THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7 ——. He ROAD TO of YESTERDAY: After a. series of hair-raising adventures, lovely Lynn Britton has been rescued from a Chinese revolution by Temu Darin, from whom she was fleeing when she got herself ‘nto danger. Temu is taking her to o marriage with the Prince of Shani Lun; unfortunately for everybody Peggy Telford, a friend of Lynn's from America ts also along and a little bit in everybody’s hair as well. But Temu’s plane is tost, and *0w there is firing in the village, Chapter 24 Street Fight AWN had broken on a clear day. The street contained a few late stragglers running _to- wards the gate. One ragged Chi- nese mother on crippled feet Tushed up to Lynn, thrust her tiny baby into the girl’s arms, and scuttled off with two bricks in her hands to join the fight. Lynn took the infant inside and laid it on the blankets on the kang. It was a plump, rosy- cheeked little thing not old enough to be as grimy as two elder children that followed her, each dressed in a single garment, a wadded jacket, their bodies from the waist down incredibly | chapped and filthy. “Look after them,” Lynn di-| rected Peggy blithely and hurried | out again. She saw a tall ladder leading to! @ parapet on the top of the wall near the gate they had entered the night before. On the parapet, bricks and boulders were stacked to ward off an attack on the gate. Lynn climbed for the view, and looking down on the outside, spied something she had not ex- Pected to see. A party of the enemy with sword and pick and crowbar were busy digging a hole in the mud- brick wall while the attention of the villagers was drawn to the| farther gate. Lynn called for help, | and reaching for a stack of bricks, began hurling them down on the men. Their officer, who was appar- ently preparing a charge of ex- Plosive for blasting, lifted a rifle and shot at her. Lynn dodged back but kept on with her offen- sive. She could cause some trouble to the party because they | , 1940 HAN LUN fee Hanson While Lynn changed to fresh garments, Temu and Chan sought the baby’s mother among the in- habitants who were already evacuating the village. They could find no woman who had mislaid a baby. Bula returned with them. Not content, it seemed, with seeing the enemy retreat, he alone had chased them into the canyon and secured certain information for emu. “Just a line on the insurrec- tionists,” evasively answered Temu to Lynn’s inquiry. After a hasty breakfast they began their trek with the last of the villagers along the northern trail. Somewhere Chan, the re- sourceful, secured a_ shoulder yoke, and swinging their luggage, started off on his tireless, cheer- ful trot. Bula carried the rifles and am munition slung across his back and a mammoth sword he had taken from one of the enemy dead. Unused to being afoot, he walked awkwardly in huge Mon- gol boots. There was no one with whom to leave the baby. Temu, carrying the infant, amused Lynn inor- dinately. “It’s like seeing an eagle turned into a nursemaid,” she chuckled. “Eagles have babies,” he re- minded her. Peggy, mincing along on ex- |tremely high heels and using her red parasol as a cane caught his ree arm. “You'll have two to car- ry pretty soon,” she predicted. “My feet are beginning to hurt al- ready.” He looked down anxiously at her thin, expensive slippers, and when they caught up with an old man and his young wife trundling along, all their worldly goods piled high on a wheelbarrow, Temu asked if they had an extra jpair of shoes to sell. “He seems determined not to carry me,” Peggy told the world at large. “You wouldn't feel very com- | fortable flung across my shoulder, which is the only way I carry a damsel when she’s reached your age,” he assured her, handing the baby to Lynn while he examined a peculiar pair of Greeklike bus- | kins occasionally seen in western China. Peggy put them on and Lynn laughed, were working directly below her stand. Temu, returning from the scene of action at the farther gate, | stared at her incredulously for a moment and then bounded up the ladder and glanced over the wall. At sight of him the leader sud- denly became galvanized. He shouted and aimed his rifle as if shooting to kill. At the officer’s shout the other men had dropped their tools and caught up their weapons. The bullets came fast and furious. Temu ducked and pulled>Lynn down. “They recognized you! They’re after you!” she exclaimed. “Looks like it,” he admitted. | “You know there’s been a fabu-| lous reward offered for me dead or alive,’ “But, how could anyone know you are here?” He shrugged. “How does the| bee find honey? How does the thief find money? The