NOW GO ON WITH THE STGnT CHAPTER NINE GREASY was really the one who suffered most in the second smashing of the planewing, when he had to stand and see the exulting MacKcnzie slash it with an ax. Tony was philosophical, and helped Greasy to get the repair job once again under way. Tony knew that a few more days in Moosetown would surely mean seeing Mary again, and there had

Her voice was barely a whisper. “Say it again, Tony,” she murmured. Then they felt, rather than noticed, a sudden silence fall on the crowd on the dance floor. MacKenzie halted at the end of their table.

been so much left unsaid between them. Despite MacKenzie’s unreasoning rage, Tony knew he must see Mary—soon. Meanwhile the damaged plane made as good an alibi as any. Greasy Worked at the wing with concentrated fury, the now-frayed letter from his Montreal sweetheart sticking out of his jumper pocket. Several days passed, and MacKenzie kept Mary close within their house. Tony began to fear that Greasy’s furious energy would have the plane ready to fly before he could see Mary at all. Then, on the very night when Greasy triumphantly announced that, “she’s ready to fly again,” Tony succeeded in meeting Mary.

"I must see you,” Tony breathed. “Can’t you get out tonight? We could go somewhere and talk. Mary! I have such a lot of things to say to you!” “Things I want an awful lot to hear!” she whispered back. “Yes, I can get out tonight. I’m supposed to go over to Aunt Tilda’s with a basket of things. I’ll go, but afterward—l’ll meet you here —say about 8?” And so it was innocently enough arranged. nun Ijj'IGHT-THIKTY found things -J booming ai a hilarious pace at the Skidroad, a sort of bucolic night club and rendezvous set up in a farmhouse on the edge of Moosetown. The front rooms had been remodeled into a dance hall, and a tinny piano was rattling out year-old jazz. Crude booths with tables inside them had been built along the walls. Lumbermen in checked wool skirts and heavy boots clumped on the dance floor with girls dressed in what they fondly imagined were evening frocks. The attempt at a gay atmosphere in the place achieved only a certain dismalness. They were welcomed to the Skidroad by a blowsy host who

was leeringly obsequious, and who installed them in one of the booths. The sound of laughter and rough horseplay surged about them, but neither was really conscious of it. Tony ordered beer for himself, a lemonade for Mary. While waiting for their orders, each strove to be gay, but without much success. “Yep. Going out for sure tomorrow,” said Tony with a casualness he did not feel at all. “Greasy’s got the plane all fixed up again. You’ll get to thinking that I make more farewell appearances than Harry Lauder.” Mary was a little wistful as she answered him: “But Harry Lauder always comes back for one more appearance.”

TONY nodded gravely. “And so will I,” he said. “To take you away from here. Mary, I love you. You must have seen it the day we went up in the plane. Somehow, I don’t care a lick about Montreal, or my meaical career, or—or anything, without you. Will you marry me?” Mary leaned closer, her head brushing his shoulder. Her voice was barely a whisper. “Say it again ... Tony," she murmured. Tony's voice gained resolution. “Will you marry me?” he asked again. They felt, rather than consciously noticed, a sudden. silence fall on the crowd on the dance floor. Then a whisper ran through the room. Piercing the murmur came a frightened remonstrance from the proprietor, “Please, boss, don’t let’s have no trouble here. I don’t want no trouble, Mr. MacKenzie!” Tony stiffened. He felt what was coming. He did not see MacKenzie contemptuously shove the proprietor aside, but he did see the livid face of MacKenzie as the latter approached, peering into booth after booth.

