The Key West Citizen Newspaper, August 26, 1936, Page 3

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, SYNOPSIS: Carol Torrance has taken a job teaching in the Ashboro high school. largely because she can’t bear her home town any longer, She dae to go on from Ashboro to Atlanta or some other city—but then she meets Denis Ford. She is determined that Denis shall not stop her. She knows he is @ newspaper man out of work and @ rebel and probably unstable. But now. when Dents te attting her on the front pore Bhat She hire fold himw her ate gladly. Chapter 11 THE CATES BOY AGS stopped before the house and Denis stood up, pulling her with him. “The traffic’ll be thick here from now on. Lets go.” In the street Carol looked inquir- -ngly at his roadster and he chuckled. “My kid brother’s, He’s a poteu- tial captain of industry. Five years from now he'll be able to buy out the family—Dad included.” “Where is there to go?” “I' wisb I knew. Besides, I don’t want to go anywhere; | want to sit still and talk to you. Under the cir- cumstances we might be forgiven for parking. .. .’ “I probably wouldn’t be forgiven for parking under any circumstan- “Oh, hell.” There was genuine anguish in the whisper. “Well, we'll go get a soda. Anybody can park in front of a drug store.” She ordered a cherry phosphate, not because she liked it, but because it ccst five cents. Then she said: “It's your turn, Denis, to begin at the beginning.” He told his Odyssey tersely, stark- ly. One year of college and then Atlanta—Dallas—Kansas City. Al- ‘Ways newspapers. “On the last job,” he explained, “one of my chores was the movie reviews. They got me kicked out.” Her throat ached intolerably—for him, and’ Pat, who was rather like him, -nd for herself. All rebels, and all groping in the dark. She said quietly: “And now what?” He shrugged. “I'm waiting to hear from a job with a Washington paper. A friend who's got the job now is going abroad soon, and I’m supposed to inherit it. And in the meantime—” he erinned down at her—“you guess.” “You're writing The Great Amer- ican Novel.” “Nope. I'm revolutionizing the short-story form.” Denis and Pat again. She asked curiously: “Are they any good?” “The editors don’t think so.” “Bring’em around some time and let me see what J think.” He started the car. “Of course. ‘Tomorrow night?” Denis was going to be hard to manage. “Not tomorfow; one night next week.” He said emphatically: “Tomor- row. One night next week I may be on my way to Washington.” He put his hand oz hers. “Yes?” She gave in, and despised herself for an invertebrate. “I suppose so. We can sit in the parlor under Notre “Dame and you can read aloud to me.” If that didn’t discourage him nothing would. “Oh, I'll think of some other place by that time.” He found an unpaved country road and began driving more and more slowly. Suddenly he stopped the car and took her in his arms. “Carol—there’s not much time....” She hadn't felt this way since Bill Faraday, and it frightened her. He said huskily: “This is worse than I expected. Carol—newspaper men do have wives. ...” CHOOL was becoming gradually @ matter of routine, Gradually, too, she was getting acquainted with the rest of the faculty. Miss Haw- kins, the head of the English depart. ment, was delightful: mellow and wise, with a quiet wit and a bound- less tolerance. And Miss Thomas, who taught Latin, vas a dynamo of enthusiasm—an enthusiasm that grew rather than diminished with the years, If the occasion demanded, Caro} felt sure Miss Thomas would lead the cheers on the football field. Mr. Hall, the principal, improved on acquaintance. He admired Carol extravagantly, and gave her his whole-hearted support. In justice to him she had warned him of what she was doing. “I wanted to tell you,” she explained, “in case I came a cropper. Some pa- rents may object to having me put my foot through the delusions they've grown up with and passed on to their children.” He polished his nose thoughtfully. “They may, but I hope not, I'll keep an ear to the ground and warn you if 1 hear rumblings, How are you getting along?” She laughed. “Too smoothly. Something’s going to bust soon.” And the next day sqmething did. F ee 1986. In the midst of a lively discussion of Charlemagne the peace was shat- tered by a noise like hailstones, falling about Carol’s desk. Someone, she decided, had thrown a handful of birdshot, She stopped the discussion, and silence dropped like wool over the room. She sat for several seconds studying the still faces before her, and drew her own conclusions about the culprit, The blandest and most innocent expression sat suspiciously on the face of a boy in the last row: Sam | Cates, He was one of the dwellers in Moronia, and worse still'he was an embryo criminal. He had not an- swered a question in three weeks of school, and his written work con- sisted of verbatim copies of what he could see on the papers of his neighbors, She was convinced that Sam had thrown the shot, but she had to have corroboration. “We can’t go on, I’m we find out where that came from.” Nothing