‘The Story So Far: Juditn Good- loe, of an old Maryland family, marries self-made Reuben Oliver for his money—only to discover he is bankrupt. Twins are born. Then Reuben gets work ina lum- ber camp managed by Gary Brent —the man Judith loves. Judith’s tent is not ready when she arrives, and Gary provides her with @ cabin. When Reuben discovers this, the lid blows off. Trying to live by Judith’s codes has weak- ened Reuben. Now he will make his own laws. Hating Gary bit- terly, Reuben insists on renting the cabin, from him. Chapter 34 A Wholly Puzzting Stranger UDITH made no move to take the key to the cabin. Reuben said: “If I offended you last night, Judith, I'm sorry.” If he offended her—if—She said in grand imitation of Gran: “We were both dead tired.” And so as easily as that they put their quarre] behind them or rather they buried it between them in a shallow grave. Neither ex- pected it to stay buried. “Tll strap the bags,” Reuben told her. “You put the children in the car. Easier to get breakfast at the new place.” “What about these new cots?” arnerc BLANCHE / SMI FERGUSON vital spark of jealousy, which had smoked sullenly since the day he asked Judith to marry him. No. there could be no friendship now jor ever, and when work threw them together—? Unerringly Reuben knew that even the semblance of peace would vanish then. He was an expert forester—Gary a puppet in au- thority. Reuben knew that Gary was unfit for his job. Gary knew that Reuben knew it. but he also knew that necessity had. its iron heel on Reuben’s neck— With a frown Reuben dismissed all thought of Gary. Time enough to meet the trouble when he had to. There was no doubt in his mind that he would have to. efore he went back to the woods on Monday. Reuben had found and hired a Chinese boy.

He hated her all over again. “Do you think I'd accept such a loan?” “But it's not for rent.” He scowled: “I’m paying $50 a month for it.” A wall of ice reared itself be- tween them. “Can you afford it?” “LT can't.” She knew by all the rules of the game she should say: en we'll stay here.” But she didn't say it, She couldn't. The memory of the big inviting room. the easy chairs. fireplace, white bath was too allur- ing.

That part of her life was definitely be- hind her— Alf was already in possession of the cabin when real and coffee were in the making. A great bunch of bluebells—Para- dise flowers to Judith—were in the yellow bow! on the living room table. Judith had come home! Reuben on the other hand had come to a sort of mild inferno. He resented the grinning black bov's presence.

Ce-| ¢; itself between them, @s one watches a moving picture critical of its flaws and high spots though affected by neither. The change in him conveyed it- self to Judith. She had felt it since the moment he handed her the cab- in's key. His lips had apologized then for the quarrel of the night before but the old humility that had been his since the day he had moved her from the Waldorf to a cheaper hotel was missing. The doglike, unspoken plea for her be- lief and patience was missing too. Something had gone from Reu- ben — mysteriously gone forever. But something new had come to take its place, Judith sensed it without being able to define it. She had no way of knowing that out of the dark confusion of the night, a clarifying light had burst upon her husband, wining the blur from his vision. Giving him an al- most uncanny insight into affairs as they were. Giving him back a belief in his own sense of values aw by the ethics of his wife. Curiously Judith watched as one aches a suspicious, pin ly puzzling stranger and though she did not know it ‘“ a mew respect in her glance. Iron was visible in Reuben’s face now —Iron and what else?

Judy!” “Old days come again. Gary.” “Old days.” he echoed and knew he lied. These were not the old days of light banter and meaning- less, little caresses. These were new days of inarticulate tender- ness. Veiled glances. Long silences too magically sweet to be broken. Strange! In the old days Judith had ached to hear words. Hated the waiting. Now she fended to keep wi from being uttered. Loved the waiting. It was herself she feared now, not Gary.

