We can’t blame the Yanks and Bums for putting up quite a fight to win that seventh and deciding game of the world series. The winners get *9.768 each and the losers have to drag through the winter with only *5,598. That was quite a prise to be ‘battling through the seven days for. 0 0 Experts on fire prevention claim that thirty-three persons died every day from fires in the United States and that all of them could be prevented. We seem to be almost as careless about things at home as we are .On the highways. • 0 0-r-John L, Lewis has been through many tough battles in his long career as chief of the United .Mine Workers but probably none as serious as the battle he is now engaged in. Stricken with a heart attack a week ago he is battling for life. He> is a fighter and should win this one. 0 0 People who reside in Homewood and other parts of Decatur where there are dirt and cinder streets are citizens the same as you and me. They pay the same tax rate. The city attorney, in defending the action of the board of works ia»,tentatively agreeing, subject to councilmanic special appropriation, to purchase of arr expensive automatic broom, waxed eloquent ou the side of the broom. He was most gracious with the spending of our money. He failed however to enlighten the council on the question of whether the purchase of such a broom from parking meter funds for use on all Decatur streets was legal; whether this board of works could encumber the incoming one on a long time contract and he failed in his explanation to advise the council what other disposition of parking meter funds was legal. We don’t believe there is a single member of this Council, as an individual who would make such an extravagant move with his own money.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN i IT WAS something of a relief ■ when Adam called up to her —an exact hour after Pinky had left — to ask when lunch would be? “Any time you get hungry. I’ll fix something,’” said Ann, her voice thin with her effort at control. “You mind if I run in to talk to Hermann instead, and go on to the barber’s? I’ll get a sandwich in town.” “Go ahead,” said Ann. And see Pinky, too! her thoughts added. Shell be waiting. She'll tell you an earful. Ann would have the other earful ready when Adam came home again. One of her plans was to force a showdown with him. She was well on her way to the proper mood for it. Before his car door slammed, and the engine started, she had picked up the ashtray which Pinky had used, and hurled it shattering into the deep fireplace. She only wished she'd thrown it at Adam’s head! She was angry, and the time had come for that man to know it. He wouldn't like a row—of course not! Men didn’t like scenes. They liked doing the things that brought on scenes, but they disliked women who called them to account. Well, what if they did? What if it was the worst possible thing Ann could do, to fly into a rage with Adam and break things? That young man needed to be told! And she’d tell him. She had meant to unpack dishes, wash them, put them in the kitchen cup, boards. Her trembling hands warned her that she was in no for the job; she’d better stow bedding and linen. So she went into th,e empty bedroom where those boxes had been placed, and ripped open the first of them. Her lips still moved with the speech she was planning to make to Adam. She carried an armful of towels to the bathroom. ’’Nobody,” she said aloud, “could expect me not to be angry, Adam Laird! I have every right and cause to resent the way you’ve behaved. I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t resent it. The very thought' that you would choose that bold, cheap woman—that red-headed tramp—ready to pick up any man in La Fonda’s dining room. She says she is! “And the bold way you’ve done, too! Right out in public. At the Lodge! You took her out to Mrs. Bohbrink’s—you park with her on ■vthe Square in your truck. The whole town knows she’s a tramp, and that you—” Ann thrust the last towel into, its place, turned.—There was a wide mirror across one end of the bathroom; the washbasin was set into a shelf bejow it, making a dressing table. Ann stood looking into the glass, t

