SYNOPSIS Ted Wynne leaves his position in the steel mil! at Bellport to work his way through college. He loves Barb Roth, daughter of wealth, and realizes he could never ask her to marry a mill hand. At Old Dominion, Ted shows promise as a football player. Tom Stone, star player and one of Bellport’s elite, is antagonistic towards him. When Ted is forced to give up football because it conflicts with his job, Barney Mack, the coach, gets him a position that will not interfere. Ted passes his examinations with honors and wins the respect of his classmates. He goes home for a visit. To infuriate Ted, Barb encourages Tom and attends the New Year's Eve party with him. Ted goes with Janet, Barb’s friend, and during a mock wedding, Janet kisses him ardently. During vacation Ted labors in the mill to earn his tuition and get in condition for the fall football season. CHAPTER VI No swimming that afternoon j Ted lay in a hammock and sipped I lemonade. “Your eyes are sunk back in your i head,” his mother said. “You had better be careful.” "I’m al) fight, Mother.” While drowsing, he heard his j father say: “I never thought he could do it j in this weather.” “When Ted makes up his mind ; he sticks to a thing,” his mother ! answered. They were proud of i him, Ted was a bit proud of himself; he was giving it a battle—the hardest he had ever fought for anything in his life. Make them respect you, Barney said. It was an effort to paddle the canoe that evening. After a few strokes his head would drop on the paddle as he lifted it. He was back home and in bed at eight o’clock No use It wasn’t worth it. He : couldn't stick it out day after day; no sense in punishing himself like tha' His father wouldn’t say anything; he would tell his mother. i But when she came in to say I good night he couldn’t tell her. In 1 the morning, when she called him, i he’d tell her, then go back to sleep; i she would understand. But in the morning, when she | called him, he got up. ate break- , fast and went to work. Hotter than ever; the sky was angry red in the east, that meant old Mr. Sun was firing up. “Never expected to see you out today,” Big Fritz greeted him. "And that's the only reason I'm out. Let's go!” Even Big Fritz seemed a bit ragged; some men couldn’t sleep in such weather. Ted had slept like four sailors; but his muscles ached every time he moved. Philosophers argued about whether the mind could watch itself work; it proved something or other which he had known on an examination morning but didn't «eem so important here; but Ted analyzed himself; watched himself tick. Body inordinately tired — that was why he had fallen asleep while i paddling: tired body was a drag I on bis mind; mental fatigue inI duced fear and despair. If he could stick it out until his body got in shape his mental problem would I disappear; and if he could keep his ' mind ofl his body, how could the | latter attack and depress him? That was not only logic but common sense Football; go over Harney's strategy; go over the plavs; make up teams from the men in the mill—what a plunging fullback Big Fritz would make! | Use him on 32 when you needed 5 two yards at the goal line Stick it

I Cochran damage was set al $2 JXIO,i DOO. Nine residents of Edwards, totally wiped out, saved themselves by immersion in Salmonberry creek for four hours as the fire passed over them. Fred Burk, one cf those who faced death at Edwards, and agent for the Westwood Lumber Co., reported that approximately 300,000,000 feet cf standing timber had been destroyed already in the coast range fire. Throughout western Oregon so many forest fires sprang up and | traveled with incredible swiftness into untouched forests that men could not be employed in sufficient numbers to combat them.

out here and what shape for football—they could hit you all day and bounce off without hurting; if your body was in shape for football the pressure on your mind would be reduced—and a quarterback had to think, above all. He was the foreman. Yeh—that's all right; but how much of this can a fellow stand? Remember the one who wanted to finish out the turn and who dropped with only three more pieces to go? He stayed until they carried him out —but he died that night. Ted remembered him in the hospital; they had stripped him and laid him on tile operating tabic and poured cold water out of a hose on him—and all that time you could see his heart pumping so hard it almost lifted the skin. Like a mouse trying to get out from under a carpet. Bad stuff to think about, sap. Getting ready to quit, ch? Dying gamely. Licking yourself. Maybe that was the difference between courage and cowardice. ■ Maybe one is as scared as the other but the guy with guts won’t quit; and outlasts the other fellow by one gut; one punch; one play. Easy to talk. Think about something else. What does Rig Fritz think about? Money and his woman; didn’t drink but had it salted away in a farm; when the mill shut down he lived the life of Riley down there and didn't give a damn What does Snibs think about? Liquor and cards and women and the side of a river bank. What does Charlie think about? Liquor and women; mostly women. They said Charlie was quite a man—everybody knew about eveiybody else in a mill. Petey: Liquor, payday and his bottle; and he was gone until the wlvsky was gone—and his job was i always waiting because no sane man could stand it for more than a few days Life was funny. It scared Ted when he thought of those things; but he didn't think of them long. Poor guys Why blame them fur wiiat they did? What kind cd a break had they got? Mentally starved, immature Bodies used like a lot of cattle. Why didn't the Steel Corporation use some of its profits to do a little something for their minds—give them something more to think about than women and liquor and cards? And a bellyache! They might pick him up and carry him to the hospital and pour cold water on him and watch his heart try to leap out like a mouse from under a carpet. Let them —he wouldn’t know anything about it He was a fool for letting himself in for this; but he was in; and as long as he could stand on two legs he would stick. Petey and Snibs and these booze hounds had come through it; they were all cowards in away; they all had weaknesses. Barb—a cool, velvet hand upon hot thoughts. Maybe he was only one of her mob. one of her court. But she was everything this place was not —soft, fragrant, delicate, sweet, beautiful—something to live for, something to achieve. He might he running to the country club with her now, as Stone was; playing golf. Sipping highballs, wearing flannels.

