There are flagrant violations observed each day niear several Decatur filling stations where automobiles are parked across sidewalks, forcing pedestrians to walk in the street and on lawns. It is a violation of both city ordinances and state laws and is an inconvenience to those who use or rather try to use the sidewalks. One or two arrests of the violators would no doubt end the practice. It is especially bad these days with several inches of snow through which people are- compelled to walk and it is extremely dangerous to force people into streets where there is heavy traffic. o ■ o Get your ticket now for the annual Chamber of Commerce dinner to be held jointly with the Rotary and Lions clubs.

CHAPTER 19 | BY THE TIME I got out Os: Lanahan’s door, Luther was staggering into the A couple of blanketed Indiana were dozing in the shade; they scattered before Luther's howling approach. I ducked under the hitch rail and ran after him. only he was inside and running everyone else out before I could get to him. A pair of Ponca City’s spinsters were at the dry goods counter and before they could yell Luther had -grabbed—them._ kissed them, and turned them free They put on a good show of indignation but* I’ll lay • money that was’ all they talked about for months. Luther had the dry goods section to himself now and was pawing over the dresses? Felix Huddlemeyer, who owned the place, just stood with his mouth open, wondering whether he dared cross Luther or not. When he saw me. and that I was sober, his expression changed to one of hope. Now Huddlemeyer’s stock had never been what you could call fancy, and because he was the town’s biggest tightwad, his inventory was pretty low. Luther had gathered up everything on the counter and was staggering toward Huddlemeyer. "Take ’em all,” Luther was saying. "Buy every damn one. Show him that a man can give his wife a pretty or two if he wants." « About then I got a grip on Luther's arm and Instead of pulling him around, only succeeded in breaking him free of the dresses. They fell to the floor and were promptly trampled. Luther stepped around like a man dancing for'the first time, only he hooked his spurs into the goods, ripping several dresses. Huddlemeyer clapped both hands to his head and'closed his eyes. “Let’s get out of here, Luther. Tmean it I” —— - — -—— He tried to swing at me, the money still clutched in his fist. Ducking was easy and then 1 belted him solidly on the jaw. He went limp and I bent over, letting him drape over my shoulder. The money fluttered down tike green leaves and Huddlemeyer looked at IL He hurried around the counter and picked up every bill; Huddlemeyer had a native tenderness toward money.. “My goods,” be wailed. "It’s ruined.” “When he's sober he’ll come back and settle up," I said. I took the money, stuffed it in my back pocket and walked out. Things like that always draw a crowd, and trying to explain was useless, so I just pressed through and laid Luther face down across his horse. I mounted and led the way out of town,

’ (FridayT, but I want everybody to j know that, while it may sound I funny, I want to stay by Charlie. ‘‘They have my deepest sympathy—but that will probably be i ignored, seeing as how I am 'lstanding by my boy.” Earlier, a minister who said the i services over , Mr. and. Mrs. ' Marion Bartlett and their daughter, Betty Jean, 2, told the 1 mourners. “Harsh as it may seem, :it is logical to put most of the blame on the (Starkweather' family.” j The Rev. George Kuhn said Starkweather’s father —“should j have taken the boy to church and ■ taught him respect for the soul iof man., instead of taking him out and 'making him into a sharpshooter.” Authorities said they planned intensive questioning of Starkweather's diminutive, pimply-faced girl friend. Both she and the swaggering slayer have been charged with i murder in the death of Miss King. “As far as I'm concerned,” LinIcoln Police Chief Joe Carroll said, “the girl is not blameless and was not held as a hostage. She had plenty of opportunities to slip i away.’ ♦ j o'- - - • *

