173; . Nelda, a beautiful, courageous is running a lettuce farm to e her personal dreams come true, Bill, @ tenned, young lettuce farmer, clashes frequently with Nelda. Reck, blond, gay and wealthy, makes a big play for Nelda. Mrs. Beckléss, Reck’s cold, ar- Togant mother, thinks no girl is good enough for Reck. Jack, Neida’s younger brother, is in medical school. Chapter 17 Aftermath PPRECTLY after lunch Jewel said, “Let's scram. I want to get home early.” A few miniites later, while ing’the bedroom ee and Heres shared: together; Nelda heard Val say, “I'm simply dying for a drink.” “The whole party has put me to i a Harvey's bored voice re- ied. As she watched them climb into their cars Nelda had the feeling that none of. them would ever come again except Claire. They wanted the clang of street cars, the roar of motors, scented baths and_ other luxuries that mon and the were afforded. Well, those ings she wanted, too.

She dasked off a frantic letter to him, coi him to re- main in college, with him to be a big boy and not a child, — him that the lettuce crop looked promising enough to send them both through school next Ts the manner of bloated aris- its. The sound of a motor, coming flying to the Up the Tane, sent her door, set her heart to leaping. It was thrilling to see the rakish car, the big belted overcoat, the eager smile, the curly blond head, even better to see that Reck was in his gayest mood sae 4 “How are your bloodthirsty nei ” was his airy greeting. the maternal in-| di made Mrs. pone that und is so important.

The ‘way Mrs. Moresi’s face brightened remained with Nelda all day. She felt as if she had lighted a candle where all was dark. She fully expected Bill to come with an apology for his abrupt.de- parture, but he didni"t}-and she felt a sense of disappointment. * She dressed early,next evening for the dinner she was to attend: with Reck at the Rio Del Mar..She was @ vision of girlish eagerness in her white taffeta dress. Her’ dark hair. lay in“ smooth, shining waves and her cheeks were deli- cately flushed. It was no wonder she smiled into the mirror at her lovely re- flection. She was as tremulous with eXcitement as she was when she had her first date. It was thrilling to-be going out to dine and dance again. It was living! “Do you look you?” -Reck exc: admitted-him. “You look atand yourself, Reck.” Her_admiring gaze was taking in his Fnatrte sf tailored suit. “Grand re ‘we're going, lady.” At the Rio Del Mar the music, the soft lights; the beautifully dressed women, the well-groomed men, the delicious food—all touch- ed senses hun: for them. Her eck’s sparkled. “How do you like it?” he asked. “Best time I've had for ages and ages.” She leaned: back in a mood of relaxation and happiness. “We're going to have many more good times. together,” he planned. “Let's dance.” She rose with alacrity, not want- ing to waste a moment of the de- lightfal music. “I think you're tops,” he whis; ered agaifst her dark hair. “I'd like to dump the world in your iD. “Why don’t you?” she asked Maybe { will” - ‘will.’ The taste of | was insid- iously sweet to Nelda. It whetted her determination to go back to college in the fall. Added to that desire was a new incentive that had come since the visit of her young friends: She would iike to show — she could = enough by her management of the rancho to finish her education. Money earned by her own brains and skill. Dreams 'T WAS two days later when she returned from town that Uncle Ham met her at the roadster with a@ message which had been left during her absence. “The Powells want you to come over and play bridge tonight,” the old man said. “I won't go!” she announced stormily. Bill Langdon would be there, she thought. She never wanted to see him again. Why should she? They clashed every time they met. But ‘upon second thought she decided she couldn’t vent her feel- ing against Bill upen the Powells. Ray and Doris were two swell people she never wanted to let own. “Tl go if it kills me,” she said, climbing out of the ‘car. “Guess you'll live through it all right,” Unclé Ham observed dryly. The fourth at bridge that night was not Bill but a middle-aged man named Dyer. In the course of the evening. Tearned that he was connected with a large whole- sale grocery concern in Sacra- mento. “Had to come way down here to Jook up the kind of beans we want,” he remarked. Then face- tiously, “If you people would raise "em and haul ’em up to me you'd save me a lot of trouble and make a lot of money for yourselves.” Nelda didn’t know why she be- came so interested in beans. What did she care about beans? Perhaps it was because Bill had told her they put nitrogen into the soil.

They would think her crazy if she told them that she’d been visualiz. ing a carayan of beans bound for ‘holesale dealers in other sections of the state. She was amazed annoyed at herself for ha such ideas, They could not be with her plan to return to her marriage to Reck. é She'd been toying lately with a vision of herself as Earl Reck- jess.

Lauderdale Tarpons. previous- ly undefeated in the State of Florida. Going through the entire first- half with wild shooting, the Conchs trailed the Tarpons 21-12 at the half and it looked like a gone game. The Tarps were breaking through the Conch de- fense with sharp thrusts, to net baskets by Cox and Vaughan, caught Lopez on several “sleep- er” plays and were sinking nice ones from the center line. The short breaks were extremely dan- gerous, and Coach Huddleston (sent the word along a number of times via the substitutes to rush the tall scorers under the basket and break up the scoring, but the Cenchs were so much up in the air that first-half that nothing registered. The “renai ce” of “Missis- sippi” Porter, who has been play- ing a slow type of game, was the outstanding feature of the game. He was high point man of the evening with 12 markers, topping even Woodson, “who started the second-half rally and who had a total of 11 points. Cox, brilliant Tarpon forward, was high point man for his mates with eight. Vaughan, lanky cen- ter, was next with seven count- ers. ‘The game was extremely rough, Lauderdale committing 11 per- sonal fouls, and Key West five. The Conchs sank six of the free throws, Lauderdale three. Coach A. E. Sweeney of the Tarpons kicked a little over the refereeing, but admitted that the “best team won”. In a preliminary game, High Séhoo! girls lost to an All- Star team of Convent girls, 9-1, giving a weak exhibition. Bernice Brantley, with two sweet over- head shots and three fouls for # total of seven points, led the squads.
