Her own patience was ‘wearing rather thin. She had had a restless night, and Julie’s con-| stant solicitude had a wearing ef- fect on her nerves, even so early in the morning. She was in no mood to placate Brett Rodman. “Do you feel better this morn- ig?” he inquired, as she emerged ‘om the kitchen quarters a’ a late and hasty cup of coffee. “Tf you mean to suggest that _ My hysterics last night were due only to «my. imagination,” Eve rs haughtily, “you're mistaken. did feel a cold, clammy hand. al I'm all right—due, doubtless, 0 your bright smile.” Brett lashes at her in, aston- ishment. “I don’t mean to play the ogre,” he apologized, “but I was rather worried about you last night. You shouldn’t go pry- ing into places all alone. ‘ait and call some of the men.” “I did call you,” Eve explained. “Did you?” His evident delight was incomprehensible to Eve: “Of course,” she said impatient- ly. “I was fairly sure you had that watch, But last night isn’t what matters.” + “No?” said Brett. And then, ir- relevantly: “You have a smudge on your nose.” Eve stamped her foot. “That's what you think about, when you should be worrying about our lives—not my appearance!

We're more concerned with getting off the island. Aren’t we?” His tone was a challenge to Brett. But, to Eve’s surprise, Brett instantly agreed. “You're right, Bowron. I gather that you want to make a definite attempt to get away from here. What do you advise?” Eve looked from one to the other, unable to decide whether they were merely using her as an audience, or were actu: ing t .

But at the | moment, I think it more politic to_retreat—and come back with reinforcements.” “Gina, you amaze me,” Eve con- fessed. “Every time I see you, you remind me of an angel strayed out of a heavenly orbit. And yet, you're the most coldly practical person I know.” “Self-defense,” said Gina enig. yeh Be protects the or working girl, but no on - tects her more expend aM We must learn to 3 ourselves, And at the Gina’s voice Tose, joyous! “that's what I’m seine ‘ome on, | Eve, hurry—we'll go down and get a lunch box ready for the working men.” Ship Of Mystery GAStan JONES was furious. + He paced the narrow deck of his boat impatiently and wheeled on his mate with an ugly look. “Listen here, Feldston,” he snapped, “I don’t want to dump a ‘hot’ cargo in daylight—and you know it. Why don’t you arrange things better with that stooge of yours on the island? Did he take a run-out on you? Or didn’t you pay off on thé Jast trip?” Feldston's flat Slavic face did | not seem to move a muscle, yet his expression was definitely ini- micable as he said shortly: “I always pay off—as you should know. And no one has ever given me the double-cross. May I remind you that if you sail the boat according to orders, I am re- ‘sponsible for the cargo.” ‘fm remembering that,” said al 9 Johns, his ruddy face set in lines that had not been graved by the sea. “And I'm also remem- bering that on the last trip we lost both anchors and dam near | |New York .. drifted ashore. We got clear of the rocks by a miracle, and if it hadn’t been ‘so misty we would never have got away from the island without a little session with the Coastguard.” Feldston looked out toward the windswept point that was marked “Heart’s Haven” on his map. On other maps, as he was well aware, this pin-point was often over- | looked. Then he glanced at his captain, and decided that the time had come for diplomacy. He sighed, Running a cargo of stolen furs was easy enough, if he didn’t Have to deal with such a squeam- ish lot... . _ “Listen, Johns,” he said cajol- ingly, “would you like to make a little bonus? Say—five hundred dollars? If luck is with us, we can round the point and be at the boathouse before dark. Last time, it took us three nights to go to shore and then get back without the guard watching. But if we just put in there, in daylight, we might get away with it. Anyway, we've got supplies—we could say we were stopping for the old wo- | man's sake... . Captain Johns - have | much time to prote: were approaching the po: they would have to take the ¢ nel toward the island or head for the | harbor. As Feldston spoke, the captain | h be r knew, althougl protested, that there was little chance for a sea- faring man to défy the man in | charge of the cargo. He had sub- | mitted to this indignity many | times before; now—as they ap- proached their port—was not the time to argue. “All right,” he agreed, but with obvious reluctance. “We'll put into the boathouse as we round the end of the island. But I'm putting it down on the record that I oppose stopping, even in the face of the wind, at any other than our home port. Understand? Or do I have to say it again?” Feldston felt a mighty urge to charge the solid captain, and then thought better of it. After all, he might later have no need of Captain Johns and in that case a battle would not matter, But on the other hand, he might need Johns badly, and it would be more than tactless to antagonize, him. And finally, with the icky few hours that were ahead of him hol aor of sibilities, he eae tie little loyalty he could have. “Okay,” Feldston said, sighing with relief.

Bill Nicholson of the Chicago Cubs. sporting an insignificant .256, leads the National loop in runs batted in—and RBI is the payoff symbol on a hitter’s value. It shows the ability to bang one when it counts. The same situation exists in the American league. Char- lie Keller of the Yankees, with an apparently puny average in the .270’s, is pac- ing the circuit in RBI. Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox is setting a furious batting pace, with an aver- age; over .400 but he hasn't driven in as many runs as Keller. A number of players who habitually author season batting averages under the select .300 line are actually of more offensive value to their teams than the lads with impressive .330 marks. Take the case of Cecil Tra- vis of the Senators and Dolph Camilli of the Dodgers. Both have been in the majors eight years, Travis has a lifetime batting average of .322 while Camilli’s is only 285. Yet Dolph has knock- ed in 660 runs to Travis’ 480. He has hit 171 home runs to Cecil’s 18 and 65 triples to the Washington infielder’s 54. He won’t get as many hits as Travis but he hits a longer ball and connects more often when there are ducks on the pond.

Play began at 8:30 that competition will be quite | stiff with the A. & A. boys fight- ‘ing to capture first place by de- |feating Thurston Timekeepers. Strike after strike and spare after spare were chalked up for the teams as play in the first games progressed.

Two new reserves joined each team in the second serap. Shel- don of the AA’s was top scorer with 150, and Moore of the Tim- ers ran second with 149. The second game also went to the Ac- countants and Administrators, 658 to 647. Ordinarily in a contest of this type, the team or individual winning two straight contests automatically wins honors ~ for the night’s play but im this in- stance the Timekeepers asked for 1a third round and their request ‘was granted. They “turned on the heat” and came back to gain sweet revenge by defeating the 2A’s, 714 to 593. High average honors for the three games went to Hunt of the AA’s with 416 pins, while Shel- don, Tilton, Gwynnand Moore tied for second, 403 pins. | Lineups for the games were: A.&A.—Hunt, Sheldon, Gwynn | (captain), Korach, McCrea, Giles and Reeves. | Timekeepers—Mansfield (cap- tain), Tilton, Scarborough, Jones, Adams, Perez and Moore.
