Baseball teams are starting their spring drills and in a little more than a month the major league seasons will be on their way. It's the surest sign, of spring we know. » -fr- -o ■' i o Days a* getting longer in the evenings and in the morning by seven o flock, there is a trace of dayUght—and that's a fact no matter what time the Legislature say it is. < o— > lie yellow-liners, menace to Jife motoring public, those delivery truck drivers who believe they have a law of their own, will continue to laugh at the statutes and enforcement officials as long as they go un-arrested.

So far as we have been able to fin dout, the school board has done nothing. This failure to act may be because the matter has not officially come to their attention.

We can't help but remember that Carl Mullins, president of the state labor federation loudly endorsed the present G. O. P. leadership last October. When will people ever begin to know the difference between a campaign promise and what is good for the public.

World Day of Prayer win be observed in Decatur at Bethany Evangelical United Brethren church next Friday night at 7:30 o’clock with an appropriate service and with members of the Council of Church Women as sponsors of the event. Hie committee composed of Mrs. Vincent Mrs. Woodson Ogg and Mrs. Benj. G. Thomas has arranged three meetings. Two children's services will be held, one at the Baptist church tor Lincoln school pupils with Mrs.. Ray J. Walther in charge and one at the First Missionary church for pupils of the Northwest school with Mrs. Gerald Gerig in charge. There will be a series of observances through the day to close Friday night with the public service. Theme for this year is “Who Shall Separate Us?" o -o- - A city ordinance is needed to clarify the duty of the owner of a dog and the city police in dealing with roaming dogs. At present the police here* have no authority to deal with the annual spring roving of canines, much to the dismay of city gardeners and others who take pride in their lawns. It is suspected that many of the dogs roving the streets are owned, but do not wear dog tags. There is no city dog catcher or dog pound here in which to keep dogs until their owners call for them. In Bluffton, a city ordinance authorizes their city police to shoot any roaming dog which cannot be caught. Since dogs are personal property of the owner, they should be treated as such. No automobile owner, would leave his car in a neight&V garageno dog owner should allow his dog to roam bis neighbor’s yard and garden. An onffhance requiring dogs to be kept at home would protect the property of others. To be effective, the ordinance must give the police specific powers to handle dogs that are causing damage to the property of others.

SYNOPSIS Lieutenant Chad Endicott, a Civil War veteran, is irked when he is ordered from St- Louis to establish an Army Post in hostile Dakota Territory. For he must leave his fiancee, Elisabeth Tipton. daughter of General Tipton. and postpone their marriage for at least a year. At a farewell party in hie honor. Chad warns Alvin Stiner, a wealthy trader and his rival for Elizabeth, to respect their engagement or he will kill him when he returns , CHAPTER 2 'T'HE DINNER was everything 1 General Tipton could have desired. It was even more to Chad. Candlelight ori the stiver, sparkling wine, the browned chicken, the glass epergne with its fruit in the center of the table: all of it added up to an intangible something that Chad could cherish in memory through the hard months that lay ahead. Tomorrow would be another story. Chad ate slowly, glancing often at Elizabeth, who sat beside him. From time to time, she reached down to adjust her napkin so thatAheir hands might touch moJft«#rily. My!ra Grunwald continually ’.threw the conversation toward Stiner, questioning him about his plans for extending his trade in the direction of Montana. She was plain to read, too plain, and Chad wondered what had gone on between them. She was about thirty-five, Chad thought, very close to Stiner’s age. There were traces of an earlier beauty about her which showed through the worn veneer of heavy social life that Army society had fastened upon her. She was known as a flirt and an incurable gossip. Major Grunwald was chubby and red-faced. Now he sat before his dinper, studying it with obvious relish, making no secret of his love for food and drink. General Tipton watched, amused. He had been in the Army many years and had known many Myras. He did not condone her conduct: he merely understood it Grunwald was an excellent supply officer, steady and reliable, if somewhat unimaginative. Suddenly Myra turned to Chad. "Isn’t your new post to be on the Yellowstone?” » He shook ' his head. "On the Missouri, just below its junction with the Yellowstone. Not far from Fort Blaine.” Grunwald looked up from his third platefuh “Randall know just where yet?” © WM, Bouregy 4 Curt Inc.. p

0 —0 Modern Etiquette | BY ROBERTA LEE 8- 0 Q. My teen-aged daughter never comes right into the house after returning from a date, but sits out in the car talking with her boy friend. Afraid of gossip, I have asked her not to do this. Am I right? • A. Although I dislike criticizing the younger generation, 1 do agree with you. Your daughter should bid the young man goodnight and promptly go into her house. Q. When a college man invites some of his fellow students to spend a weekend in his home, is he supposed to pay their train fare? A. Certainly not, whether the guests be men or women. Q. At the end of a dancing course in a studio, is one supposed to tip the instructor? A. This is not necessary. The instructor is paid a salary for teaching you. Blossom Festival BENTON HARBOR, Mich. — (W — Southwestern Michigan's famed Blossom Festival will be held a week later than usual next year. Festival officials have set May 5-11, 1957, as date for the colorful event. ,'i.

