PAGE FOUR: ~ Chapter 3 EAN reached Grand Central Terminal nearly ten hours later than she had planned. Exhausted by yesterday’s train wreck and a sleepless night aboard the antiquated coach that brought her from Mohawk Cen- ‘*ter, she dragged her feet along the, platform, struggling wearily with a pair of overloaded suit- cases. “Manhattan, city: of my dreams!” she thought sardoni- cally. “And I slink into it like a galley slave who’s ten -years past the retirement ages’ A taxi sped her down Fifth Avenue past the bering height of the Empire State Building—a silvered monolith in the morning sunlight. When she reached the women’s hotel on East 30th “Street where she had reserved a room, she flung her hat on the bed, longing to fling herself right after it, Jean reached the, offices of Transamerican News, a_ block from Times Square, at one min- ute to nine. Howard Arter, the department editor who was Jean’s_ boss, walked around his desk to meet her, greeting her warmly but with a certain professional re- serve, “You know,” he said. “I’ll be glad to have you working for us, but there’s a story I ought to tell you. ¥ found out about your stories from Harry Hawkins, our Broadway columnist. His mother used to live near Midwest, and he always looked over the Star- Journal for items that might in- terest her. He thought a lot of your work and told me about it —that’s how I came to write you originally. I just wanted to let you know I agreed with him.” “I’m glad your tastes coin- cided,” Jean said. “And I'll be eternally grateful to you both. I’ve longed for this chance, and Ti do my best to justify your raise.” : Arter looked at her intently for a moment. “Say, you look rather tired!” he said, with evident concern. “Did you have any difficulty on your train trip from Ohio?” —. FORECAST a a ee MANHATTAN EDITOR | | —" Supplies Make Fowl a By Gene Gleason “I was on the Gotham Limited when it hit a truck. I stopped to write a story and missed the train that replaced it.” “At Mohawk Center?” Arter asked. She nodded. Then he re- marked. “But there’s nothing out of there until midnight —and that’s a‘ milk train, I think.” “It rode like one,” Jean. said. “But I was going to ask if you]: got my story on the wreck.” “Not that I know of,” said Arter, looking _ puzzled. “Our story was filed from Albany, but the other syndicates beat us badly. When did you send yours?” “I gave it to the telegraph op- erator at Mohawk Center at 5 p.m.,” she said, more puzzled than her_boss, “Then we'll try to find out what happened to it,” he said. He picked up one of the three tele- phones on his desk. “Give me Bill Bedford in Western Union,” he told the operator. He added, in an aside to Jean, “He_ should know if it reached the Western Union branch in our office here.” “Say, Bill,’ he said into the phone a moment later. “This is Arter. What record do you have of a news wire from Mohawk Center, New York? It was filed about five yesterday afternoon.” HILE Bedford checked the wire records, Arter offered Jean a cigarette and commegted: “You can’t have had much sleep on that rattler; I’ve ridden it—always with regret. As soon as we get this wire matter straightened out, I think you ought to quit for the day and catch up on your sleep. I’m fairly confident the TN budget. will withstand the shock.” He broke off the conversation as Bedford spoke at the other end of the line: “Yes? You received the wire all right? Fine; I'll pick. up the copy later. When was it timed off? Oh, 5:30 p.m. All right, Bill; many thanks. We'll check it at this end of the office.” “That puts it right into the. lap of Charley Dawson,” Arter said, chiefly to himself, as he dialed a number. When the call went through, he said: “Oh, Charley. This is Howard. I'm trying to find out about a} wire that came in on that train| ee a ee THE KEY WEST CITIZEN _ wreck yesterday afternoon.. Did you happen to see it?” Jean watched Arter’s face as he listened to what was evidently a detailed explanation of the reasons why Dawson had not seen the wire. But she could de- tect nothing in his face that in- dicated he was satisfied with what he heard, .