COWARD'S SHOT } RT saw a move or two yonder [in the drift, but not an arrow Calling across to them. in the 7 Chinook jargon, he tried to work up “® palaver. «+ His party’came as ffiends. He was not after furs or ‘the yellow gold of the creek beds. ‘Hg intended to stay only a short moon In the Lilluar ranges. Re bad offered his men not to lift the shoot- stich against the Klosohees. Why ‘should the Klosdhees try to ‘them? Would they send a man to talk with bim and learn ~ the strangers brought no only answer he got was his ‘WO hours north of the, pase they camé to a place where the Lil- 'uar’ spread’ out into a big lakelike widening. Though the day was still young, Curt decided to camp at once. He stood up and looked the lake over. It was dotted with little islands, some wooded, some’ bare. ‘With his. glasses he studied two small ones that lay taolated out in the middie. One was a strip of.mud covered with red willows. The other, fifty yards to the east, was a mere half-acre of pea-gravel and boulders. It was free of timber, the Indian's own-element; he could build a bar- Tieade of those rocks; ard the thousand yards of open water all around made a surprise attack im- possible. - . Heted the way over, landed, and set hie party to work. They,cooked a meal, repaired the canoes, brought ‘a small raft of fuel logs from a wooded: island, pitched the tents, built a tiny fort of the boulders, and made sentry boxes on the north and west beaches. N the east shore of the lake a large tributary river came wind- {og in from the mountains. Curt barricade, got and identified ‘er as the Iskitimwah. 3 ally his eyes followed the Curt looked over the lake. stream back into the ranges.

But his bullet had Milased Its mark, and before be 0 in the Indians had acized his rifle and stopped him tm spite of that ugty hole through Bis sleeve, the incident seemed a 00d omen to Curt, and for the first time he really believed that he was going to win the Klosohees over. ‘They were bonest men, in their own Primitive way, as old Paxton and Inspector Jamieson had said. With tact and patience he might make * to meet him there with the amphib- ian. The rende@zvous was two days past slready. “One devil-of-a. chance I've got of ever meeting Smash,” he swore, “ted up as iam. i can't stir an inch away from this outfit.” The afterngon passed, twilight erept {nto the mountain valley. After supper he shoveled sand over the coals and gave his instructions: “No. fires. tonight, no matches Struck, no talking above a low tone. Nobody is to go into those tents or anywhere near them.

It was like a basin full of dlacknese, with a faint light around the rim. ~ A bright moon overhead turned the waters to wavy silver. He was thankful for that friendly moon; sentry-go was infinitely easier than in darkness. Five hundred yards north two merganser ducks started calling back and forth. For a time he paid ‘nO attention but when they kept it ap longer than ducks should have done, he began listening closely. The calls sounded all right, he could detect nothing wrong about them; dat he had bis suspicions. Maybe ft was a pair of ducks out there. And (Copyright. 1233. William B.

Mrs. Jefferson Knight, who is in charge of: the cafeteria, Ma- tilda Knight and Mrs. Bernard Biaza also assisted Mr. Hallock in preparing and serving the supper.

But this does not apply to the actors in the farce comedy “Antics of Andrew” to be present- ed by the Key West Dramatic Club at the high school auditor- ium tomorrow night. At the rehearsal last night all members of the cast were laughing at one time or another. Not at mistakes of their fellow workers, but at the excruciatingly funny and mirthful dialogue making up the story. Rarely does a’ playwright con- struct a story with the laugh pro- voking situations and brilliant dia- logue as did the writer of this comedy and manage to consistent-! ly carry out the theme without ever lessening the appealing qual- ity of his efforts, And rarely, also, does a group jof amateur performers so com-~ pletely portray the characters in a tale and, for the time being, live the parts created in the mind of the writer as do the members of this local club. To expatiate on the abilities, of the individual performers would create an anti-climax to the treat that is awaiting those who will at- tend the presentation. : Suffice it that under. the direc- tion o> Emil Sweeting the cast ha: responded readily to his coaching and each member, whether _inter- preting one of the leads or.a less- er role, is a necessary fraction of a complete and perfect whole: There wifl be no — peetihiary. benefit derived from the réetipts by any member of the cast, as'the entire proceeds, less expenses, (will be donated to the fund of Battery “E”, Florida National Guard) Florida Congress P.