fools! They’re just wasting ammunition now! If I could get that officer! There may be papers on him. I'd like to Know who's back of this! You stay down!” She heard an exchange of shots and in a moment Temu was lean- ing over the parapet. The men had scattered beyond range and were dropping into the canyon below, their comrades repulsed at the gates accompanying them. Lynn rose and stood beside Temu. It was then she felt the wetness of her garments on her shoulder. Her eyes widened and she reached back. Temu put two hands on her wrist, and drawing her to him, looked over her shoulder. “You've been shot!” New Problem ‘EMU, in one swift movement, stripped off her Mongol coat. “T ditin’t feel it,” she marvelled, going rather white from mental shocks As she sank idown on a pile of'brick, he unlooped the two buttons at the neck of her dress and looked at the wound. “Just a scratch,” he said with relief, and placing a clean, folded hand! ief over the spot, he helped her down the ladder. The moment they stepped inside the inn door, Temu directed Chan to a hot water and the first-aid it. “Oh, this terrible country!” Peggy groaned when he ex- plained what had happened. “Will she die?” ‘ Lynn laughed. “Try to kill me.” Temu placed a three-legged stool for Lynn before the window from which he punched the paper cov- ering. The baby, she noticed, lay peacefully asleep on the kang. “Where are the other two chil- dren?” she asked. “Thank heaven, peared,” Peggy answered. “What do you think you're going to do with this baby?” “Baby?” queried Temu absent- ly, taping a dressing on Lynn's) white shoulder. { “As if we didn’t have enough trouble already Lynn went out and brought in a baby!” Peggy cried bitterly. Temu straightened and looked towards the ig as Lynn ex- peed about the whimpering in- ant. ‘ “I only hope,” he said in a troubled voice, “that its mother eturns Some of the Chi- ese women lost their lives. They \vught Like tigresses.” UNHAPPY ENDING | they disap- a LONDON.—After a courtship of seventeen years and an en- “Looks as though you're weare ling sugar-cured hams, If Sam could see you now!” “I wish to goodness I were with Sam!” wailed Peggy. |. “Then this little adventure has jdone some good,” smiled Temu. | “It’s reconciled you to your hus- | band.” | “He wouldn’t be walking me | along the edge of the jumping-off | place in shoes full of fleas while he carried a fat, Chinese baby |that belonged to Lynn,” she re- torted. ; Temu grinned but said nothing. No Sale SS by an. idea, Lynn turned sharply and put the |baby in the little wife’s arms. “You wantee baby?” she asked. “Can have.” And she made signs | that they could keep the child. The young woman looked at the jinfant, shook her head, and she jand her husband both broke into |an excited clatter. Laughingly, Temu took back | the child. “They are expecting a |son_of their ow! , |. “Well,” Lynn sighed. “It was a | good idea while it lasted. They were the first Chinese family I ever saw without any children.” “Why didn’t you put it in her arms and run?” Peggy demanded. “That's the way you got it.” Their queer procession started on its way again, Chan leading, jand the one-eared Mongol on his tender feet, with their ball-and- jchain gait, bringing up the rear. Temu urged them along as fast as he could, asking each group of refugees they passed if the baby he carried belonged to them. Finally a woman informed him that she knew the child; that his mother was among the dead of the assaulted village. No, she did not want-the infant at any price. There were times when silver was worthless. Though he was a boy, why not lay him down by the | roadside as if he were a girl and let nature take its course? There was no way to feed such a tiny baby without its mother. Lynn overcame that difficulty temporarily by dissolving lump sugar in sun-warmed water and giving it to the infant with a spoon. The trail soon left the top of the ridge and wandered down into a canyon beside a tumbling river, only to climb out again to a wide tableland. They approached a high-walled farmstead, which at a distance in the clear, exhilarating sunlight, looked as romantic as a medieval castle. But when they gained ad- mittance to the compound it ex- jhibited the usual, dull misery of toil-driven people. The farmers intended to stay to the death rather than flee before the scourge of revolution. A young matron of the family nursed, with her baby girl, the hungry mite Temu had carried all morning. This family was glad to keep the child since he was a hoy. Temu added silver to the Bu “At least, we’ve given him a continuation of life,” sighed Lynn. They were sitting outside in the shade of the farmstead wall, eat- ing the remains of the food in the lunch_basket, and giving Peggy = Bula a chance to rest their feet. The farmer possessed not even one beast of burden that they could ag Sd commandeer. W. Clark married the girl of his dreams. They had only six months of married happiness, however, before the wife desert- BOMBERS RALLIED . TO DOWN STATION TEAM LAST NIGHT SHOVED NAVSTA INTO CEL- LAR; SOLDIERS: DEFEATED CAMPERS IN OPENER. 