SATURDAY, FEBRUARY. 8, SYNOPSIS: Walls playing, golf with Dr. Thomas, Bobby Jones discovers a man lying injured at the bottom of a chasm. The doctor goes for help, and while he is gone the man mutiers, “Why didn’t they ask Evans?” and dies. Boney had promised to play the organ for his father, who is vicar at Marchbolt, and when a pleasant stranger Shows up he gladly relinquishes his vigil and skips for the church. But he has seen a photograph in the man’s pocket, the face of which has @ strange, haunting beauty. Chapter Three ENTER FRANKIE “QORRY, Dad,” Bobby broke In, speaking cheerfully and breezi- ly as was his habit no matter what the subject. “Not my fault this time. I was keeping guard over a corpse.” “You were what?” “Keeping guard over a blighter who stepped over the cliff. You know—the place where the chasm is, by the seventeenth tee. There was a bit of mist just then, and he must have gone straight on and aaa eried the Vicar. Was the man ‘Good heave: “What a traged, killed outright?” “No. He wasup ious.

And then another fellow came afong,, 0° § passed the job of chief mourier‘on to. him.and legged it here as fast as I could.” The Vicar sighed. “Oh, my dear Bobby!” he said. “Will nothing shake your deplorable callousness? It grieves me more than I can say. Here you have been brought face to face with death— with sudden death. And you can joke about it! It leaves you unmoved. Everything — everythin; however ‘solemn, however sacred, is merely a joke to your generation.” Bobby shuffled his feet. If his father couldn't see that of course you joked about a thing be- cause you had felt badly about it— well, he couldn't see it! It wasn’t the sort of thing you could explain. With death and tragedy about, you had to keep a stiff upper lip. But what could you expect? No- body over fifty understood anything at all. They had the most extraor- dinary ideas. “I expect it was the War,” thought Bobby loyally. “It upset them and they never ight again.” aid with a clear- t explanation The Vicar he looked so ed; but be also felt ashamed, DE’ yim. The ‘boy had no conception of the seriousness of life. Even his-apolosy-was cheery and impenitent. They moved towards the Vicar- age, each making enormous efforts to find excuses for the other. The Vicar thought, “I wonder when Bobby will find something to do....” Bobby thought, “Wonder how much longer I can stick it down here. ...” Yet they were both extremely fond of each other. OBBY did not see the immediate sequel of his adventure. On the following morning he went up to town, there to meet a friend who was thinking of starting a garage and who fancied that Bobby's co- operation might be valuable. After settling things to every- body’s satisfaction, Bobby caught the 11:30 train home two days later. He caught it, true, but only by a very narrow margin. He arrived at Paddington when the clock announced the time to be 3 1938, 11:28, dashed down the subway, emerged on No. 3 platform just as the train was moving, and hurled himself at the first carriage he saw, heedless of indignant ticket-collec- tors and porters in-his immediate rear. Wrenching open the door, he fell in on hands and knees, picked him- self up, the door was shut with a slam by an agile porter, and Bobby found himself looking at the sole other occupant of the compartment. It was a first-class carriage and in the corner facing the engine sat a dark girl smoking a cigaret. She had on a red skirt, a short green jacket and a brilliant blue béret, and de- spite a certain resemblance to an organ-grinder’s monkey (she had long, sorrowful, dark eyes and a puckered-up face) she was distinct- ly attractive. In the midst of an apology, Bobby broke off. “Why, it’s you, Frankie!” he said. “I haven’t seen you for ages.” “Well, I haven't seen you. Sit down and talk.” Bobby grinned. “My ticket’s the wrong color.” “That doesn’t matter,” said Frankie kindly. “I'll pay the differ- ence for you.” “My manly indignation rises at} “How | the thought,” said Bobby. could I let a lady pay for me?” : | Bakers 7, High School 5. “It’s about all we seem to be good for these days,” said Frankie. “I will pay the difference myself,” said Bobby heroically as a burly figure in blue appeared at the door from the corridor. “Leave it to me,” said Frankie. HE smiled graciously at the ticket-collector, who touched his hat as he took the piece of white cardboard from her and punched it. “Mr. Jones has just come in to talk to me for a bit,” she said. “That won't matter, will it?” “That's all right, your ladyship. The gentleman won't be staying long, I expect.” He coughed tact- fully. “I shan’t be round again till after Bristol,” he added signifi- cantly. “What can be done with a smile!” said Bobby as the official withdrew. Lady Frances Derwent shook her head thoughtfully. “I'm not so sure it's the smile,” she said. “I rather think it’s Father’s habit of tipping everybody five shil- lings whenever he travels that does it” “I thought you'd given up Wales for good, Frankie.” Frances sighed. “My dear, you know what it is. You know how mouldy parents can be. What with that, and the bathrooms in the state they are, and nothing to do and no- body to see—and people simply won't come to the country to stay nowadays! They say they’re econo- mizing and they can’t go so far. Well, I mean, what's a girl to do?” Bobby shook his head, sadly recog- nizing the problem. “However,” went on Frankie, “af- ter the party I went to last night, I thought even home couldn’t be worse.” “What party? ‘Nothing at all. It was just like any other party only more so. We had dinner at the Savoy, and we went on from there to the Marion- ette, and we went on from there to the Bull Ring—I tell you, Bppor, #4 not good enough.” foxrt (Copyright 1933-35-36, Agatha: Christi) | was wrong with the And Monday there will Se -n ine quest in Marchbolt. aa —--- _ | half, ay BAKERS DROPPED FROM TOP RUNG IN CAGE LEAGUE LOST TO HIGH SCHOOL LAST NIGHT AT _GYM;, TIGERS AND ABC ‘FIVE NOW *'TIED | FOR FIRST PLACE ~ As the result’ ofthe‘ “double- header played last ‘night at ‘the High School Gym by’‘méembers of the Island City Baskétbali League, the Busy Bee Bakers dropped out {of the three-cornered fight for first place, while the Park Tigers and School five remained tied for top honors. The Tigers won an overwhelm- ing victory from the WPA quin- tet in the opening game last night. The final score was 56 to 21. In the first quarter the score see-sawed and at the end it was tie, 8 to 8. From then on, the Tigers were in complete control, scoring 18 points in the second quarter, 16 in the third and 14 in the final quarter. Cates made 10 field goals, Smith eight and Hale six.