i keeping to a slow walk 'so he 1 i wouldn’t fall off. 1 | He didn’t stay out very long, 1 but the combination rap on the i jaw and riding head down made i him powerful sick. Luther slid to ' the ground, and when he finally straightened up his face was ashen. "You made g... damn fool of yourself.” I told him. He looked at me as though he had never seen me before. "Who the hell cares?” "I care,” I told him. "Now get on your horse and let's —get home.” He glared at me, as if everything was my fault, then the anger ran out of him, leaving him sad and whipped and hating himself. "I wanted to show Edna that I could do for myself.” he ' said. "You can understand that, can’t you, Smoke?” 1 “I guess so.” ' , He took off his hat and wiped his arm across his forehead. "I’ve been thinking about her all night. 1 and the drunker I got, the farther 1 away became the answers. A ! man’s got to break away. Smoke. He’s got to or he'll never amount to anything.” 1 "Then take Edna and leave," I said. “I’d do it” “Would you? You’ve got three thousand there. Take it and ride out now. Go somewhere and live your own Hfe.” “The money's not mine,” I said. "It belongs to all of us.” “We’ll never see any of it," he said. He looked Uke a man who was about to cry and I didn’t like to see him that way; he was almost a total strange?. “A- man never sees anything until it’s too late, Smoke. Kind of had a nagging feeling from the beginning, that Cord was setting something up between me and Edna. But I wasn’t thinking of her, Smoke. Not for a minute. Just thought of myself and what being married would mean. I figured that being married would change everything, make me my own man. But It sure didn't. Cord, he knew it wouldn’t all the time and let me go through with it so he could laugh at me.” Luther’s face ■ screwed up ugly and wild-ayed and he hit himself in the chest with his fist. "He even picked out • my woman for me! You know ■ that ? Picked her out and paid her > train fare and the preacher!” s "You're talking wild,” I said. “Cord don’t mean anything to be ! like that.” i Luther looked at me wonders ingly-, like I was some innocent bate wandering Into a danger I t was too green to understand, i “You can’t see him yet, can you, i Smoke? You can’t see him at s all." He shook Ills head as though i it was too bad. “He’s laughing, i, Smoke. Not out loud, but he's

Is it proper for a bridge play- 1 era grolp ed and the an er to lay down several remaining cards in his hand with the remark, “The rest of the tricks are mine”? A. This can be very annoying to moderately skilled players, and it is quite often possible that he may be wrong. It is in much better | taste to play out all the tricks. Q. I am scheduled to receive | an award at our club banquet! soon. If I accept it in my right hand, should I then transfer it to ’ my left in order to shake hands with my right hand? A. No matter how you receive! the award, you still must shake hands with your right hand. Q. Are relatives and close friends supposed to send gifts to a girl who has just announced her engagement? A. No.

He Just climbed on his horse, whirled and struck cut toward the home place as fast as he could ride. I looked after him for a moment, toying with the idea of letting him rids it out of his system, but decided that the risks were toe great; he might fall and break his foot neck. So I gigged my pony into motion and arrived at home about ten minutes after Luther did. From the barn 1 could hear Ma* erying and Edna scolding, and overriding this was Luther's angry voice. I hurried to the house. They were standing in the hall and Luther had a blanket roll over his shoulder. Ma was standing there with tears running down her cheeks and „ kneading her hands together. Edna had a good grip on Luther’s shirt front and was trying to hold him. but he was dragging her toward the front door. When he saw me standing there, he said, “Don’t try and stop me. Smoke.” “This time you can do as you danged please,'* I told him. Ma turned to me, wailing, “He’s leaving! Make him stay!” “Let go of me!” Luther said, trying to free himself from Edna’s grip. “Luther, please wait! What did I do? I’ve got a right to know what I’ve done?” "You ain’t done a damned thing,” Luther said. "Are you going to let me go or do I have to belt you one?" The way he said it, calm and kind of wicked, shocked her and she turned him loose. “Where are you going?” Ma asked. “Luther, where ? What for?” “I don’t know where," he said. “Ma, I just don’t know!" "You’ll send for me, won’t you, Luther?" asked Edna. He didn’t answer her. Ma covered her face with her apron and cried in a loud, distressed voice. “Oh, if Cord were only here you wouldn’t do this!” “It must be my fault,” Edna said. “But how, Luther? 1 love you. I came out here and married you. There has to be a reason!” "Ask Cord,” Lutlier said. "He’s got an answer for everything,” “The best way to make women shut up, I had just discovered, was to kiss them, which I did. Her arms liked i to choke me, but can you name a better way to die?” Smoke’s i >tory continues tomorrow.