shot down without the car slacken- ' ing speed. Picketing had been engaged in this section of Minnesota despite the orders from leaders. However, sentiment in the dis- 1 trict was largely favorable to the ' farm strike and authorities were at; 1 a loss as to who might be to blame ' for the fatal reprisal. Farmers in this territory have been among the most enthusiastic backers of the "strike" movement in the state. The death of Peterson was the first fatality of lhe strike. Riots and violence were frequent in the first days of the strike in lowa hut no serious casualties occurred. — o LAWYERS FILE SUIT FOR FEES CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ment of fees for their services and in the event of a judgment were to receive a per cent of the-judgment l It was explained further that ordinarily attorneys receive as fee forty percent whe na case is ‘taken on such basis.

like those that bioke in white fury off the blisters on the fiery ice in the burning lake. Barb was like the milt—tough to lick, but if you did you had something done. A sudden rush of blood to hit head. “What’s the matter?” "Nothing, Fritz.” Big Fritz looked at him queerly Fight it off; don't get scared; bear down, will . . . It’s fright that panics them . . . Fight to live, Barney said. Heat out . . . Under the bridge and get a little shade . . . Where did that breeze come from? Rain! From nowhere, as ballooned Arabs swept on a desert, flapping clouds gathered and threw down torrents. Jovial workers stood in it; held out their hands to catch it, opened their shirts to let it lave their sweaty, hairy breasts, chattering in childish delight, waving their sweat caps to the clouds, saluting the rain. “Rain dobje; too much garouche no good.” Ted let it pour over him; smiled contentedly, no rain like this rain; no contentment like this—he had earned it. Children of the earth; God made it hard sometimes; but He gave you a break if you stuck around long enough; if He respected you. The quality of mercy was not strained, after all; it falleth as the gentle rain from heaven. You didn’t know the half of it, Bill old boy! Ted had a laugh that annoyed people, particularly girls. Sometimes he was laughing at himself, but they did not know that. It ruffled Rosalie early and she told him; “I like the Irish until I’m with one of you; then your conceit makes me hate all of you.” They had been talking philosophy. Neither had more than peered at the surface of the bottomless well but they thought they had. Rosalie was the first girl to challenge his opinion on such weighty matters and Ted considered the situation divertingly amusing. He had referred to “Plato who taught Aristotle who taught Socrates who taught the world.” “That’s the tipoff on how much you know,” she retored. “Socrates preceded Aristotle.” Ted made the mistake of trying to bluff it through; she dug into her textbook vigorously and pioved her point. He laughed—and she exploded: “Get out of here and don't come back I never want to see you again.” Rosalie was the picture of a gorgeous storm; lightning flashed from eyes that were wet blue clouds; startling with the wild beauty an artist achieves with a few quick, daring strokes—slanting eyes, curved mouth, tumbled hair. Ted gazed wide-eyed with surprised admiration. She turned quickly and left the room Not knowing what to do he sat in the window and decided to wait until his cigar burned down before leaving. Rosalie was a new kind ol girl; he had never seen one like that. Women, to Ted. were soft, amiable, pretty beings; he liked to be with them: dance with them, talk to them; joke with them—kid them along. Some he liked to kiss. He never quarreled with a girl; if thev didn’t seem to hit it off, he Just didn’t eall anymore Rosalie was a good scout; he hadn’t meant to hurt her; he couldn t understand why she flew off like that.

