled closer. Without warning, he felt & huge elbow smack against his back. The breath went out of him all at once! The world | was sinking, his brain whirled! He opened his eyes, saw four walls spinning. He felt an awful ringing in his head. “Feel better?” Wentworth could see the speaker’s face, a pretty face framed in a white collar—but it wasn't Freda's. “Wh—what happened?” he queried, weakly. A cool hand caressed his forehead. The voice was soothing: “You were in an accident.” Smithe stammered, “Did I punch that fellow—" “No-0,” the nurse said very softly. rst!” * “Well—well, say!” Smithe mur- mured, and went off to sleep.

By the Assoclated Press.

I'll get them out of prison.” Doctors said yesterday this was “her best day, so far,” and that she was| “very definitely on the road to re- covery.” — RECEIVERSHIP STANDS | Supreme Court Refuses to Review | Action in Creel Bros.