'-r'ONY placed his nand briefly over Mary’s with a little squeeze of assurance. “Don’t be frightened, dear,” he said softly. MacKenzie came to a halt at the end of their table. “Star,-* up!” he said grimly, looking fixeoly at Tony, and without a glance at, Mary. The girl, coloring, glanced up in terror, ‘‘Dad, please!” she implored. “Just a minute, now, Mi - . MacKenzie—” began Tony, in a conciliatory tone. “There’s nothing— ’ “Stand up!” shouted MacKenzie, in a fury, his face purpling. He deliberately began to peel off a heavy coat. Tony slid out of the booth quietly. “Mary, maybe you’d better go,” he said. “Let her stay!” roared MacKenzie, his eyes alertly on the advancing giant. “I don't want to fight you,” he said evenly. “You’re Mary’s father!” MacKenzie swung a wild right. Tony drew back his head with a quick motion that revealed the experienced boxer as the fist swished past his nose. “Somebody stop him!” he pleaded. “Grab him!” Tony sidestepped to avoid another whistling swing. “Stand up and fight!” grunted MacKenzie. A quick glance told Tony he had been forced almost to the rear wall of the room. Shouts of “Yellow!” and “Fight!” came from the crowd which quickly encircled the two men. “All right!” muttered Tony, desperately. “You asked for it!” ft tt tt HE feinted, cat-like, with his left, and drew from MacKenzie the expected wild right swing. Tony put all his weight behind a lightning-like right hook that went home directly to the point of MacKenzie’s stubbly chin. MacKenzie stumbled backward, spun against an iron stove, and fell twisting to the floor. Tony took two quick steps toward the fallen giant. But he did not get up. Two men leaped to his side, and began assisting him to his feet. A buzz of excitement swept the crowded room. None of them ever had seen MacKenzie down before. Tony stepped quickly into the booth where Mary stood, a trembling witness to the short encounter. “I’m sorry this happened,” said Tony hurriedly. “I’m getting out. • But I love you, and I’m coming back! Understand? If vou think It’ll do any good, tell HIM I love you, too!” Quickly they kissed, and then . Tony was gone, striding rapidly to the front of the room and out the door. Mary sat helplessly at the table, her face buried in her hands, sobbing.

HELPING hands heaved MacKenzie slowly to his feet. He staggered groggily and clutched his left arm as his face went white with pain. “Broke it when I fell!” MacKenzie made his way to the booth where his daughter still sat. “Get home!” he said between clenched teeth. “Oh, dad,” began Mary, lifting a tear-stained face. “Get home!” repeated MacKenzie. Together father and daughter walked through the circle of wide-eyed lumbermen and their girls, and out into the night. Tony wasted no time. Knowing that more trouble could be expected of MacKenzie, he went directly home to Dr. Luke’s and ascertained that Greasy had finished his job, that the plane was ready to fly. Then he turned in, his plans made. When Constable Jim Ogden, early next morning, appeared in front of Dr. Luke’s house, Tony had been up and around for a long time. His last-minute inspection of the plane was already completed. And as Ogden approached, fingering a folded white paper, Tony slipped out the back door. It was Nurse Kennedy who opened the door for the constable. Tony had seen to it that she came over to get him an early breakfast. “Know where I can find Tony?” the constable asked, with elaborate casualness. .“Surely. Right here. > Inside. Eating sausages.” Nurse Kennedy was cordiality itself. non OGDEN entered, nervously fingering the warrant in his hands. From the back yard came a sudden explosive roar. Constable Ogden was no fool. He leaped for the back door, waving the warrant in his hand. At the edge of the pasture lot adjoining the barn stood Tony's ship. “Stop! In the name of the law!” shouted Ogden, running toward the plane. Tony’s answer was to “give her the gun.” The hurricane from the propeller blew the warrant from Ogden’s hand, and he ducked quickly as the wing swung around and the plane straightened out with a rush down the pasture lot. Tony turned the plane at the far end of the field to get into the wind, and now came rushing back directly toward the pair. With a roar he put the plane’s nose sharply up, zooming directly over their heads with a gay wave of the hand over the edge of the cockpit. All Moosetown rushed to windows as the unaccustomed roar of the plane was heard. The plane • seemed reluctant to leave, but circled continually. Then the wide-eyed villagers saw the plane dip suddenly and swoop down over the house of MacKenzie. Few of them saw a tiny hand waving from an upper window. And none of them heard MacKenzife, his arm in a sling, as he sat at breakfast, swearing as the plane zoomed overhead. “We’ll hang on to that •warrant,” he muttered to himself. “The young fool! He’ll be back’” (To Be Continued)