but stillness, She said quietly: “Probably the person who threw it is too much of a coward to say anything, so somebody will have to speak for him.” Stillness. She tried again, conversationally. “Another one of the delusions we've all grown up with is the one about being.a tattle-tale. If you saw a man robbing a store and had a chance to identify him later on you'd do it gladly, because the man’s dangerous to society. ‘ “The same thing holds true about disturbers of the peace anywhere, even in school. If the person who threw that stuff hasn’t got backbone enough to admit it, we'll have to sit here and hope somebody else has nerve enough to do it for him.” Sam Cates looked sidewise, defy- ing his neighbors to say anything. The bell for noon recess rang. The class stirred rostlessly, but Carol shook her head. “Sorry,” she said pleasantly, loathing herself, and wondering if this was right or wrong. Three minutes crawled by like years. Suddenly someone spoke. A tiny, frightened girl in the aisle next to Sam. “Miss Torrance, Cates.” “You're a damn liar!” it was Sam The words splintered the stillness | of the room. They echoed and re echoed. in an immense, frozen si- lence. Carol stood up and spoke to Sam Cates, and there was nothing in her voice but an icy contempt. “Get out of thi room. I don’t care where you go, so long as you get out and don’t come back. If you still hope to stay in school, go to Mr. Hall’s office and wait till I get there. If you prefer to go home and stay, that suits us even better.” Sam Cates left with a swagger that convinced no one, not even him- self. When he had gone Carol smiled at the frightened little girl, HE was trembling with tury as she walked to the principal's of- fice. To her surprise Sam Cates was there, his close-set eyes stony with hate. She nodded and glanced at Cates. “Get out of here, and wait in the hall.” Mr. Hall’s eyes widened in sur prise. He hadn’t thought her cap- able of such offhand, masculine con- tempt. She drew a deep breath. “It’s a new one on me,” she said, managing to smile, and told him the story. Mr. Hall sat polishing his nose in wordless astcenishment. “I never heard of such a thing,” he admitted finally. “What do you want me to do?” “Expel him. Not entirely because of that; the episode fs a godsend as far as I’m concerned.” She disposed of Sam’s scholarship in a few terse sentences, “Nothing is more expensive,” she pointed out, “than this miserable policy of giving everybody a chance. One boy or girl like that can de moralize a whole class of decent students. Why should he?” “He shouldn't, of course. But this is a public school. As long as a child behaves we have to give him valu- able desk room and hope he'll out: grow his indifference. But of course this offense is grave enough for expulsion, if you think best.” “I do. Ask the other teachers if he’s ever answered a question. J feel sure they'll say no, and cheer his departure. He's not a child; he’s nineteen or twenty years old. And ] think he’s an embryo criminal.” He summoned Sam, “You're éxpelledy'Saih: Gét your books and get out,” (Copyright, 1986, by Marian Sims) But tomorrow Carol has a sad caller.

This information was contained in a telegram received at Black-/ well’s Stop-Over 11:30 o’clock last night. Earl Ingraham, catcher on the Key West outfit, telegraphed! the news as soon as possible after the contest. Elimination Tournament GIANTS NOW GAME The hitting of Hale and Sterling! featured the game. Both these! players knocked home runs, which! helped tremendously in bringing | victory ‘to the Conchs, A bit of human interest was) contained ‘in the telegram in ‘that! “Wrinkley Bill” stated ‘Hale hit ;a homer with bat Andrea bought for team.” According to the information, all the boys played a wondertui | game and everybody was feeling iine, ready for the next battle. The boys say “We are going to try and stay over. A little short of money.” Due to the fact that the locats will be inactive today and therefore will have to remain in Miami unzi] tomorrow night at} least, their funds will almost be} depleted by the time they play Thursday right. It was arranged | late last gh: after tne receipt: of, the telegram, to selicit funds t‘day and send whatever amount of money coliecied to the team as soon as practical. Followers of diamondball in Key West and others will be call- ed on to donate as much as they can afford in order that the team may remain in the tournament for the semi-finals and probably the finals. According to the schedule an nounced last week, the Conchs will, Thursday night, play the winner of the Fort Lauderdale- Dunn Bus game, which is to be held tonight. The Lauderdale outfit is favored this year and has one of the best pitchers of the state in Tuppen. This club won its game Monday night and will in all probability. come out vic- torious tonight. Should this happen, the locals | Leon will face the toughest opposition} the East Coast section could of- jfer. The strength of the team may be seen in the score by which it won the game from Marine A. C.
