MONDAY, a APRIL is, By The Story So Far: Two rank @utsiders have penetrated the sacred borwood hedge at Good- loe’s Choice—Reuben Oliver, self- made millionaire, and Cissy Rog- ers, red-headed aviatrix. Reuben, | who is in love with Judith, is in- jurea jumping his horse over the hedge, and the accident brings Cissy who loves Reuben, Jealous of Judith, Cissy captivates dash- ing Gary Brent. Instead of pro- posing to Judith, Gary flies west swith Cissy to a lumber job. Then, | the Goodloes discover they are penniless. by Chapter 12 Not A Gentleman SETED with Dick Blout her| lawyer, with Judith and Jim, | Amanda Goodloe faced the situa- tion with her usual indomitable courage. True to er she said: “We'll sell off some land. “You can’t give land away now. Amanda,” Blout told her gently. “You mean—?” incredulously. “No one will pay taxes on it.” Outside 1 dog barked.

He met her cold gaze with a colder one. “We might—” he began. | “Never mind,” Amanda, antici- pating and fearing his suggestion, cut him short. “Do you think. looking hopefully at Dick, “if we catalogued the King Charles plate, the mahogany—?” “It won't bring enough.” a you suggest something, Judy?’ Judi She went through the days in a sort of walking coma. Tossed through the nights in tearless agony. Gary had gone. She was waiting—-again. Marking time, de- spising herself because she did so, but not able to stop. No—Judi had no suggestions. The conference ended, as it had begun, | with nothing settled. “You'll hear from me in a day or two,” Amanda escorted Dick to the outer door. “Something must be arranged at the bank.” She had | no idea what that something would | | be. Oddly enough it was to Reuben Oliver, her unwanted guest, that old Mrs. Goodloe went for advice. Or rather he appeared before her | in her greatest moment of bewil- derment. He came into the booklined li- brary where she sat alone. He came awkwardly.

It’s been like—-like—” almost he said, “home”—Remembered he'd never really had a home. While he hunted for the right word. Amanda studied his face. What she saw there made her say hastily: “Be seated, Mr. Oliver.” Reuben did as he was told. Amanda said without preamble. “T'm told you are a very successful business man.” Swept Clean RDINARILY this would have pleased him.

My lawyer tells me that land is just -omething to pay taxes on.” Reuben vith effort blurted out. “Il have money, Mrs. Goodlee— plenty of it.” “So I’ve been told.” The same hint of amusement | was in her eyes that he had seen in Judith’s the day his horse threw | him. “She thinks I’m bragging— she’s laughing—” He straightened his shoulders and said recklessly: ‘Tll honor your notes.” Relief, joy, hope, lighteé Aman- THE KEY WEST CITIZEN PAGE TIUREEF da’s face.

He felt her anger sluicing, cold, like running water. He thought: “I’ve broken another of her blasted codes!” Poor Reuben! Unknowingly he had laid his finger upon the canker at Amanda’s heart. How could he dream that she owed her wifehood to that boxwood? Only one person, her youn, stepson in a fit of temper, ha dared to fling it at her: “My father only married you to save the box!” It was ‘ itifully, searingly true. In the years that followed, when this lad’s extravagances compelled sacrifices, the land was sold and the hedge transplanted to suit the smaller acreage — this explained three rows instead of the original } one. Later, Amanda, left with the rearing of her stepson’s two chil- dren, often reflected with a grim | sort of satisfaction, chat she had fulfilled her destiny.

The 1937 \junior league pennant and world series winners are out after their ‘third straight flag in the Ameri- lean League. Detroit Tigers, believed to be !the greatest threat to the Yanks, y will start the ball rolling Tuesday against the White Sox. St. Louis . who ran up an impres- gtapevine league record this spring, mostly against minor loop teams, will open against Cleve- land Indians tomorrow. Games on these two days will ‘give thousands of fans a chance to .witness the initial action of oldtimers and new players. A record attendance is expected at all opening contests. Both leagues are looking forward to large crowds during the season and some officials are anticipating a boom year. This year marks the hundredth anniversary. officially, of the na- tional pastime. The first dia- mond was laid out in Coppers- town, N. ¥., in 1839, by Gen. Ab- ner Doubleday. As in other years, the closets race is expected in the National League. Most experts and sports writers predicted the Giants would repeat this year, but with the acq ion of Dizzy Dean, the Cubs’ chances of cinching the pennant are unquestionably strengthened and the conce: of opinion is that the Windy ¥ Tribe will wind up on top of the heap when the smoke clears early n October. Only one team stands out in the younger circuit, and that is, as all fans know, the New York Yankees. But their greatness may bring on over-confidence and thereby cause their downfall.

Together with two of the league’s best hitters, Ducky Wucky Medwick and Johnny Mize, aided by Don Padgett and the newly-acquired Cardinal farm sensational slugger, Slaughters, it was expected that Dean would be the determining factor in the Redbirds’ chances for a come- back in the National League. But now he is gone—and so are these hopes. Owner Wrigley and Manager Charlie Grimm were extremely who promised to give all he’s got to the Cubs. President Sam Breadon of the Cardinals issued a statement in which he said that the deal was for the best interest of the St. Louis club.
