Pipe down. There was a man there.
At first she was as mean as hell to
him. Nearly took his head off every
other sentence. But ne knew what
she'd been like before. He figured this
was just a reaction. He knew there'd
come time when the pendulum
would swing back to normal, when
she'd start being her real self. And
he had an idea that her real self was
pretty swell. And then one night, after
about two months she softened little
bit. And the guy decided that it was
about time he stopped taking a mean
advantage of her. And anyway he
wanted to find out something for
himself"
He paused. and for moment there
was silence in the room. Don't you
want to know what it was he wanted
to find out?'
Does - does it matter?" Her voice
was barely above a whisper.
Another silence. And then suddenly
he flung himself down beside her and
grabbed both of her hands and drew
her close, and when he spoke, all the
nonchalance, all the easy casual BAN
ter was gone.
1T matters terribly - terribly, do
you understand" He gave her little
shake. Because by this time the poor
guy is dead gone on her. He's des-
perately in love with her. And he's
got to know how she feels about him.
So he figures if he pretends like he's
inviting this Tuffy mug up she'll - if
she really cares anything about him.
she'll beat it - because il she doesn't
care anything about him, she'd stay
and brazen it out - and - Oh Sarah.

and a bang on the head did not feel
like anything. He thought it would be
better if ne could sit on Stanley and
punch from that position. Presently
he made it. and could use both his
arms. Was this James - sitting on
Stanley? Stanley was yelling for help;
and he could yell.
The first to come to Stanley's aid
was his father. He came shouting.
He had just returned from downtown
- in the Whitaker car with James
Whittaker's father. who also came
across the lawn.

father. you young scamp!' and he
pulled off James.

blood and CRIME onto the backs Of
his hands.

father. hosting James by the collar.

James father arrived at the garage
door in time to hear this last. "You
have mind to do wh0t7" he asked.
And after Stanley's father had an

that would dare lay a hand on my
boy. I'd knock him 50 far -"
You'd what?"
Take your hand off himr'
Stanley's father took his hand off.
Get up. Stanley" he said. We'll get
to the truth of this"
I'VE certainly WILL" said James
father. Come. Jimmy"
All the way home. James father
was muttering to himself - why

have a mind to 90 back now and -.

But Jimmy, W0s the show your

The play was abandoned. The three

. When lumbago launches an un-

pie way to get quick relief. "Ben-
Gay" the famous formula of DR..
Jules Bengue, of Paris, has been a
boon to lumbago sufferers for
more than 40 years. Simply rub in
"Ben-Gay" at the first sign of

POCOMOKE MERCHANTS
WILL CLOSE JULY nth

By advertisement in another column
of today's issue of the Democrat"
the public is informed that the mer-
chants of Pocomoke will close their
places of business all day on Saur-
day, July 4. This is done to observe
in a fitting way the nations birth
day, and the business men are to be
commended for their patriotic stand.
Suspending operations on Saturday,
the most important day of the week
from a commercial standpoint involves
some sacrifice, and perhaps loss, tho
on the Fourth" most people are more
concerned with pleasure trips than
with shopping and, perhaps Saturday
would be dull day after all, if stores
were open. However, in order to give
opportunity for such buying as is
done on aturday, the stores will be
open until 1000 o'clock in the evening
of Friday the Third. Buyers should
read carefully the advertisements,
note the window cards announcing the
closing, and act accordingly.