Arrangements which are al- lready going forward to provide | facilities for staging the various fevents, call for the erection of covered circus seats around the present baseball diamond at the Navy Field Smith, who has had consider- able experience promoting and refereeing fights, appreciates that a poor or mediocre boxing card would be an imposition on both local fight fans as well as visitors, and be decidedly detrimental to the sport here and prove a black eye to the city. “The bouts will be held under the auspices of one of the Veter- an's organizations”, Smith stated, ‘and I may sask)the’City Council to appoint me chairman of a box- ing commission for the duration of the celebration so that I ean guarantee the fans that they'll get what they pay for—or the fight- ers won't get paid for what they ffer. If necessary I'll even ref- eree, too” Sport lovers agree with Smith that an off-color boxing program during the celebration is the last thing to be desired. “A shockin’ band New York at St. Louis, rain.

These fights will be for the bene- fot of the Key West Fire Depart- ment. The main event will bring together Battling Geech, of ' Charleston, S. C., 142 pounds, and ‘Leroy Samber, of Marathon, Fla., 139 pounds. This fight will be one of the best staged here this year. Geech has been fighting all along the Atlantic seaboard for the last three years and has a very good record. Sambers is well-known to the fight fans of this city. He has fought here on a number of occasions and has always made a _ good These boys can be seen in train- ing every evening at the arena from 5 to 6 p.m. The supporting card will be: Semi-final, Iron Baby’s Son, from the Trevor and Morris Garage, 140 pounds, and Kid Roberts, weighing 138 pounds | (this Roberts boy is a dark horse and will surprise fans—on the, last card he did not show up to ; fight because he was not in shape ‘and did not want to make a bad | showing but is sure he is in shape for this fight); first preliminary, | bringing together two well-known bantamweights, Cuban Kico and Kid Edwards (Kico is from the local Navy Yard); second prelim- linary, Kid Buster vs. K.

Some of the old Miami | players and friends of Key West !are active on the Miami National Guard nine. Two of them are Christie and Covington. Hialeah has the best club in the circuit, i according to critics. Homestead ‘has Barrow as shortstop and !manager, and Booker, who has !also played here. We would like to find out how strong they are This can be done by playirlg a {game with each club. . .The St. Augustine’s entry in the Florida | State League has taken a slump ‘after leading since the opening !game. They need Bill Cates up ithere, as they have tried a half {dozen players at third and none seem to fit the position. Their ‘leading hitter is Retenski. with ,an average of 380. He plays at | short. tero is next with .356, | Playing first base. League-lead- er is Bray, of Gainesville, with -394. There are at least a dozen . players from Tampa in this cir- cuit at present. Onis, property of the Dodgers and last year with Ft. Worth, Texas League, is with Leesburg. Fans remember when he played here with the Tampa All-Stars. Contreras, another catcher who played here, is also} in Florida State League, as is Baby La Paz, Shiro, Mikey Her- nandez, Robertson and many oth- ers. . Detroit Tiger manager de- nies he will again get behind the | bat. Mickey will manage from the bench, he claims. Cochrane also says that York is his prob- lem, for he does not know where to play him. The Tiger pilot says 5 he is going to keep Tebbets be- hind the plate. His pitchers are Kennedy, Poffenberger, Auker, Gill, Coffman, Bridges and Howe They will get going real soon and then the Tigers will be up: there Mickey claims. DIAMONDBALL— The writer noticed the other night at the game at Bayview Park that the Lopez Embaimers were superior to the other clubs in the league, which makes us want to suggest that, if it were possible, a club could be formed of players of the old Busy Bee outfit, Among them are Manolo. Armando and Al. Acevedo, Pena Barcelo, Peter Castro, Rober’ Bethel, Ward, Puby Carbonell and e few others. We believe jotepest will again be .at the diamondball games if this showing. | THE WEATHER ecccesee Temperaiure” Highest at Lowest Mean Normal Mean Rainfall* Yesterday's Precipitation Normal Precipitation Tomorrow's Almanac ix reco ending af § ¢ Sun rises Sun sets Moon rises Moon sets Full moon, 14th Tomorrow s Tides ALM.

Women recognize themselves as equals in every re- spect with men.” Dr. Hites asked students of his mixed class how many children they would like to have. average desired three.