FOLLOWING THROUGH | I would like to say a few words in behalf of one of the members of the Recreation Department— Gus Ayala, This talented young man was married this week to Miss Dora C. Arnau. Mr. Ayala is at pres- fent acting as director of the beach wagon. He is an accom- plished musician and a member of j Del Woods’ orchestra. Miss Ar- jnau is popular among the young- er set of this city. Del Woods acted as best man at the wedding and Mrs. Charles Williams was the Waid of kener.

In fact, a couple forgot to dodge and thereby got an unexpected bath. Maybe they needed same, who knows? But as far as the golf scores were concerned the thing to do is read below and see for ' yourself: 1 It seems that our genial Post- master, Mr. Samuel Ephraim Harris, is a man of speed. He ar- tives so early on the course that either he must play alone or fret around until an early arrival helps him out by being an oppon- ent. Bill Malone was the opposi- tion this time and the net re- sults were that the 43-yehr-old wonder made 96 strokes while the ex-mayor was doing 100 strokes. Of course, Bobby Harlington had lots of fun telling Bill how he enjoyed the old Sunday school class and Bill always gave the reply that the reason he dropped same was on account of Sam was {a member. Of course if you ar- gue with either of those gentle- men, both will claim they were students of the other. In fact, neither were students of any- body but Bill used to teach a class but gave it up when Bubber ask- ed to join same. Mr.-Bascom Grooms, who is head man at the electric com- pany, took a couple of his right jhand men along to show them how to play golf but he forgot that his treasurer may be a port- sider but at the same time he gives strokes to no guy, not even the boss. Of course, Ammy Hew- ett (for that is the man) does not shoot any par golf but he shoots par for him, so what the heck! Fred Ayala, the golfing sartorial expert, was more wor- ried about his game Thursday than any appearance and_there- fore proceeded to beat both Bas- com and Brother Hewett. Last week it seems that~ Otto |Kirchheiner and Samuella Gold- mitheput the skids under Win- some’ Willie and Timotheus, so this week an agreement was reach- ed whereby Willie and Sam were to give Otto and Tim a stroke on low ball and play best and worst ball. It looked like easy pickin’s for Willie and Sam but alas and alack. . .’twas ever thus. . .Otto and Tim won by the neat score of 4 and 2. Now it was on this wise. Otto had some 46-50 strokes and Tim had 44-46 (which is pret- ty good). On the other side, Samuella had 38-39 while Pious Willie had 42x and 30xxx. Now all those x’s mean a complete story. They mean that Fussy Bill cannot play golf when a bunch of ‘magpies’ are chatter- ing. All those x marks mean that when Fussy Bill was trying to drive, putt, chip or use @ spoon, either Tim, Sam or Otto was try- ing to divert his mind. Why, once Charlie Ketchum was a_half- mile away and still Wilie had to wait for it to become quiet. Any- way, Mr. Watkins says that he sees the only chance for him to play golf amidst peace and quiet is to buy a couple of ear-muffs or else take a club and wrap around some of the necks of fel- low golfers. However, let us hope that Winsome Willie will have at least made a hole in one before he begins the mayhem op- erations, A’rapid fire foursome compos- ed of George Dodge with 35-36 and Melvin Russell with 47-48 played against Eddie Strunk with 41-42-and Willie Kemp with 42-43. It seems that playing best and worst ball. Willie and Eddie managed to win by one point, The sad part of the whole day was when the pro shot a game which registered but one above par that the soda water was on him.

Nevertheless, the Sanitary De- partment and Administration tens were out at Bayview Park yester- day and played an_ exhibition game. There are now only five clubs in the league instead of six. The Smith’s outftt has |not yet de- cided whether to play or not. However, weather permitting, the opening game of the second- half will be held Monday between the Administration and the Sani- tary teams. BASEBALL ‘GAME HERE TOMORROW Tomorrow afternoon, beginning at 2 o’clock, the Acevedo Stars will cross bats with the Monroe nine at the Navy Ball Field. Batteries for this game will be: Wickers and Izzy Rodriguez for the Monroes, and Elpidio and Hop- kins for the Stars. As Manager Armando Acevedo met with an accident and is un- able to play, Bill Cates will be on the Stars’ line-up. The contest tomorrow after- noon promises to be thrilling, as these teams played a great game last Sunday. SPECIAL SERMON BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. James S. Day, of the First Baptist church, states that he be- lieves that the conditions of today offer a particular challenge to the men of Key West, and that it is a challenge that calls for real heroism, which is a real job. Rev. Day will have something to say about this at the Sunday hight service at the First Baptist church. Sunday morning he will speak on the question: “Shall I Go to Church Today?” CLASSIFIED COLUMN SALESMEN WANTED SUCCESSFUL MANUFAC- TURER IN BUSINESS OVER 45 YEARS HAS LEGITI- MATE PROPOSITION FOR SALESMAN ‘IN THIS DIS- TRICT.
