Paul Panciera nodded slowly. ‘

He paused and then went on, “The ‘

out to be much more attractive

leven love, possibly?”
Jean Roland was beginning to
be annoyed now, “Assume what
you like.”
Mr., Panciera sighed. “Poor
youth, poor helpless vouth. To
break his heart upon & stone, I
think—" He spoke carelessly but
nonetheless pointedly, “—I think
perhaps I shall have a little talk
with the young man in the morn
ing. Where is Tim Reese staying?”
“Not far from here, but much
too far for you.” Jean said sharply.
~ He smiled tolerantly. “Perhaps,
‘then, you would prefer to ask him
over here?”
“What would you talk to him
about?”
He was very relaxed, offhand.
“Oh, one thing and another. Bus
iness, possibly.” He shrugged. “We
might even, if you would stay
mildly sane, talk over some satis
factory arrangement for the three
of us.”
She shook her head firmly. “You
may be sure I shall not ask him
over. You might take it into your
head to talk about me.”
He smiled his ironic smile.
“Could it be it has occured to you
that he and you might make a
very profitable combination?
Could it even be avarice, sweet?”
* * *
" Angrily, she turned away from
him and went quickly to the pas
sageway that led to the rear of
the apartment. She returned al
most immediately in a heavy coat.
“Now, now. I wouldn’t be so im
petuous,” he reproved her. “It
is good to flee iniquity but I feel
the flight would be better made
in the morning, Does he know you
reside here?”
“What do you think?” She
stopped, faced him. “No. It's sim
ply I'm tired of your wmanners.
Your artificiality is getting on my
nerves. And, I might add, your
conceit is also.”
“He is so natural, isn’t he, and
so modest. One of nature’s own
gentlemen, How I suffer in com
parison.”
“You do! And I'm in love with
him, if that's what you want to
know!” She went swiftly to the
door.
“Dear, dear.” He sighed, shook
his head sadly. “Love. Love at
last. You, such a prettily coiled
steel mechanism, in love. Truly I
live in an age of wonders.”
She opened the door. Swiftly he
stepped forward, closed it. :
“No.” He was cool, authorita
tive ncaw. “No. It would hardly be
good business for you—or for me,
for that matter—if you should be
seen tramping through a hotel
lobby at this hour of the morning.
It could hardly be described as in!
good taste, to put it mildly. Nor
do I think it would enhance your
reputation any to have people say
ing I threw you out.” He took her
arm, led her back into the room.
“I will go, if it will make you any

“It will, considerably.”
He shrugged, went to a closet im
mediately inside of the passage
way. In a moment he was back
with his hat, coat and gloves.
“Nobody will notice an artificial
and conceited poor creature like
me at this hour of the night.” He
went to the door. “And if any
one should notice, it will be said
that you threw me out. That will
be considered amusing.” He

Over Manhattan, the morning
broke gray and cold, but not for
Tim Reese. His expectancy of the
day awakened him early and his
bright memories of the night be
fore kept him awake. The drab
day and the plain hotel room were
for him golden-hazed with pleas
ure.
Those dreams he had had in the
hospital, the play of many scenes
and many eurtains, which had
stretched so far into the distance,
were beginning to be too real now
for Tim to be anything but happy.
It was with an exuberance he
had not known for years that he
climbed out of bed and went to
the window to shut it. He turned
away from the window and then
stopped abruotly. Astounded, he
stared at his canes <standine
against the wall near the bed
where he had placed them the
night before.
He stared at the canes a long
moment, finding it difficult to be
lieve their testimony. Then, sud
denly, he gave out with a whoop
of ijoy.
He had in his exuberance
walked without the canes. He
had walked without help for the
first time since 1944.

Crackers Finally
Defeat Travelers
By The Associated Press
Bill Kennedy, veteran New Or
leans lefthander, was a picture of
pitching futility earlier in the sea
son. Right now he is the hottest
hurler in the Southern Associa
tion.
The 33-vear-old Virginian chill
ed the Chattanooga Lookouts on
four hits last night in chalking up
his fourth straight triumoh for the
Pelicans, 5-2. The decision was
Kennedy's fifth against the same
number of losses.
Frank Thomas, Huskv Pel out
fielder, homered and dodbled to
spark the winners’ attack.
Memphis blasted eight runs in
the seventh to down Birmingham,
12-7: Mobile swent a double head
er with Nashville, 6-4 and 5-0
and Atlanta shaded Little Rock,
8-6.
Mobile’s twin victorv over Nash
ville dumped the Vols third to
fifth place.
Second place Birmingham muff
ed a chance to pick up ground on
Little Rock when thev lost to the
big Memphis inning. The Chicka
saws laced seven hits and took ad
vantage of two walks and an error
during the outburst. For the sec
ond straight time, the Barons’ re
lief star, Hershell Freeman, failed
to put out the fire. He allowed- five
hits and five runs in two-thirds of
an inning.
Tribe lefthander Dick Littlefield
was credited with the victory, al
though he was ineffective and was
yanked after six innings. It was
his fourth verdict against an equal
number of losses. Baron starter
Jim Wallace was the lower.
The Atlanta Crackers finally
scored a home:victory over lead
ing Little Rock after five unsuc
cessful ventures.

Venetian Blind
Is Clue In
Brutal Murder
TULSA, Okla, June 27—(AP)
—The sheared, lower part of a
venetian blind provided police
with a tangible clue Tuesday as
they mulled the handkerchief
strangulation murder of a young,
pregnant housewife.
“Finding of this part of the ve
natian blind from the victims’
apartment changes the entire vic
ture of the case,” Chief - Fred
Graves said Monday night.
He made his statement after it
was discovered in a clumo of
weeds near Mrs. Dorothy Wal
drop’s apartment—and not too far
from where her body was found
Monday.
Police first theorized Mrs. Wal
drop, six months pregnant, 22, and
the wife of a taxicab company
worker, was forced or lured from
her home Sunday night.
Then, they thought, the victim
was made to walk — or even car
ried — to a grassy nearby hill,
murdered, and then raped.
But the clipped blind, Graves
said, indicates different action.
He did not elaborate.
Five other women have been
murdered in the same general
neighborhood since 1942.
" Police, though, are reluctant to
connect Mrs. Waldrop’s death with
the others, all unsolved.
ENVOY’S BRIEF-CASE STOLEN
ADDIS ABABA.— (AP) —Ethi

appearance of “important papers”
from the brief-case of Dr. Eduar
do Anze Matienzo, of Bolivia, UN
Commissioner for Eritrea, Senor
Matienzo visited Addis Ababa
briefly, late in May. After landing
at Addis Ababa Airport, he found
he had inadvertently left his brief
case in the plane.
Airport oofficials searched the
airliner but failed to find the
brief-case. It was later returned
to Dr. Matienzo in what officials
reported to have been a “round
about way.” But, officials said, all
the papers were missing.
Raymond E. Lester, manager of
the Athens Division Office of the
State Department of Veterans
Service, announced todaly that ac
cording to recent legislation en
acted by the Congress, a large
number of veterans of World War
I will now be entitled to pension
benefits, These veterans must be
able to prove disability and this
disability need not have occurred
iduring wartime or peacetime serv
ce.
For more thorough details in
connection with pension rights
and benefits, veterans are re
quested to mail their name and
address to the State Department
of Veterans Service, Box 652,
Athens, Georgia, or call telephone
number 1738, !
Mr. Lester stated that this in
formation is being mailed to all
known living veterans within this
area and it is our belief that “A
large number of veterans of World
War I whose names and addresses
are not available in the Athens
Office are entitled to these bene
fits and will be able to establish
a valid claim.”