“He’ll determine the site when we get up there,” Chad answered. ‘1 understand we’ll locate somewhere near the confluence of the two rivers.” "Hope it’s a good one,” the major grunted. "Right smack i» the heart of the Sioux buffalo country." "But they’ve had a fort up there for years, dear,” Myra said. "Fort Blaine’s a trading post,” Stiner said. "The Indians never bothered it But an Army postwell, it won’t be so popular. Chad said nothing. Stiner was right about an Army post not being popular with the Sioux. The northern plains tribes had been relatively quiet during the war, but now with the westward tide of emigrants threatening to overrun the land, there would be resistance. And the Army would be hard pressed to meet it “You won’t go up there until this is settled, will you, Alvin?" Myra asked. There was a moment of tension. Her tone had shown too much concern for a man who should mean nothing to her, but Major Grunwald was engrossed in lighting a twisted black cheroot and his scowl was directed only atthfe cardie which flickered out as he breathed too heavily during the operation. You fool, Chad thought. You know and you’re ignoring it. You’ll take half a woman and be satisfied because you’re afraid you’ll lose the half that still belongs to you. "I have no immediate plans for going up the river,” Stiner said. "I’ll wait for the Army to kill off the Sioux.” His fury touched into flame again by Grunwald’s studied indifference, Chad said, “There is away to handle it if the Army fails, Myra. He can sell the Indians whisky and they can kill each other off. That would do the job and pay a profit to boot” Stiner put his hands bn the table; his eyes, hard and brittle, came to Chad’s face. General Tipton cleared his throat noisily. “If you gentlemen would care to join me, we’ll have some liquor.” Elizabeth and Myra rose, excused themselves, and retired to the parlor, Elizabeth turning her head to throw an annoyed glance at Chad. "Here, Chad,” General Tipton I said, "pass the cigars around publishers of the new novel. Distributee

while I get the liquor glasses down." When the general had served the liquor, he raised his glass, glancing first at Stiner, then at Chad. He said, "Here’s to the , new post, wherever it may be." "To the new post,” the others echoed, and drank. Tipton cleared his throat, hesitated, and then said, “Colonel Randall is a better man than many I could name.” "Yes, sir,” Chad said. ‘l’m sure of that.” He understood the remark. Randall had no reputation for leadership and his chief failing was his weakness for drink; his greatest strength stemmed from his beautiful Spanish wife, Isabella. The colonel would do, Chad thought, it nothing unusual confronted them militarily. “You will go directly from Jefferson barracks to Fort Blaine?" Stiner asked. Chad nodded. "We’ll travel up the Missouri on the Molly McClain. The colonel will watch for the location he wants.” "You'll be on the river about two months," Stiner said. “About that, they tell me," Chad agreed. The talk lagged, and presently the general said, "Shall we join the ladles’" They filed into the parlor, Chad and Stiner dropping into plush chairs on either side of Elizabeth. Grunwald pulled an enormous gold watch from his pocket and studied it solemnly. He lifted his gaze to Myra. "My dear, I have to be at the office early in the morning. I think we had better run along." “All right, Otto, if you feel we must” Then, suddenly, as if she had thought of it quite by chance, Myra turned to Stiner. "Well be glad to drop you off at your rooms, Alvin. We’re going right by them, you know.” “That’s very kind of you.” Stiner rose, obviously annoyed. Chad thought savagely, Why doesn’t that stupid Grunwald tell Stiner where he can gos But Grunwald made no objection, a fixed smile clinging to his lips, his heavy face almost pathetic. After the Grunwalds and Stiner had left, the general yawned and winked" at Chad. "The old man’s beginning to feel his years. Good night, Chad.” i”Good night, general,” Chad said.