“I think you’d better come in a little early this afternoon, Charley,” he said finally with a casualness that carried an under- tone of command. “Maybe we could check this a bit more.” That was all Jean heard before be dismissed her cordially, tell- ing her to return tomorrow morning. Jean had hardly reached the office the next day when she met two copy girls in the ladies room discussing the missing wire. Neither of them knew her by sight, so she said nothing as she touched up her makeup and listened, “Yeah, honey,” the younger of the two told her friend, and bent over to straighten her bobby- sox. “When the boss found out that Dawson had been away from the desk for two hours after Saunders’ wire came in, he was boiling. But not showing it, see— not Arter.” “Well, come on, Silly! Stop jiving—what happened to the wire?” the second girl asked impatiently. “Aw, relax! Well, Dawson fi- nally had to come clean and ad- mit he tossed the wire in the wastebasket. I guess he figured he’d look bad if he used it two hours late.” “What kept him away from the desk so long?” ; “I dunno, honey. But some of the guys say he goes out to some gambling joint.” She gave a little whistle. “Boy, what a bawling-out Arter handed him. He didn’t shout or anything—but you could : just see him sizzling.” “How'd Dawson take it?” “He was a little lamb till the boss left; then he went just wild, raving about women reporters. I'd sure hate to be in that Saun-. ders gal’s shoes; Dawson is just poison when he gets a pet hate— and she’s number one on his list now.” ¥ (To be continued) FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28; 194%" a me nn, Movies At USO 2 Auxiliary Will Give ‘Hard Times | Party Tonight The American Legion Aux-| iiary will give a “Hard Times Party” tonight in the clubhouse on Stock Island.

A fowl of 5 or 6 pounds provides meat ! enough for a good-size family. with | leftovers for later meals. . Then, too, chicken is a good source of high-quality protein and is a food that nearly everybody likes. One of the best ways to cook ma- ! ture fowl is by the simple old-fash- *ioned stewing method. This process ! provides the long, slow cooking, | with liquid, which makes the meat deliciously tender and moist. And | with skillful seasoning, the chicken develops the finest of flavor. Fowl can be cooked more rapidly by steaming in a pressure cooker. Stewed chicken is the basis of many top favorites, such as chicken ! pie, chicken and dumplings, chick- en fricassee, and the like. In these { dishes, stewed fowl is ideal because both the meat and broth are used. Stewed fowl is excellent, too, for making all those popular chicken dishes of which neither family nor guest ever seems to tire: chicken salad, creamed chicken for patties, chicken a la _ king, croquettes, loaves, casseroles, scalloped dishes, etc. The flavorful, tender meat of stewed chicken is the bulwark of all these good dishes. Of course the broth or stock from stewed chicken has excellent favor and can be used in making superb sauces, gravies, and soups, . STEWED CHICKEN | | Fowl] can be stewed either whole | or cut up in pieces. It should be covered with hot water, then the seasonings added (2 teaspoons salt, 1 sliced carrot, 1 sliced onion, 1 sliced stalk celery and leaves, 1 whole clove, 3 peppercorns or % teaspoon pepper). If desired, only salt may be used as seasoning. Cov- er the kettle and simmer (don't boil) for 3 to 4 hours, or until ten- er. If the chicken {fs not to be used immediately, it is extremely im- portant to cool the chicken and | stock and get them into the refrig- erator as rapidly as possible. To speed this cooling, remove the bird from the stock as soon as it is ten- Takes Control Of ~ Woolen Industry Lawyer and Judge been dipped in the boiling stoék bé+ fore the chicken is handled. Place’ the bird on a clean plate and cover loosely with waxed paper. Cool to practically lukewarm, then refrig- erate promptly. In the ¢ase of the stock, set the kettle of stock in the sink with a stream of cold water playing around it or in a bowl of cold or ice water until the stock is lukewarm. Then place in the refrig- erator at once. If you wish very moist meat, the poultry may be re- placed in the stock, after both are cooled, and ready to put in refgig- erator.
