traffic had stopped. once a bus whizzed by, once a moving van, speeding, swaying from side to side, ihat was all. He had the road to himself. He walked with his head down, his hands in his pockets. He really hadn’t much hope of coming back. Evvie had done her work well. u P° n a parked car in ;? e L dl , tch by the roadside suddenly. It had no lights. Surely it was deserted stopped there—alone, at that hour of the night. He looked in the window. Don t shoot—for God’s sake—don t shoot—here” a hand came out the window-—“take the whole works!” A watch and a wallet were laid in his hand, a head with tumbled hair and mild, inquisitive eyes, appeared in the window. Bill almost laughed. “My jail sentence must have made me look like a yegg or something!” he thought, and aloud he said, “What’s the big idea—l’m no holdup!”

Ji

Bill walked around aimlessly for a while.

“No?” the young man in the car looked at him with even greater interest. “Ja that case—” He put the wallet back in an inner pocket, struck a match and looked at the watch, “Three, o’clock. Heck of a time for a social call. Don’t happen to be a rescue crew, do you? Got a tow car?” Bill grinned. It wa» only a boy, and a befuddled boy, whose breath reeked of alcohol. “No, I’m no rescue crew,” he said, “but I suppose I might give you a hand. What’s wrong.” “Everything,” replied the stranded one. "Everything but gas. Got plenty of gas. Just thinkin’ of makin’ a bonfire of her. What do you say? Like the idea? Blow her up—get me?” Bill opened the door and came in. “Let’s have a look.” “Have a drink first. Share my last drink with you. That’s kind of a guy I am. Keyes is the name— Rollo Keyes. Heck of a name. Wished on me. Here—help yourself. Good stuff.” 9 “I’ll have a look at her first, thanks. French car! Don’t know much about this—” He began to “look her over” with real interest. Rolio Keyes blinked at him through his large, shell-rimmed glasses. “Have a good time,” he said hospitably. “Betcha you can’t <k> it!” And he had another little drink. When Bill asked him about the tools he was already asleep, breathing audibly, with his mouth open. Bill noticed his pale, thin hands, his hollow chest, his expensive English overcoat. “Somebody’s spoiled darling!” Bill had never handled a foreign made car before. A little gingerly he lifted the hood. “Can’t be much wrong,” he murmured. The en*ine was purring smoothly when he woke Rollo an hour later. “How much did we bet?” Rollo asked amiably. „ “A ride into town, I guess, Bill grinned. m , “Sure. Have a drink. Take you any place you say. Going your way. See—l’m gonna give you half my last drink . . . unless you’d rather have coffee . . . very good coffee in the thermos—” “I’ll take the coffee,” Bill agreed amiably. He unscrewed the top of the bottle, and drank the hot liquid gratefully. Rollo produced a pasteboard box of gingersnaps also, which they div !d«d carefully breaking thellast one in two. A feeling oi

warmth and well being stole over Bill. He had a cigarette, and felt almost happy. -• “Y’know—l like you,” Rollo said. He slapped Bill on the back. A sentimental tear coursed down his high-bridged nose. “That’s the kind of a fellow I am—true frien'. Now we’ll go home. Got ’nother case liquor home. No coffee for you nex' time—” Bill offered to drive, but Rollo wouldn’t hear of it. He drove expertly, with elaborate caution. At train crossings he got out and looked up and down the track. “Always look out for the cars,” he said thickly. Toward daylight Rollo’s hands relaxed. He brought the car to the side of the road. “Now you take ’et,” he murmured. “Hundred and fitiy-one Marina Drive . . . Pasadena , . . Pasadena, California, United States, America . . He pitched forward into Bill’s arms.

