A drive for funds for the purchase of an electric score board for Worthman Field is underway. The board will record scores of baseball and football games and it long has been needed at the athletic field. We congratulate the local men who are spearheading the drive. Industry, merchants and individuals are contributing to the fund. ' o 0 vooa crowds are attending the annual Spring Festival tn Decatur this week. It always is a slow week for business, but those who favor the annual event, say that the retailers more than make up the loss in the weeks to follow. They also argue that those who spend money on the attractions " would go to some other town with their “carnival money" if Decatur stopped staging such an event. 0 0 Decatur Boy Scouts took part In the district Camporee at Bhifti'> ton last week-end. In the next few weeks, a good many of the local Scouts will take advantage of the summer camp at Big Island, Rome City. The local men who devote so much -of their time to Scouting deserve the commendation of the entire community. Very seldom do you ever hear of a boy who has had Scout training being in trouble. It’s worth the cost and effort —(i—o — The fight for leadership Th both mgjer baseball leagues is much more interesting f than the sports writers predicted prior, to the opening of the season..

CHAPTER 19 TIE next morning on the notice board outside the purser’s office there was a notice stating that there would be a fancy-dress dance that night, but that all the costumes were to be impromptu and there would be prizes for the most original. "Os course you’ll be coming to this gala dance, Vai," Dirk said enthusiastically over luncheon. "It should be grand fun. I’ve already decided on my costume and yours." Vai wanted to go very much. She was young and full of vitality, and though she knew she didn't dance very well, she loved it. Besides, it would be a change from reading to Mra. Featherstone. Her employer never appeared to take the slightest interest in what was being read to her; half the time she seemed to doze off, but whenever Vai thought her patient was asleep and stopped reading, Mrs. Featherstone would rouse herself find say sharply, “Go on reading, Nurse. What are you stopping for? Do you think I’m asleep? Or are you too lazy to read any more?” She would smile cruelly and add, “You’d like that, wouldn’t you, to leave asleep and slip up on deck and dance or make love with your various boy friends." “I’m sure Mrs. Featherstone won’t let me go. She’ll want me to read to her," Vai answered Dirk now. “Oh bosh, I’ll arrange it with Aunt May. She’s not a bad old stick at heart- She’ll know you and I want Jo have some fun.” But there was a faint note of doubt in his voice. He hadn’t been > finding Mrs. Feattßrstone so easy to get along with lately. “But I’ve no fancy costume," she ; protested. “And I’ve no idea how I could improvise one at the last i moment.” ’ ’TUfix you up," he said grip- ; ning. “You can wear tny tails.” 1 “Your tails f But Fd look awful 1 in a man’s full dress suit!” i “Don’t be silly, * he said crossly. 1 "Women have made theSr stag* i

reputations on the strength of having the figure to wear a man’s full dress evening suit. Few women have the figure to get away with it, but you have.” He grinned across at her admiringly. “Well, perhaps," she said slowly, and smiled. “I could try it on anyway," she conceded. He put one finger to the side of his nose and winked across at her. “Trust Uncle Dirk. He’ll arrange everything.” She glanced across at the tabic where Bruce was sitting. They hadn’t talked since last night on the top deck. He had seemed to avoid her, and the knowledge had hurt her. Was it solely because she had refused to break off her friendship with Dirk ? Vai had always been of an independent turn of mind and she didn’t like being dictated to. But now she wondered if Bruce had insisted just what she would have done. She might, yes she might have agreed to end her friendship with Dirk. On the boat deck when he had kissed her she had been almost ready to promise him anything. Almost . . . What had held her back? Was it a genuine feeling of friendship for Dirk, or her sense of gratitude to him for having been so nice to her? Was It also a sense of fair play? Or was it really that in her heart she didn’t want to lose his friendship bpcause it had become something very precious to her? Dirk was as good as his word. During the afternoon he told her that he had fixed it with Aunt May and he would send his steward to her cabin with his tails. When they arrived she tried them on at once, and after she had turned up the trouser* with pins, the suit fitted her perfectly. He had sent as well a fine linen pleated shirt, white waistcoat and white tie, and she supposed she could wear her own high-heeled patent leather shoes- On an impulse she went to the ship’s hairdressing saloon and had her already short hair cut shorter. She looked at herself in the mirror with both pleasure and surprise.

Mrs. Featherstone had consented i to her going to the dance, but certainty she was in none too good a mood about it Va! was also wor--1 ried that her patient didn't seem well, although the boat was quite steady now. She seemed rather short of breath and her face, usually (lushed, was now an unhealthy White color. "Please, Mrs. Featherstone, before I get dressed wouldn’t you idt me call in the doctor?” Vai ahked anxiously. i Put the mere suggestion agitated Mrs. Featherstone to such an extent that for the moment she was almost inarticulate. •‘Cal! in that man, my ex-gar-dener’s son, who hates me? What arc you thinking of, Nurse? But, of course," her lips turned to a half sneer, “you would want to call him in obviously. Don’t think I haven't heard of your goings-on with him—and with Dirk,” she added hoarsely. Vai didn’t reply to that She merely said, **l should feel so much happier if you would see Doctor Harridan, Mrs. Featherstone." Her patient half-raised herself on the bed. "I said Td never have the man in my cabin, and 1 won’t! rd rather die!" After a few moments she subsided onto the pillows and spoke more rationally. "You’d better go and start getting dressed for the dance tonight Dirk has told me he’s ordered champagne in here so thrr. 1 can have a drink with you before the festivities begin. And 1 do believe a few glasses of champagne will do me good. 1 haven’t been feeling at al! well lately, and I’m sure it’s my heart. But it won’t be long now before we’re on shore and then I shall feel much better. I understand Dirk’s friends in Montego Bay are really charming people and have a lovely house right on the water. I’m looking forward to it” She gave a short laugh and added vehemently, *Tta certainly looking forward to getting off this boat." As I am, Vai thought in her heart.
