The decks were so packed with her fellow refugees. that it- was best to play some game which did not entail running about. Petron- ella blessed the young officer who had lent them this apparently in- te tionally popular game. He one of the first people she had seen wher they came aboard, and was an old friend She had once danced with him, aboard another ship. in Alexandria.

At one period the good-natured British sailors had thought it expedient to line: rail, to preyent those who had everything, and, therefore. little reason to cling to life. allowing themselves to be un- ed. back with the seas w broke over the decs But that had been their zero hour. when they had run straight out of Valencia into high seas. Most people had been horribly sick. Gradually. patient kindli- ness, and amazing organization had succeeded. Desperation had given Place to resignation. Those who. like Petronella, were god sailors, had all been a little ry for the past two days. But despite the discomforts. she and the younger people had managed to enjoy their rescue. “We may not have much to offer you to eat, but: there’s always lenty of this in the British Navy.” jeutenant Jim Blake had rallied them, as he gave yet another cock tail party in his now commandeer- ed cabin. . But there was little comfort one could offer to these silent mem and women on-deck, who sat, huddled. looking at the coast of the country they had left PLAN BILLS TO RECEIVE REVENUE RACE TRACK OPERA- TIONS JACK: (FNS). cial race val and troduced as soon 2% Fla., April 6 providing for spe- islation in Du- ‘counties will be in- the 1939 Legislature he-opening flurry of organizatiom, subsides, according to an ann ment by, F.

Rosita now played snakes and ladders with a small, dark-eyed boy, quar- reling shrilly, and appealing to the grown ups, who would not listen. Blake searched. the coastline with his binoculars. Petronella said, “I can see the white houses.” But he knew what it was Mrs. Lance wanted ae and his cheerful, red face assu an exp! i of anxious sym- pathy and false optimism. ell be along, Petrel. Don’t you worry. But what did you have | to go and marry a fellow who un- dertakes jobs like that for, eh? Plenty of others to choose from, and you had to pick him!” he smiled at,her. There was admira- tion in his eyes. Joy “] DON’T know, Jim. Of course, the navy wasn’t in port at the time!” But she laug! incredu- lously. She had not had a bath for four days. She -had slept-in her clothes. The mirror in her handbag had been trodden on and broken, and her powder compact rolled overboard, between the rails. by little .Rosita.. Yet Jim Blake was still prepared to tell her that she looked. attractive. Either he must be extremely chivalrous, or most uncritical. “But as a.matter of fact, he was neither. Standing beside this taut, slender girl, he decided that love improved some women, lighting their eyes and. enhancing their expression. He was hoping very sincerely that everything would be all right. for this new Petron- ella. She.asked faintly, “We’re nearly past now, aren’t we?” “Getting on.” he admitted. Petre] turned: her .head away, so that he should not see her face pucker. “I don’t think he'll be coming now. Perhaps he will send me a radiogram, later,” she spoke, to spare him the trouble of trying to reassure her. Nothing he could say could lessen her suspense. = But he seized her arm. “Listen, etrel!” She swung abruptly round. “I hear it, too!” He pointed. “By jove, he’s done it. He’s com- ing out from Ferrol. Look, against the land there. Now, catching the sun!” “I see! Oh, Tony, Tony!” she was laughing, crying, both. One hand gripped Jim Blake’s, thé other the rail. He, in his heart, -was praying that they had not made a mistake. They saw the plane make straight towards them from the coast. It was a-small.machine, It looked as if Petrel was right. It was travel- ing fast. 4 “I don’t suppose she carries wire- less. No loving.message this time,” Jim told her. He was glad, because she was glad. “I don’t need any other mes- sage.” A shriek went up from the decks, Were they to be attacked, even at sea? The plane was nearly overhead. With a roar of engine, it swooped low over the bridge, and the decks in a gay salute. Petronella could see Tony’s head and shoulders plainly. He waved from the cock- it. He was hatless. She waved ack. wildly excited. Rosita, who had rushed and clung to her knees, blinked and waved. and squeaked. Rising again, before the British Navy had had time to hoist a sig- nal of remonstrance at dangerous flying, the plane turned and head- ed northwards. Petrel followed it with Jim Blake's glasses, till Tony’s head became indistinct. “He .will be home. before me,” she sighed. lowering.-them, and gazing after him in deep satisfac- tion. will he stay “But how. lon; here?” She smiled, without turn- ing her eyes from Tony’s plane. “That is. something you don't have to ask, if you're married to trouble.” (Copyright. 1939.

Baseball was played in Key West before any other city =| Florida and we can prove this statement with facts. The game was played here as far back as 1880 and during the years from 1898 to 1914, paid players of the National and American Leagues, came here to spend their win-, ters and play ball. We have § stacked up against Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Giants, Brook- lyn Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds and other major league and minor } league clubs. ‘ Defeated The Best Key West can win and lose; ‘with any team in Florida and! ‘there is no better way to prove, this than.to contract a series of games. The records will prove |that the Conchs have defeated} teverything on the East ‘Coast, from Vero Beach to Key West, , and on the West Coast from Tam- }pa to this city.