Babin as its president, is one of the oldest bridge clubs in the United States. It has been called the “mother club” of successful duplicate bridge in the United States. The club conducts all major tournaments in Cleveland, including the annual Ohio State contract tournament, which is to be held this year the week of April 28. This tournament ranks second only to the nationals. Babin is a member of the wellknown Western Reserve team of Cleveland, and at present he is leading in the Cleveland Interclub Whist League standings. In today’s hand, he employs a varition of the suicide squeeze to make his contract. A suicide squeeze is a play by which you let one of the opponents run off his long suit, but In doing so he squeezes his partner. Today, however, we find that, while trying to establish a trick for himself, declarer sets the suit up for the opponents, but in cashing that suit, one opponent squeezes the other. The opening lead of the five of spades was won In dummy with the jack. To make his contract, declarer can see that either the heart or the club suit must break, or a trick must be established in diamonds. Declarer decided to try to establish a trick in diamonds and led a low diamond from dummy, playing the jack. East won with the queen and returned the eight of clubs, North winning with the queen. A small diamond was played, the eight spot finessed, and West won with the nine. As West had no other entry, he decided to cash his ace and king of diamonds. East discarded two spades. West’s next play was a spade. North refused to take the finesse and went up with the ace. He then led a small club, winning in dummy with the ace. A club was returned, declarer won with the king, and East was hope-

BgoJcs Need Oil Several times during the winter, while you have the steam heat turned on, you should rub yoiir leather book bindings with a soft cloth dampened in boiled linseed oil. This is to keep the leather from getting dry and splitting. If the rubbing leaves any excess oil, wipe it off with a dry cloth.

Mrs. George Stanley Rasmussen, Chicago, has denied a statement attributed to her in dispatches published Feb. 29 in which she was represented as saying that ar American working girl could dress attractively on a clothing budget of $1.50 a week. “Please deny my saying that any one can dress on $1.50 a week.” Mrs. Rasmussen said in a formal statement. “I did say that I have bought coats in job lots for $6.50 each (as she was quoted in the original interview.)” M r s. Rasmussens’ statement quoted a letter from Henry Stewart of the Social Service Bureau of Chisago, in which Stewart commented on “the charitable work that you have been maintaining over a long period of 'years, your humanitarian service in helping care for those less fortunate.”

Liquor Is Smashing Marriage Wife Tells Jane She Is 111 From Worrying About Husband. Pul your troubles in a letter to Jan* Jordan, who will answer your questioni in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—l have been married five years to a man who is a drunkard. I have tried in every way to keep him straight, but have not succeeded. He promises to do better, but the same thing always happens again. I have lost faith. He goes out Saturday eve-

nings and sometimes stays until Monday. He gets into fights and in jail and expects me to get him out, which I have done until I am disgusted. I left him last year, but he followed me with his hare! luck story and got me to come back. I have worked hard and

helped pay all expenses ever since we were married. I don’t nag, although I have plenty of cause. I am considered a good cook and housekeeper and always keep his clothes mended. My health is getting very bad from worrying so much. My heart and nerves are affected. I need medical care. When he isn’t drinking he is O. K. and a good worker, but after he has a few drinks he is like a wild man, is vulgar in talk and ways. I don’t think he ever will change. Do you think I should go out of town and get a job, or what would you advise in a case of this sort? DISGUSTED. Answer—lt seems to me that any wife has the right to withdraw from a union so miserable that it is breaking down her health. If there are children whose actual bread and butter are at stake it is impossible to do so, but you mention none and you seem to be self-supporting. I should think you would be happier and healthier if engaged in some useful oeeupation, rather than living in anguish with a man who can not faee existenee without blotting it out at intervals with alcohol. There is no easy cure for an habitual drinker. Sometimes it is a matter of physical treatment, sometimes a case for psychological readjustment. Either way it is expensive and requires the complete cooperation of the patient. Unless he wants to be cured, you have little chance to help him. Whether you are equipped to make your way alone without his meager help, I do not know. You make the decision. n n n Dear Jane Jordan—Would it be proper for a girl having tickets to a club activity, party or dance to ask a fellow to go with her? Is this customary? Would a fellow belittle the girl for asking him? If •it isn’t proper, how can fellows know that she has tickets or that there is going to be such an occasion? If it is proper, how would a girl go about asking a fellow? THANK YOU. Answer—ls the tickets were given to you, or if the affairs are given by a club of girls who are not selling them to boys, it is perfectly proper to tell your best boy friend that you have such tickets and would be glad to have him go with you. To buy tickets for a dance where it is eustomorv for boys to take girls instead of vice versa, would embarrass the boy.
