She walked to him. “Thé lettuce is not up yet,” she said. “I've -been looking every day to see if there are any green shoots.” He smiled. “It’s fun to watch things grow.” She raised'suddenly serious eyes to his: “Do you harpen to-know where-I could. buy a good used truck?” “Yes, I do. Man who lives near town has one ke wants to sell.” “Why does he want to get rid of it?” “He’s goin: “Lucky fellow. “That.” Bil said cynically, “is purely a matter of opinion.’ Then he shrugged as if the whole subject was,of_no importance “How can I find this man?” she asked. “Hop in, and fl Seca” to down there if. you like.” he-offered. She , was about to tell ‘him that she and Jack would go later, but changed her mind when he added, “That is if you think you can stand riding in my old jalopie.” ‘ “Course | ean.” He alighted with a grace and peility she hadn't noticed in him fore. to move to the city.” She rienced a certain mag- netic thrill that drew her to him against her will. There was nothing provincial about him, she decided: as she lis- tened to his well-modulated voice. He talked as if he had a cultural background. but when she tried to seemed to retreat anderect a bar- rier that said. “You cannot pass!” “Reck came over to see us on ristmas Eve,” she remarked during <i There the cewelawracee ee was puzzlement in his voice. “Earl Reckless—the boy who ‘was with you that day at the ser- vice station.” 1938. could be replaced when her jew- ely was sold. “I can’t give you the money un- til tomorrc w,” she told the bright- eyed Salyo. Z He was frankly disappointed. “Peoplesay they will:ecome’back and don't.” he complained. “An- other man—he is looking at_my truck and wilF let me know this afternoon<!whether or not: he'll take it.” Bill drew out his wallet. “T can-give you $10.to:hold it for | Miss. Barrie.” he offered. | Nelda, seeing that the $10 bill was all'the money the wallet con- tained..,.pretested quickly, “Oh, you tmustn’t!” “You can pay me back.” “Sure! Sure!” Salvo interposed. “For $10 down I'll hold it for you.” Bill wrote out a receipt on a leaf of his ae and had Belvo sign it, then he passed it on to Nelda. “When they started: away she asked mischievously. “How do you kniow:¥ou'H get your money back. Bill Langdon?” “You have an honest face, Nelda Bartie.” he replied with @ laugh. ‘They-were chatting airily when the car suddenly went dead: “Til bet-it’s the-distributor!” Bill exclaimed in an annoyed tone and alighted to fift the hood. “Can you fix it?” Nelda got out and ‘went to stand beside him. “J could.” he said slowly. a. deep frown between his blue eyes, “but it would take too much time.” His gaze swept the surround- ings. A short distance away was 2 large red stucco house. 3 “That place looks as if it might be able to support a telephone. You wait here, and ll call a garage.” She thought of the bill- he'd given Salvo. Perhaps he wouldn't be able to. pay for.the -epairs on his car. She would get the bill back from Salvo and take her chances on him holding the truck until tomorrow. 5 She was trying tc think up tact- ful words to inform Bill of her. decision when a smart black road- ster shot past ¢nem. ‘Ask Me For Money’ HAT was Reck!” she cried. Bill nodded briefly. Reck had evidently them, for he was turning around. “Trouble?” he inquired as he came to a stop beside the old sedan. “Distributor points, I think.” There was curtness in Bill's voice. “Want a-tow?” eck asked. “No; ['m going to have a me- chanic come —" Before he could finish Reck said, Poe Nelda home.” Nelda hated to desert him when he was in trouble, but there seemed nothing else to do. “I'll have to 50 Bill.” she said 7ently. “You see didn’t tell my folks I was. going with you. when. we started out “Oh, yes!

Reck looked surprised for a mo- ment, then he drew out his wallet with 2 flourish. “Sure! More if you want it.” He fingered several bills. “Ten dollars is all l want.” Nelda took the money and silently hand- ed it to Bilk seyatical 3 ‘ou mean. you suspect it, don’t you?” hi "| She wanted to Today’s Birthdays Se eeeeeseneecesecoaecese U.

Generals. 53-12 CARBONELL STARS GIVE FELLOWSHIP CLUB DECI- SIVE LICKING; BIG CROWD PRESENT Keyed to a pitch and facing a rather weak team, the - High School Conchs last night smeared the Andrew Jackson Generals of Miami with a 53-12 plastering at the Gym before a large crowd. J. V. ‘Woodson, scintillating guard, ripped the net to shreds with perfect marksmanship. Mak- ing beautiful field shots from just behind the foul circle, ¢oming a little closer and dropping a num- ber of one’ hand flips, and finally slapping in a few short ones un- der the basket for a 24 point high total, Woodson turned in the ‘best scoring performance seen in High School games in-quite a long,time. “Candy” Lewin, with: arching, smothly launched field shots split the hoop beautifully” feur~ times, arid added a foul for a nine point total. Domenech, though playing nervous and tight part of the game, scintillated every so often with sparkling squirts through the hoop for a nine point total. Schoneck and Lopez turned’ in nice floor games, checking with the ball, recovering wild passes, and intercepting opposition heaves. Under the basket in fol- lowing up and recovering the Conchs were always in there. Panolt, a graceful and effective shotmaker, who chalked up nine points, and Captain Baker, with the same number of points, pro- vided the only feature of the General scoring. Their passing was nice, but their breaking for the basket was poor and the €onch defense too tight to let them have many basket openings. In a preliminary game, the Fel- lowship Club exhibited several moments of nice passing but gen- erally turned in a slow perform- ance and were easily licked by the leading Carbonell Stars in a Teague game. The count was 37-16.