Bill took the wheel. He was very I tired, and he didn’t like the idea of taking the boy home. His people might think—might think anything. But what else could he do? He tried to think it all out, to plan the explanation he would make when they asked him who he was, and what he meant by driving their car, but he was so tired ... so tired . . and all he could think of was Joan, Joan with her fair hair blowing in the wind. A boy in a blue shirt waved from the roadside. The air was sweet with the smell of the wet, freshly turned earth. The warm fragrance of the roses some farmer’s wife had planted in a sturdy row near the beans. “I can't go back,” he cried miserably. “darn it—l can’t—” The car gathered speed. Rollo stirred uneasily. “Look out for the cars,” he said thickly, “drive carefully—” * * * Nobody asked any questions. They took it quite as a matter of course that a stranger should drive Rollo Keyes’ French car to the door, and lend a hand to carry him into the house. Bill had a contused impression of a large square hall hung with many pictures, of a thickly carpeted inr’T stairway, and another hall, and more etchings. » Roilo was holding tight to his arm. “Don’t go ’way—wait—wait —l’ll be aw’ ri’ in a minute—” “Will you wait, sir?” a man servant asked. Bill shrugged, looked down at his hands awkwardly. The man took his silence for assent, and tiptoed out of the room, closing the door behind him. Rollo lay like a log under the silk quilt on the bed. Bill went to the window, looked out on the lawn where two Airedales were playing, chasing each other, barking joyously. “I’m in a nice mess,” he muttered. He opened the door and looked up and down the hall. "Can't sneak out like a burglar!” There was nobody in sight, no sound in the house. “Wake up!” he cried savagely, and sthook the inert form under the quilt. Rollo only mumbled. Bill waited and tried again, without success He passed his hand wearily over his eyes. How tired he was. With a sudden weary gesture he flung him self full length on the bed beside Rollo. Just for a minute. Just for a minute ... to rest his eyes .. . (To Be Continued Tomorrow)

WETS RECEIVE MARGIN OF 286 VOTES TUESDAY (CONTINUED FROM PACE ONE) ment, which amendment repeals the 18th Amendment. They pledged themselves to vote for repeal when they filed as delegates. A majority of the delegate:; elected yesterday favor repeal and Indiana will be the tenth state to join (he list favoring i repeal of the 18th Amendment, | through ratification of the 21st I Amendment. Dragging along without much I interest and apparently without I any active organization to get out the vote, the result of the election waxed interest when the compiling of the vote started at the Daily Democrat office. The heavy dry vote from Berne reduced the lead of those favoring repeal and the race became nip and tuck. At one time the margin of the wets was less than 100. Berne gave a dry majority of 401), casting 576 against repeal and 167 favoring repeal. Geneva voted in favor of repeal by two votes. Decatur voted for repeal by a margin of 381 votes. North Preble at Top North Preble precinct lead all other precincts in giving the largest percentage of its vote to either cause. North Preble voted wet, 142 to 5, repeal receiving about !>6Vj percent of the vote cast. West Root precinct was the first to report last Jiight. Its vote i was 161 for repeal,' 53 against. I Seventeen precincts voted for re- I peal and 17 voted dry. AU of the returns were in be- ; fore 10 o’clock. They were cent- j I piled at the Daily Democrat office I and a special election edition was | published and mailed to rural i subscribers in the county. ILARGE CITIES LEAD STATE TO FAVOR REPEAL (CONTINUED FROM PACE ONE) 1 the legislature voted a ban on in- ' toxicating liquors. 12 to 1 Vanderburgh county led the repealists' victory march by piling up a majority of 12 to one. Lake county voted more than eight to one for repeal. The margin in La- 1 porte county was six to one; Vigo five to one; Allen five to one; St. Joseph more than three to one and Marion tlireq to one. These counties alone were allotted 120 of the 329 delegates. The repeal election law provided ' that each county should have one ' delegate plus one tor ouch 10,000 I population. Unusual significance hud been as- , taehed to the Indiana election be- I cause it was the first statd voting oh repeal in which the outcome was in doubt. Prohibition forces of the nation made their first serious campaign here. First Real Test The trend toward liberalism in ; Indiana had its inception a year ago when state conventions of both Republican and Democratic parties I adopted planks in favor of abolish- [ ing the drastic Wright law, state I liquor enforcement act. The law was wiped off the statute I hooks in March 1933 by the Demo- I cratic controlled legislature at the i instigation of Gov. Paul V. McNutt. A few days later the same legislature set up machinery to permit the sale of 3.2 per cent beer. Under the Wright law a person whose breath even smelled of liquor could be convicted on testimony

iof the arresting officer. The repeal ellection showed that I anti-prohibition sentiment had penetrated the rural communities but not enough to elect repeal candidates. It was the smaller counties which reduced the huge margin given repeal by urban centers, although the vote was often close. E. L. York, president of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, refused to concede defeat until figures proved conclusively that his side had lost. "We will renew our efforts to prevent the return of the saloon and avoid the evils of intoxicating liquor.” he said early today. “The result of this election does not mean that our cause is lost.” Governor Pleased Governor McNutt said he was greatly pleased with the 'ate. "it was a distinct indication that l Indiana lias chosen the new deal,” pie declared. “The people of Indiana demonstrated that they beI lieve they aro callable of governing themselves without the influence of the federal government.” Except in eases of local option, yesterday’s election was the first time Indiana citizens have had an opportunity to east a popular vote on prohibition. , 14!