SYNOPSIS | Toung and ambitious Ted Wynne realizes he cannot ask the wealthy Barb Roth to marry a mill hand, so he leaves his position in the Bellport steel mill and works lais way through Old Dominion college. He shows promise in football, and Batney Mack, the coach, takes an interest in him. Tom Stone, star player and Ted’s rival for Barb's affections, is antagonistic towards him. Ted, however, is admired by the other students. During vacation he toils in the mill to earn his tuition and prepare for the fall football season. Rosalie Downs, of a neighboring College, discusses philosophy with Ted. She is furious when he laughs at her and calls him conceited. CHAPTER VII The cigar had almost burned to the end. Ted suddenly felt like a fool. He might as well leave. But the door opened and Rosalie came back. She approached him doubtfully, eyes troubled and contrite. led walked to meet her; she smiled quickly and rushed into his arms. He held her close for awhile. "I'm sorry, kid,” he whispered into her hair. She smiled radiantly, led him by the hand to the piano, played for him. Rosalie was talented. “Sorry,” Barb said over the phone. "I'm driving with Tom to Pittsburgh for a ball game." "You're breaking a date,” he reminded her, i “This is something special. Can't you come any other evening i —how about Monday?” 1 ‘Tin working and need my sleep. Sunday's the only morning I can sleep in.” < "I’m sorry, Ted." i “If you break this date it'll be the last one.” “Well—if you want to be that way, all right.” “Goodby.” i “Goodby.” Barb slapped the phone down and bit her lip. He had a nerve; i who was he to talk to her like that? She should give up a trip to Pittsburgh to spend an evening 1 hearing him talk about himself. i But she felt a little guilty, a little ' sorry He was a nice boy, if you 1 handled him right, and he certainly ! treated her the way she wanted a < boy to treat her—Ted was safe as > a brother; not too exciting or too serious; but better that way than the other. Still, it had to come. Barb was young, entirely too young to think seriously about anybody or to give all of her time to one boy. Maybe ; she could like Ted better than : the rest; perhaps she did, but it ' would be a mistake to ever let him ' suspect it. : And he’d come back; he always I did. ' Throb! Throb! Throb! Strum!

It was understood that Carol would not allow the 10 year old boy to return to England, because Michael first learned cf his father’s love

move with the poetry of motion. Ted hadn't come back; he had gone to the telephone many times, convinced himself that he had been wrong; but he hadn’t called For the time being he was blocking cars; it wasn't a hot job and he didn't need sleep; and he had asked Rosalie to the Tennis Club dance. Ted was proud of Rosalie; she was a gypsy, exotic. It was a pretty dress although Ted never got more than a general impression of a girl's outfit. “She's following you with her eyes.” Girls were funny. Rosalie and Da: b didn't like each other ; they had gone to Academy together; Rosalie had skipped a class or Barb had been held back — anyhow Rosalie had gone off to college She and her mother had just enough to get by Her mother was society editor of the News Rosalie sang as they danced: "Take some honev from the bee Mix it up with TNT And what've you got? Magnolia—” Rosalie could sing the blue songs and make you feel things; she was a dancing fool—and pretty. Stone was looking her over Stone wanted to cut in on every new girl, as if he were appointed to take them over when they reached a certain stage. Barb floated by, always greatly interested in the boy sh: was with; when it was Stone, dancing slowly and bending over her like a gigolo, Ted burned up Why didn’t Barb and Rosalie like each other? They were both good kids although different, of course Yon never knew what Barb was thinking but Rosalie came right out with it; she was more like a fellow. And she could dance; she was warm—got a kick out of it. L>ancing with Rosalie was a compelling thing - it took your body and your mind and then it made you feel something too Barb was smooth and airy —a -well dancer and you couldn't lose her. except on a reverse now and then, but Barb didn't pour herself

into it; Barb was holding something back — Ted always got the impression of an invisible hand between them, holding him back; Barb’s hand; and ner face with its curious, taunting, inviting smile. Going by now, saying: 1 can get yon whenever I want you. Yeah? It was time to do something about Barb; make her see that neither her money nor her position meant a thing to him. She was a fine girl and all that; maybe too good for him; but Ted wasn’t quite so certain about that my more. There was an aristocracy of brains as well as money; it you had the brains you could make the money; then you'd have both. He'd seen enough of Barb to know he couldn't come to her unless he was her social equal; that would take time. In the meantime he might as well show her that he wasn't a poodle dog to be whistled at Barb didn't like Rosalie, Rosalie was a good scout; maybe it would burn up Barb “it he kept busting around with Rosalie But Rosalie left town with her mother during August, off to a Lake Erie resort. Ted got lonesome over the week ends and fought continually against the temptation of the telephone. A broken date wasn't so much, after all, and she had always been on the level with him He dreamt of her, saw her face in the furnace flies—a shining vision m pastel shades But it wasn't just a broken date —it was something deeper; and Ted hung on. Through long evenings of sitting on the porch swing, or in the town park, or talking to Big Red at the city jail or chatting with the boys at the pool room, he battled for his principle. She had said he couldn't beat her at anything; that was no frame of mind for a prospective bride. : bhe'd base to respect him before | she could like him. and she couldn't ■ respect him if he surrendered.
