Penal Release
469 Get Cline OFF, for Fighting
Raging Mississippi River
on Huge Levees

Their victorious fight to save the
levees guarding Memphis from the
Mississippi river flood unlock the
shackles of 10 happy negroes at the
Shelby, Tennessee, county penal
farm last week.
'Boy, rs a-goin' home" shouted
big negro after a guard unlocked
the chains from about his legs. "And
I sho is glad" He danced a jig in
the gloom of the prison yard.
'Big John" was his name. He got
into a scrap down on Beale street
while celebrating one night last fall
and was a little too handy with a
knife.
The judge said six months, but
big John" got out 80 days ahead of
time because of totin' sandbags on
the levee. He was one of 469 prison.
ers, some of them white, who earned
"time off, for their defense of the
city even though they worked with
chains about their legs and with
armed guards near to prevent posi-

spite Of the fact that the family
name is not very popular in this
country, everybody is talking about
you.
"Just to show you, Jane, how feel
ing has been: we've got an ex-Sheriff
out here, one of the best and biggest
hearted men in the mountains. He's
a character. He happened in to the
hotel the other day, and we got to
talking about you-now don't blush
or get confused, girl-you're entitled
to good sendoff, and ! gave you a
good one.
"Old Bill Pardaloe set where you
are setting, with his feet on the ia
bic, chewing tobacco, listening to
every word and never, all the time,
saying one world himself. When I
got through, I told him about you,
and that you had an aunt in Chicago
who'd been out here-a regular
sport and no fancy airs because she
had rich brother.
''Pardaloe-now I'm telling you
this, Jane, only to show you how
some of us felt-Paraloe shifted his
quid and says, Doc, it's kind of hard
for me to believe there's one decent
Van Tambel in the world; I'm damn
ed if I'll ever believe there's two "
ooh, Doctor!"
"Bill Denison worked awhile for
your father; he was foreman at Gun
lock. You father thought DeniSon
was just about right. He could do
everything-and do it well. He made
so much money for your father that
he gave him a share in the cattle, a
tenth, believe it was. When he quit,
Denison asked for a settlement on
his share. Your father told him he
didn't have no share. They went to
law about it. Denison got beat-he
didn't have anything but verbal
contract. So Bill went back to live
on his own ranch to the Reservation.
It's small but has plenty of good wa
ter from a big spring that makes it
valuable. Then he began running off
enough Gunlock cattle in small
punches cattle he claimed belonged
to him, anyway-to pay what your
father owed him.
$50 Bill was cussed by your father
as rustler 1t made cattlemen laugh,
thinking of your fathers own repu-
tation in that respect. And the old
man brought a lawsuit against Bill
to Gust him from the little ranch,
account bad title. That suit is still
pending in the land office at Wash
ington. Now, that's just about the
story, Jane"
The shock of the doctors story so
Inundated Jane that she wanted on
ly to get back home and hide what
she felt to be the shame of her faith
er from everybody. She had promis-
ed to ride back the hill trail with
Denison; she felt she just couldn't
do it. She took a short cut home
across the desert. Her mystified and
disappointed admirer, after lingering
patiently in the hills till dusk rode
into town only to learn at McAlpin's
barn that Jane had taken her pony
out early in the afternoon.
It was a painful night. She realiz-
ed why the name she bore was so
unpopular in Sleepy Cat.
Her depression bore her down;
even Quong saw that something was
wrong. He cooked special dishes to
tempt James appetite, but her appe-
