THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1983. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN *°° | Basketball Game To Be SYNOPSIS: Phe truth of how Sir James Cane’s fortune began comes out. He had bought shares Barbara oer mother, that although ake te hough them. scorthlesa, hey re teorth par. The ‘vodeh ond seers smpoveris lg in love with Barbara, just has’ brought out that Mrs. 10 Barbara Quentin. who has br her engagement to Mark Lodely, rr hy it unpris on of Mra, Chapter 46 LEILA CANE €XPLAINS DID not teil anybody,” shouted Mrs. Lodely. “But you made it your business to get a copy of the wire, in the firm’s name, I suppose?” demanded Farrell. “Yes 1 did, Mr. Farrell Armitage, and Yd do it asain, And moreover I said to myself ‘it's clear Babs and Mark’ll marry one day. They're cut out for each other. And if poor old Sylvia gets this money she'll move right away and those two poor kids" be parted.’ So I kept It and I waited. And what business it has all been of yours, I shall never un- derstand!” “And father goes to jail or hands Barbara forty-five thousand odd or perhaps she: goes, to’ jail; anyway?” pit in Lella.~ “That the idea, b dal t _.

Are you, by any chance, your father’s keeper?” “Leila,” snapped Armitage, “made it clear to me from the first that she dissociated herself from what she suspected to. he her father’s attitude. I think it was an extremely Mifficult thing for her to convey but she conveyed it, I.don’t know why she should have had any suspicions to start with—” “I heard Mrs. Quentin asking father about the shares; and I think that, like Judy, 1 must have remem- bered that telegram and father read- ing it. And then, four or five years ago, I met a man at a dance here in Town. He asked me about Kings Mallard; did I know the Quentins? He said they’d bought some worth- less shares from a pal'of his once, out of sheer decency, and then eud- denly gold was found, after the pal owas dead. That,” goal became even cod! as Tsay, quite five years ago.” “The reason I asked you to be present,” put in Armitage with slight impatience, “was this, It's ob- viously to be best to dodge publicity, If: you'll put the whole “Supposing Miss Cane is allowed to give us her point of view?” broke in Poole, his face still to the fire. Armitage saw Leila’s hard face quiver, “It isn’t at all a heroic one,” she said slowly. “I thought I'd see if I | could squeeze just a few months’ fun even if it meant being as miser- able a little cheat as father. I meant to own up at the end of your year, Farrell.” “I’m sure I don’t know what year you're talkin’ about!” sobbed Mrs, Lodely. “She means,”’choked Mark, “the year which Farrell has set aside for the buying of Barbara. I don’t sug- gest with his money, naturally, but rather with his sterling worth, his | granite will and so on.” “What has my year got to do with it, Leila?” Again her mocked him, slender- shoulder, “Barbara would have wanted her | dowry then, I presume, whomever she married! And now, unless any- one else wants to sling mud at me, I'll go and tell father our little game. is up.” Through the uproar that followed, Armitage heard Leila address him, “Not fit to wipe Barbara's shoes, am I Farrell? Ali the same, if she marries you, you'll have to admit that I had something to do with it. Even if it was only by & veryglittle I opened her eyes.” She was passing Farrell on her way to the door. Before his eyes her portrait hung for a second. He plunged his hand into his pocket and pulled out the emeraid pen- dant. He tossed it into the curve of her arm and it slipped down into her palm, “Your fee,” he said. The next second he would bave given a fortune’ biggor than Bar bara‘e to take back action and words, He and Mark, two twisted bullies, tormenting a hunted thing. “Leila!” he muttered. But she went out of the room with her eyes upon the couch upon which Mark’s body lay motionless, while his face and his hands were twisted with ecstasy. She liad walked some way before she realized that the man keeping pace with her waa Kenneth Poole, Then— “Want anything?” she asked with- out turning her head, “Only to know where we're so ing?” “To the river," “Then I suggest « taxi. It’s some. way to the river. And we had better: keep it waiting until they've hauled’ us out again and taken our names and addresses.” ‘It’s not me I'm going to throw in. Nor you. .. . Why aren’t you mind- ing your own business? I thought the one thing we've ever agreed about was that we're each to mind our own business.” “You promised to have dinner Played This Evening The basketball game scheduled for tomorrow night at the Highi School gymnasium, between the} Celtics and the Alumni, will be played tonight instead, because of; |The College Hobo,” a drama} being put on tomorrow night for; the benefit of the library. i + Tt is [now ahead in the league, will be! up against a hard team tonight, due to the fact that the Alumni, has a much stronger team now! than they had at the Rerientae ;of the tournament.

Dinehart appears as a lawyer who presents a bene- volent face to the world, but who commits a cold blooded murder so craftily he is never suspected of it, and then plans to have an innocent man electrocuted for the crime. But a score of Hollywood child actors who know the real Alan Dinehart probably won’t be greatly impressed by the character they see upon the screen. These chil- dren appeared in the film for sev-|' eral days, acting as orphans at a Christmas party given by Dine- hart, and all of them became} friendly with the distinguished stage actor who has given so many outstanding performances during! the two years he has been in Hol- lywood. Dinehart likes children and chil- dren like him. He has a fourteen year old son now attending a mili- tary academy in the East. The children in “As the Devil Com- mands,” regarded him as a hero, rather than as the sinister charac- ter he usually brings to the screen. Between scenes the youngsters clustered around him, listening to his stories, asking him quetsions, and confiding their secrets. Celtics L.

The fountain will be built of stones taken from Ballast Point, on the shores of Tampa Bay. The location received its name from the fact that the great mass of colored rocks found there were brought by the vessels of the early Spanish traders as ballast and dumped at that particular point on the shores of Tampa bay when cargoes were secured for shipment to Spain or other European countries. “It’s so-so,” LEGALS asks Puff. says Puffy; “there’s “Do you like Spanish?” Don Pedro} jans Subscribe for The Citizen. lots better stuff.” YOU'LL FIND IT HERE!

Sounds were coming from Mrs. Lodely’ that were almost coherent, “Four or five years ago, did you say Leila? Did you say it was as long ago as that that you self, in spite of being considered so splendid!” “I'm not in the least splendid, } assure you. On the contrary, when 1 was in Kings Barn the other day 1 got hold of Judy’s copy of the tele- gtam to Quentin, Lodely and Cane and I—discussed it with father. Keep quiet one minute, Judy, @’you mind? Father saw. the force of my argument when I said that on a capital of forty-five thousand odd he -could allow me at least five hundred & year more, I think he rather ad- mired me.” A rising shriok of laughter came from where Mark's face glinted narrowly white against rugs and cushions. “T've never in my lite been as amused as Lam tonight. I adore you, Lella, for amusing me so!" “Do you mean to say, Leila, that, with absolute proof in your hand, you enjoyed money that is indis- putably Barbara's?" demanded Far rell harshly. “Guilty, my lord.” “I adore you for amusing me 40,” gasped Mark, “Yes, 1 really am laughing, Armitage, not just doing what I can to add to the general discomfture.
