the worst of tit was that his date

ster who would knock a rival OF
with a bullet from ambush. No
Freeman was not that kind or
man. When Eddie came to
Locust Grove Church. he saw
Freeman.s car. with the lights
extinguished drawn up in the
ward. Mechanically he turned his
horse and buggy in the drive,
alighted and tied his horse to
tree.
Freeman stirred with bulky
menace in his car, climbed out
and slammed the door behind him.
The moon. hanging low in the
sky. gave a pale, ghostly light
among the trees. Anyone passing
the road could not see, without
special effort. the vehicles and
the two men IN the grove that
surrounded the church. Ednle
walked straight up to Freeman
and faced him.
What's it all about. Big Bov?"
he demanded.
Freeman had left his hat in
the car-and he could see
faint curl in the hair of the
other above his sullen. nigh
colored face

like huge knobs on the ends of
p1unging pistons. Edie jerked
his head out of blows path and
countered with smash that
caught Freeman solidly on the
Jaw. Whether the blow hurt or
not, Eddie had no means of know

per-cut that snapped the others
head back, but his man still came
on.
None of the blows he received
caused Eddie actual pain, but he
could feel an ebbing away of the
snap that had been in his punches.
Freeman was taking lot of pun
ishment. but there seemed to be
immeasurable strength in his thick
body and bull.like neck. What he
lacked in boxing skill he made up
in plunging savagery of attack.
For fraction of a second they
stood apart before leaping together
again, and Eddie realized that, so
far, he was not winning. But Of
this he wave no sign. He came,
cunning and wary, for he pos
sessed iardearned knowledge of
battle, and tried to conserve his
strength. Once he feigned a rush,
and as Freeman sprang forward,
he stepped aside and let the others
fist sprawl against empty air. A
wild rush against A nothingness
was both disheartening and faitgu-
ing.
Freeman whirled and returned
TO battle putting, but once more
Eddie ducked and eluded him. If
he was to win, Eddie realized, he
had to land one killing. destruc-
tive punch. He shook his head to
clear it. feinted with his left hand,
stepped back and sidewise, grin
ming maliciously atlhis foe.
Come on you big cheese"' he
snarled, maddeningly insulting.
The taunt reused the very es-
sence of all fury in Tom Freeman.
Suddenly he lost his head and
was beside himself
IN beat you to DEATH" he
cried, hoarsely. Eddie stepped
back one step. two steps, this was
what he wanted. Throwing aside
all caution, all idea of self pro-
lection, Freeman rushed at him
like a bull, lunging, with head
and shoulders lowered.
The supreme moment had ar
rived. and Eddie's hard right fist,
backed by the last ounce of
strength in back and shoulders
whipped forward like a bullet
crashed with brutal force, multi

the square chin.
In the Vernacular of the prize

soiidly on the button.
The EARRING shock to some nerve
center blOtted out his fury with
blackness and he was felled like
an OK. When he hit the ground
falling forward, his forehead
struck the protruding root of
locust tree and he lay motionless.
CHAPTER THIRTY-F FIVE
Eddie stood looking down at
the prone form of his rival before
him. He stood there while the
universe rocked and revolved
around him before it slowly began
to steady. He passed a hand
across his forehead, it was wet
with sweat
You got what you wanted.

weavingly to a fallen log and
sat down gaspingly drawing deep
gulps of air into his aching lungs.
God, We're a couple of an.
ifnals,'' Eddie muttered aloud
He was still. mentally. in the
swirl of combat. All the world
seemed narrowed down to the
little center that encompassed
him and the motionless form of
Tom Freeman; they were alone
in the world and nothing else
mattered. Dumbly his eyes rest
ed upon his unmoving rival and
he waited for him to twitch, roll
over and get up again.
Tom Freeman lay as one dead.
Eddie got up off the log. his
own weight almost staggering
him. Standing over Freeman, he
waited for some movement, some
sound. He bent down and clasped
the others damp shoulder, rolled
him over, face upward. The face
had lost its flush, there We're
swollen marks on it. but it
was the face of a man deep
in unconsciousness.
He'll come to in a minute"
Eddie muttered. Il guess he
bumped his head OH that tree
root when he dropped"
He went around to the side of
the church and found a pump,
bathed his own face, his hands,
his chest, his arms. From the
waist upward he was sore, he
was tired to the bone. but when
his fingers passed over his fea.
lures he found that he had not
been cut or marred. Most of the
blows he had taken had been on
the body and the side of the
head. He found a tin drinking
cup, which he carried full of
water and dashed in F'reeman's
face. There was no reaction. no
sputtering return to conscious
ness.
"Cripes! He certainly is out!'
Eddie got into his shirt and
adjusted his collar and tie. He
put on his coat and vest, and still
Tom Freeman didn't move. He
looked at the fallen man more
closely and frowned.
You certainly take your time
to come around, don't you, Big
Boy?" he queried. well, never
nind-you'1l feel worse when you
wake up. A guy that's knocked
out never knows what hit him
anyway.
Something ought to- be done,
though. to bring Freeman back.

Kneeling, Eddie began to ruh
Freeman's arms. They felt unre.

hands flat on Freeman's left
breast and there was the faint

the heart. Eddie drew a long re.

watching native shuck oysters, sees him
throw a valuable pearl away. Looking

with his neW-found wealth, Lloyd grows
restless and begins to watch the sea closely

Rural Congregation Holds
Reunion in Crooked
Creek Landmark.

When the Crooked Greek Baptist
Church on Michigan Rd., northwest
of the city, held its homecoming last
Sunday, it looked back on ninety
one years of such community serv-
ice as the older days knew, but
these hustling modern times sell
dom see.
Now modern little white coun-
try church, the plain single room,
40 by 60 feet, that was built in 1841,
still is the center of the structure.
In 1887 the first church was or
ganized and a log house was built
for it on the old George Hessong
place. Four years later Hessong
gave the land where the church of
today stands, serene in its grove Of
beech and oak and maple through
which. Crooked Creek winds.
The first pastor was one Of two
brothers, Madison and Ambrose
Hume, no one now remembers which,
but it is very well remembered that