CHAPTER 3 IV7HEN General Tipton had W g on e, Chad moved to the lettee where Elizabeth was sitting. He dropped down beside her and she moved close to him, her ahn through his. "Darling,” she; said, '1 want to go with you. Mrs. Randall is going. There isn’t any reason why X can't." "We’ve been over all that, Lib honey,” be said, using his pet name for her. „ "1 wouldn’t mind roughing it. Us 'Army brats’ are pretty hardy creatures, you know.” “That isn’t the point. We’re going into a country that’s crawling with hostiles and we’ll have to hack out a place for ourselves and try to exist I think Randall is out of his head to let his wife go” “From what I hear, he didn’t have milch to say about it” “But she is his wife.” Chad mentally cursed the Army, cursed the decision he had made after Appomattox to stay In the Army and make it a career. All he wanted now was to be a free man. "I’ll miss you so, Chad,” she whispered. “I feel married, even ♦ If it isn’t true. I’ll worry about you every minute you’re gone." He rose and drew her to her feet He had to go; he had many things to do before the Molly McClain left in the morning. Time had run out. ... “I know," he* whispered. "I know, my darling." They walked to the hall, their arms around each other. Then they left the house and moved along the walk to his horse. She would not let him see her cry. He understood that and he loved her all the more for it. She was strong, and she wanted him to feel that strength. He kissed her fiercely and she responded, clasping the back of his head, running her fingers through his hair, caressing him. It was all wrong, all wrong, for © 19u6.

| them to be forced apart this way. i He almost pushed her from him He clasped his hat on his head, and catching the reins, pulled himself into the saddle. “Goodbye, darling. I’ll be back.” “Goodbye, love. I’ll be here.” Chad dug his heels Into the mare’s ribs and the startled animal leaped out, sweeping him down the street, hoofs beating into the mud. He turned: he had one last look at her standing there, her white gown silhouetted against the dark background of the yard. It came to him that he should feel sorry for Alvin Stiner, who had nothing but the clandestine love of a woman like Myra Grunwald. No, love wasn’t the word. Not for Myra. Love was for Elizabeth. • • • Myra, as Stiner had known when they'd left the Tipton house, had no intention of taking him to his rooms. He lived seven blocks from the Grunwald place, so he was not surprised when Myra said in, her sudden way, "Why don’t you come home with us and have a drink, Alvin? It’s quite early.” “Yes,’ why don’t you?” the major added, "I’d like to,” Stiner said, "but you have to be at the office early. I don’t want to keep you Up.” The major laughed. Stiner often wondered about that laugh. Grunwald found humor where no one else would. Now he said, “Don’t worry about that, Alvin. I’ll go to bed and leave Myra to entertain you. You’ll forgive me, won’t you?” “Os course,” Stiner said. Perhaps Grunwald used his laugh to cover his feelings. Most men were an open book to Stiner. Chad Endicott was typical, for his age and position at least. Brave to the point of foolishness, ambitious, so much in love that everything else in his life was thrown out of proper proportion. Genera) Tipton was equally typical. Old Army. Honor was a fetish with him. Most men were like that, filling one pigeonhole or another tn Stiner’s system of mental tiabulafion. But Grunwald didn’t fit any of the pigeonholes. He Ignored the obvious too often; he fell too easily irfto the traps Myra set. If he were a dull-witted man, he would be understandable, but Stiner knew from the business dealings he'd had with Grunwald that the man was keen enough. publisher* of th* «« novel. Distributee <l,

So, because the major was an enigmato him, Stiner was never entirely at ease when he faced a situation like this. The carriage stopped in frdnt of the Grunwald house. The major said, "1 think you can keep out of the mud if you jump, Myra.” Stiner got out and helped Myra down. They moved along the walk together while the carriage rattled on around the corner to the alley. When they stepped into the dark hall, she said, “Wait v here, Alvin. I’ll light a lamp.” He remained in the hall, and presently a match flared into flame and Myra lighted the hobnail lamp on the mahogany center table. She called over her shoulder, ’Take off your hat and coat, Alvin. I’ll stir up the fire.” She knelt beside the fireplace and threw more fuel on the Are, and when she rose, Stiner was standing beside her. She breathed, "Alvin," and moved into his arms. She kissed him, but Elizabeth was a strong shape in his mind, and he was still annoyed because Myra had taken him from the Tipton house before he had been ready to leave.. She drew back, her eyes searching his face. She said, “You’re cold tonight, Alvin,” and left the joom. Many times he had wished he were rid of Myra, but he couldn’t afford to let her go. She was too useful, often bringing him information that enabled him to make deals he would otherwise have • missed. There had even been times when Grunwald had refused to sign a contract with him, then had been persuaded by Myra to change his mind. That was something * else he did*not understand about Grunwald. He heard the major come" in, heard the hum of talk between him and Myra, then the stairs creaked as he went up to his room. A moment later Myra came in with glasses and a bottle £ of sherry. * “Still cold?” I “No,” he answered. She filled the glasses, taking her time. This was the kind of maneuvering in which he took great pride. To him any woman was a challenge, first to possess , her, then to hold- her if she was worth the holding. It was the greatest game in the world, far greater than wangling a profitable Army contract. (To Be Continued) . :d by tins Feature* Syndicate. J
