and there. directly cross the table,
was Toto, standing close beside the
giant Bogo. One Of her arms was
around the big man, and she was
smiling up at him with a sweetness
which turned Carl sick with sudden
jealousy.
The sight of the woman for whom
he had conceived such a sudden, de-
vastating love, standing beside Bogo
brought a rush of hurting disgust to
Carl. SUnsteadily he pushed back out
Of the crowd without having been
noticed. For a few minutes he stood
motionless at the outer edge, sick
with jealousy. The feeling was new
to him. Never before in his life had
he known that he could be so affected
by what before he would have con-

sidered an unimportant event. But
now it was important!
He strobe away through the crowd
unseeingly, his heart bursting with
its sudden ache. He tried to TT him.
self that he was being silly-was act
ing like a love-sick boy-but such
mental abiurations relieved him no
whit.
Around the fire the throng of dan
GERS had increased. They formed q
dense, closely-packed mass Of slowly
swaying couples who moved as though
in hypnotized rythmn to the throb-
bling, barbaric strains of the muted
banjos. Welded together by the spell
of the music, their emotions whipped
to q froth Of desire, they seemed to
have forgotten everything, so en-
crossed were they in the ecstasy OF
the moment.

Car, and Ro6o Clash in a Death Struggle for the Favor of Toto -.

Carl watched them with bitter de-
tachment, while in the back of his
mind he was trying to decide what
to do. He felt that he could do no
good by staying, and yet he vas
loathe to go. He mulled the problem
over in his mind, but came to no de-
cision.
Someone touched him on the arm,
and Hotshot's CHEEKY voice broke vel
comedy into his frenzied thoughts.
You looks like a lost sheep, Carl"
the little man told him jovially.
What ails you?"
Carl shrugged his shoulders. Guess
I'm just out of luck" he muttered
drearily.
Cause why?"
"Oh, Toto was to meet me here
tonight"
"An' she ain here?"
"Yes, she's here all. right" Carl ex-
planned with bitter resentment, but
she's with Bogo over at the dice ia

ed Indignantly.

He faced his friend. "And I'm leav-
ing in the morning!"

said with comic mournfulness, but
eff you goes I goes too, pardner!"
you're a brick, Hotshot." Carl
cried, touched by his friends loyalty.
"but you mustn't leave here just be-
cause I do"
"Say-lissen yere-why don you go
and asst Toto whut in %tarnation she
mean by dom you like that?" Hot
shot suggested. "An' eff that big
boogie man starts sumpin' why we'll
try his jaw!"
Carl Plans Revenge
Carl pondered the idea. 1t appealed
to him because it would at least be
better than Sinking off like a whip
ped cur.
Il got me a Smith and Wesson pis-
toll, err ruther Sally's got one. You
wait twill I runs down to my shack,
and then we shows Bogo Sompin'!'
Hotshot cried. Before Carl could halt
him, he darted off eagerly through
the crowd at a rapid pace.
With a slow anger Smouldering IN
him, Carl made his way back to the
table, and pushed to a place,opposite
where Bogo and Toto still stood en-
crossed in the game.
Bogo was in possession of the dice,
and he was winning hugely. His
large, heavily lined face glistened
with p~erspiration, and his loud laugh
ter rang out triumphantly as he
raked a pile of bills and silver into
the mound of money in front of him.
Toto looked up and saw Carl. She
smiled quickly, and dropped n eye
as though to say: Business before
pleasure" but she was nervous. Her
agitation caused Bogo to glance up.
The big man smiled in malicious
triumph as he saw CarPs hurt face.
He threw one of his tremendous arms
around Toto and pulled her to him
with an air of easy possession.
Up and down the table men halt
ed their gambling to watch this by
play. A whispered sibilance swept its
length, and a faint air Of tension
caused the loud talk and cries to
cease.

"Oh, nothing much"
"You ain kiddin' me none" Hot

"Well--I-I wondered what I should

with a grin.

"In be on the lookout" Carl prom

AS dusk fell the youth bathed and
ST.. j with more care than he could
remember since his first date with
Antoinette in his junior year at COL
lege. He had taken her to a fra
ternity dance, and had been highly
elated at the privilege because the
girl belonged to the set of which ne
hoped to become a member.
He chuckled now as he viewed the
white shirt he had obtained that day
from the supply house. However, ne
proceeded with his dressing with
great care. Not until his hair was
cleaning from a thorough comoing
did he desist, and his preparations
completed, seat himself in the door
a to wait until things got going
in the scroIch.
Carl Is Nervous
He felt an odd bashfulness at join

quiet, throbbing happiness OF expec-

felt as he thought a prospective
bridegroom must feel a few minutes
before his marriage to n dearly
loved.
When the strains of the banJos
and the shouts of merriment became
apparent, he arose and sauntered
e slowly through the woods. He
idled along the way much as a BASH

At last Carl reached the scronch-
ing grounds. Around the bright fire
many couples swayed in close en-
brace as One-Eye and a companion
drew barbaric music from their in
struments. There was much laugh
ter and gaiety; much shouting and
rough play among the men.
Carl wandered through the dense
crowd seeking Toto with an eager
ness which he tried to hide. She was
not among those who danced, nor
was she among those who sat near
the fire eating the redolent yiands'
The youth decided that she had not

 East Berlin's Big Day
 ApproXim atcly 300 men. women end children attended the com rnunty outing at Hotchkiss grove in Branford Saturday, Mir and Mrs. R. o. Clark being hosts to the group at their shore cottage The start was made from Community hall at 10 o'clock, the procession being led by the fife and drum corps followed by two buses and more than a score Of private cars. The starting crowd was the largest of any in the six years that the outings have been held. Not an accident nor mishap occur red throughout the entire day and the weather was ideal. Throughout the day cars continued to arrive al the beach.
 The procession, bedecked with banners bearing the insignia of the East Berlin Community club, arriv- ed at the Clark cottage at 11:30 o'clock. The appeal of the water was too much and in a few minutes the greater part of the crowd were dis porting on the beach or in the sound. Young and old and large and small all dropped their cares for the day and joined in the joy and intimate spirit of the occasion. The keen edged appetites of the vast throng were quickly appeased with an array of eatahles that would have fed an army. No younSster who wanted a second or third helping was turned away and even after the com bined onslaught of the 300 picnickers there was plenty left. Alec Williams. the "punch king" made fruit punch enough to float the Atlantic fleet but the 300 saw that it was good to the last drop"
