That enthusi- asm demonstrates Key Westers’ devotion to their city. It is a magnificent spirit of Conchs for Conchs, and it has been that way ever since Key West has been Key West.

Large crowds always greet! Key West players when they engage in contests here with out-of-town teams. But many Key Westers are enthusiastic also about major league baseball games, particularly when they are! played in the World Series. Most of us forget that those} games are essentially commercial. profits, and players frequently bicker about the amount of their salaries. We know a few Key Westers whose interest in major-league baseball was killed 30 years or so ago when the Chicago White Sox, some of them with big payoffs from gamblers, “threw” their World Series games to the Brooklyn Dodgers. Those crooked White Sox players had heard volumes of applause from hundreds of thousand! of fans all season, but what did they care for the fans or Owners’ concern is their applause when they were bought off to lose?

By CHARLES MERCER BOSTON #—New England, eld-' est of the nation’s regional econ- jomic children, confronts the visitor’ today with a strange mixture of myth and fact. The biggest myth, readily ac- Jcepted in most sections of the country, is that New England is slipping economicaliy. The fact is that employment fs at an all-time high, with 3,500,000 New Englanders at work on non- farm jobs—a record surpassing We ran into an old friend the other day who wanted the World War I peak by nearly to borrow ten dollars. Unfortunately, some readers skip over the editorials in favor of the gossip columns. It is getting so now that a man finds it very hard to) find the time to keep up with his work.

Jeff nodded. “Well finish what Shorty and me started. You boys gather all the young stuff you can | this morning and we'll drive them down the valley this afternoon. I've got to report Shorty’s death and see if Cooper has hired any more hands. I'll be back as soon as I can make it.” He rode rapidly to the ranch house. Supposing that Diana was called “You on the front gallery, he went into the house through the kitchen. He opened the front door and stopped abruptly. Diana was seated in the hammock and be- side her and with an arm about her shoulders sat a man, He said, “Excuse me,” and they turned and aed at him. The man was Walt irk. Diana squirmed from Kirk’s grasp and sprang from the ham- mock. “Why, Jeff! You startled me. I thought you were up at the other end of the valley.” “Yet, I guess you did.” Walt Kirk got up, frowning. “Whadda you want, Payne?” = Jeff looked him over coldly. “Nothing from you, Kirk. My re- port is for Mrs. Denton.” Diana came towards him, con- cern in her eyes. “What is it, Jeff? Something must have happened to bring you in.” The fact that he had caught her with Kirk’s arm about her did not seem to disturb her. He reported tersely. “Shag Do- Jan and his bunch struck last night and got off with a lot of young stuff we'd corralled. Shorty McCabe was killed.” Her face hardened. “You let them get away with my cattle?” She eyed him steadily and there was no warmth in the corn- flower-blue eyes. “It was a mis- take to bunch those cattle.” “That idea was approved by you Mrs. Denton. I'm sorry I've been such a disappointment to you; you can have my resignation if you want it.” He was hurt and he was angry. She studied him for a moment, frowning slightly, then said, “Come into the office; I must talk to you about this” She turned to Kirk. “You'll excuse us, won't you, Walt?” There was a smug, satisfied ex- pression on Walt’s face. He bowed Pa stery, “Go right ahead, Diana.” Her sharpness towards Jeff had undoubtedly pleased him. Jeff followed Diana into the house, closing the door behind them. She put a hand on his arm and spoke in a low voice, “I'm so sorry, Jeff. I didn’t mean that ou hadn’t done your duty. You ave, excellently. Please don't leave me; I need you now more than ever.” The hardness of feature was gone; she was pleading with him. “That act you put on out there was for Walt'’s benefit then. Why?” “Jeff, don’t you understand? We need his friendship so badly. We can't let him turn on us.” “And to keep him in line you m think you were mad with that.