i startled at the reflection it gave ; her ot a small brown-haired girl in a white blouse and denim skirt, with her fists clenched so that her arms were hard and corded, the young soft lips twisted in anger, the cheeks blotched with rage, and the eyes . . . Ann’s hand moved to her mouth, as if to smooth those ugly lines away, to straighten her lips free of contortion. — —- She walked toward the mirror, and leaned across the brown marble shelf. Her eyes were redrimmed. Why, if she sounded half as ugiy as she looked . . . She turned on the cold water, cupped some in her hand, and dashed it upon jier cheeks. To look as she’d dene in the mirror ... what would it get her? Pinky might be everything Ann knew her to be, but she always looked, to a man, at least, like baba rhum. Smooth, cool, exciting —not ugly. Never, never ugly'. Ann gulped and sniffled. She went out to the living room and collapsed on the couch. She sat there, staring at nothing. It was May, and except in winter the blazing white sunlight of this country could not enter this room. But it came close enough, at noon, for its reflection upon the ceiling to touch into brighter colors ' the bold design of the painting over the fireplace. The great triangular : blob of yellow glowed like a second sun, demanding Ann’s attention. I Site smoothed her hands down over her denim skirt Adam had behaved shabbily, i meanly. He had let his wife down. ■ But if Ann knew the man—and she did!—he had already told himself those truths. With a deep sigh, Ann got up from the couch, her hand automatically straightening the wool serape. She Went over lo the fire- ■ place, knelt and, with the little tied-broom she swept up every shred of glass, and dumped them, tinkling, into the ashhole. She stood erect, and rubbed her fingers through her hair, trying to remember ... She finally located the black pottery bowl which Adam had brought her a year ago. She turned it over to look with new interest at the name Juanita carved into its base. She set the bowl upon one of the jutting stones of the chimney, and stepped back. There: she stood, desolate, like a child lost. The task before her was so difficult! To make Adam fall out of love with Pinky, and in love with Ann! The. first seemed impossible; the second, even harder. He once had loved Ann. It might well be that no marriage stayed on the peaks of romance. But Ann’s marriage seemed to lie on the floor of Death Valley itself! Adam came home before dinner I tinlc, having, in truth, been with *

$lO Is Stolen From Local Confectionery Wertzberger's Confectionery on Monroe street was broken into and robbed of approximately $lO in change between 8:30 and 9:15 o'clock Thursday night. The entrance was made through the rear of the buildmg and only the eash register was bothered. Bud Wertzberger, one of the brother's who operate the business, left the building at about 8:30. and Dick, the other partner, returned at 9:15 to discovery the robbery. They reported that nothing eTse, including the safe was molested, and the money taken was the change kept on hand for the following morning s business. The identity of the thief is not known, but the city police will investigate thoroughly. The fact that nothing but the cash register was touched makes the case more puzzling. No cigarettes, gum or any of the other small articles laying on the counter were taken. Trade in a Good Town — Decatu)

Pinky; he had left her reluctantly. I And the first thing he asked Ann I was, "What happened to the big ashtray by-my chair?” Ann stood £o‘r a minute as if she had something to say, more than ' the reply she finally made. "I— i broke it. I'll get another one on Monday.” • * • That afternoon, byway of being "honest,” Adam had done the J tilings he’d mentioned to Ann. He’d talked to Hermann, and he’d gone to the barber’s. By then it was nearly two, so he went to La Fonda for lunch, and was not sur- I prised to have Pinky join him. She slid into the chair on the other side of the small table and ordered a chicken salad. The dining room | was packed, and so noisy that talk was impossible. The meal finished, they went out to the patio. 1 mky had brought bread out with her for the goldfish, and she made a charming picture seated on I the tiled edge of the round fountain. Sunlight sifting through a palm tree glinted upon her hair. In a woven chair close by, Adam sat smoking, watching her. She wore a full skirt of black and white print, a tight black sleeveless blouse. Her bright hair was twisted into a smooth knot Finished with the fish, she played with a huge black handkerchief. She seemed to be waiting for Adam to say something • which he did not say, and finally she turned to look at him, purpose in her ; face. "Why do we sit here?” she i demanded, "and waste time?” "I like it here. Don’t you?" "It’s a beautiful day.” “Wonderful.” "It would be very nice out at . Bishop's lodge—and there’ll be a moon tonight . . ." “Be one here, too, I’ll bet.” "I’d like to see what that place • Is likedn the spring.” Pinky’s eycs widened in question. “It’s pretty, I’ll bet- Into the mountains that way, with the aspens and all.” “Or we could drive up to Taos again. Remember, when we did go, we said we'd come back,” her mouth drew down comically, "and look at the museum.’’ Adam laughed, and recrossed his legs. "Remember that attractive motel up there?” She was demanding a forward move in their Relationship, a definition of that relationship. And he wanted everything she offered. He wanted to go back to [ the Lodge-with her, or to drive up to Taos. But, just the same— ’ ‘ Pinky turned, and dribbled the corner of the black handkerchief across the water; a goldfish rose nibbling, and she laughed. Then she glanced at Adam. “Ann,” she j said softly, “knows about us, Adam.” (To Be CoulMttedJ 4