15 TO 10 Bombers rose up to within one game of the leading Pepper’s Plumbers by defeating the Nav- Sta, 15-6, last night in the second contest of a softball doublehead- er at Bayview Park. The loss shoved the Station employes in to the cellar of the Civilian League. NavSta jumped into“he lead in the very first inning, scoring four runs to the Bombers’ one. How- ever, the “cradle” club of the Key West Amateur Softball As- sociation sent over another run- ner in the second inning and four more in the fourth to knot the count as the Station boys regis- tered lone markers in each the third and fourth innings. Then came the deluge. Lino Castro, on the mound for the losers, weakened enough to |send seven men to first on walks, forcing in one of the runs. Com- bined with several hits and er- rors, the youngsters totalled eight runs and sewed up the ball game. Dewitt Roberts pitched good ball for the victors, holding the NavStas to single runs after the first inning and blanking them from the fourth frame on. Kelly, Allshouse and Jones of the losers poled two hits apiece, as did Cordova and Alonso of the victors. J. Albury and C. Albury of the Bombers, and Delaney, Allshouse and Hernandez of the NavSta were the stars afield. Castro allowed nine hits and 14 runs, walking 10 batters, in the six innings he was on the mound. Cheta Baker finished the game. Results: R..E Bombers _. 110 408 1—15 10 3 NavSta __. 401100 0-6 10 3 D. Roberts and Menendez; L ;Castrq Baker and Allshouse. SOLDIERS BLASTED CCC’S IN TWENTY-HIT SLUGFEST US. Army trained their “Big Berthas” on the CCC’s last night | in the opener of the twin bill and scored 15 direct hits to 10 for the Campers. Soldiers staged one of the big- gest hitting sprees since the new season got under way. In all they blasted out 20 safe hits, in- cluding three homers and two triples. Wylie, Duggar and home-town boy Nelson were authors of the circuit clouts. George Nodine, peppy stop of the Army ten, just back from a New York trip, poled two safeties and played a great game: afield. Coleman, White. Nelson and Duggar led. the Doughboys’ at- tack with three hits apiece. Mun- roe, on the mound for the victors, hit two into safe territory. Pardo, CCC catcher, was the heavy slugger for the Campers, poling three out of four. “Doc- tor’ Schultz hit safely in his only trip to the plate. Knight, ex-captain of the Army | club; made a_ sensational catch! of a fly ball hit into foul terri- tory*in back of first. With his eye on the ball, he made a ter- rific dash in his successful at- tempt and barely missed “piling up” with the fans sitting along the foul line. Schultz, Pardo and Fred Ski- ner, Conservationists, and Cole- man, Rhoden and Nelson, Sol- diers, were also outstanding on the field. Results: R. H. E. 003 030 4—10 10 2 Army . 404 403 x—15 20 5 F.

Although the Plumbers will jnot be pushed out of first place ‘should they lose to the NayStas, nevertheless a loss will cut their lead to just a half-game over the other two clubs of the circuit. A victory for the Pipe-Fitters will give them a commanding lead of one-and-a-half-games in front of second-place Bombers. Another leadership battle is in store for two teams of the Serv- ive League in the opener tomor- row night. VP53’s, who have dropped their last two games, will take on the U.S. Marines. Devil Degs are only a half-game in the rear of the pace-setting Airmen and will stage a stiff bat- tle tomorrow night in an effort to wrest first-place from the Bombing Squadron. “Sa RS (Associated Press Feature Service) Georgia Tech was _ playing Howard College in Birmingham, in 1911. The field was short and there was not room to punt from behind the goal. Backed up against their goal, the Howard punter had a bright idea: he decided to borrow 10; yards from Tech, so he would have room to kick. The .Teeh captain consented, the referee ap- proved, thé ball was moved in 10 yards, and kicked out of danger. Then, later in the game, Tech came in possession of the ball on |Howard’s ll-yard line and de- manded immediate payment of the borrowed 10 yards. Howard didn’t want to pay off in paydirt lyardage, but Mister Referee said, yes. With one yard to go and four downs to make it, Tech; came through with a touchdown!
