Towers. Yet he did not realize how
often he needlessly dropped by this
little store to buy tobacco when he
had plenty, matches when his pockets
were full, socks he did not intend to
use. A week before, she had insisted
on paying the partners for the orig
inal supplies which they had furnish
ed her, only to go deeper in debt. It
had been a secret loan from Jack Ham,
mand for $4,000 to be rushed out by
airplane the next day and sent by
express to The Pas. At least, the
monetary weight of her past was off
her conscience. Now she came for
ward, wistfully eager.
Gee, it's good to see you smile
again." she said. Then hesitantly,
"You've helped me so much. I'd give
anything if I could"
There she halted and turned away.
Jacks eyes followed her gaze, to sight
the trim form of the approaching Kay
Joyce.
ooh, there you are" the Seattle girl
exclaimed, with her usual easy COM
mand of spontaneity. give been look

joy as he ,clawed for his chips. Jack
went on, last to corner the wander
ing Florine.
"Listen!" he commanded. "Have
you seen that partner of mine?"
"Baby," she exclaimed. "I amt stol-
en- him."
II didn't say you stole him. ask
ed if you'd seen him. You helped
him out with some liquor, didn't you ?"
"Only five crocks," said Florine in
nocently.
"Only five!" asked Jack, with his
hand to his forehead. (Which way
did he go?"
Florine pointed to the entire North.
Hammond hurried out the door, numb
ling to himself:
"No need trying to find him. He's
caching it somewhere-for later. And
he always remembers where he puts
it."
After time, he returned to the
pavilion. There was nothing to do
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1937-10-08

but wait and watch. The dance hall
had become steamy, the clatter from
the bar louder, the music of the or
chestra more raucous. Jack Ham
mond wandered ceaselessly, watching
every entrance. An hour passed. Then
the younger partner shot forward. Nc
Kenzie Joe had appeared in a door
way, his hat crosswise on his head,
his sleeves rolled back, and his cleo
trio blue suit grimy from contact with
the forest. Jack knew the story. a
wandering course to some point, deep
in the bush, where Mckenzie Joe had
buried that iquor-again Jack re-
minded himself that no matter how
much more liquid might flow down
this beaverlike mans throat, Joe

1t had been during one of these
sorties that Jack had lost his partner.
One moment Joe had been steering
straight for the middle of the dance
floor, only suddenly to disappear as
a surging mass of leg-flinging miners
and their girls cut him off from the
pursuing Hammond. By the time
Jack had fought his way through the
tangled mob, Mckenzie Joe was gone.
Now the younger partner sought him
in vain, at last going to the gambling
hall.
Here the crowd was even thicker.
Throngs were jammed around the
rails of the crap games; the clatter
of the dice was continuous with the
drone of the keeper.
Spaced at intervals were the intent
intricacies of faro, each game with
it's dealer, laconically lingering the
cards from their wooden box, it's froz
en- faced lookout, high on his long
legged stool, his green eye shade and
his dead cigar each dropping at a
similar angle, it's never restful case
keeper, with his counting board, re-
cording the cards as they came forth.
Here too was the glitter of the "big
Wheels" glaring with maze of cleo
trio lamps, charged by the pride of
Around the World Annie's establish
ment-a gasoline motor light plant,
which had formed an entire load for
Timmy Moons plane. The stud games
also were busy, slot machines, the
black jack games and the enthralling
click of the ivory ball as it rounded
the roulette wheel. Hammond turned
in that direction. He had sighted
Bruce Kenning.
He was coatless, his collar loosen
ed, Slightly drunk, he stood sweating
at the board, his left hand incessant-
ly riffling the pile of chips before
him, his right hand stabbing outward,
to place his bets, four-way wager
here, straight bet there, a hedge on
the Double o. A look of surprise
came into Hammond's eyes as he
neared the man; there was terrific
concentration about him, an air of OBJ
lviousness to everything save the lay
down board and the dizzy spin of the
multicolored wheel.
Jack was tempted to ask him if
he had seen Mckenzie Joe. But the
very detachment of the man, the look
of exquisite agony with which he
watched the trepidation of the little
ivory ball, clicking against the inter-
stices, bounding out, hesitating, then
rolling on again before it should fin
ally sink into its final socket, with
held him. He turned away, while
from behind him, the call of the
croupier blended with the queer, rack
ing voice of Kenning proclaiming his

ing for you."
Jack Hammond felt again the queer
emotions which flooded him whenever
these women met. AS though he
should explain Jeanne, extol her good
qualities. 1t made him angry with
himself; Jeanne needed no extoling
and Kay had never made an outright
move of enmity.
"I was just on the way down to
the creek" Jack said. 81 heard seme
shouting"
eyes, Olson's made another strike" /"
"Olson again?" Hammond turned
to Jeanne. "Better put in a new or

ly buys out the store after every new
strike" Kay covered her rejoinder
with a disarming smile.

rich miners. You'll teach me some
time, Miss Towers?"
Jack Hammond gasped. For jean

equally unctuous. Then, "Jack, can

Once away from the cabin: you've

with Olson? 1 thought he was
after your mother?"
"She's after him, you mean. It's
sickening. Now I've been rung into
it. He wants to give a big dinner
to celebrate this strike.".
"Well?"
II simply can't sit through a par
ty like that. You've got to get me
out of it-tell him that we're going
for an airplane ride, anything. It's
to be Fourth of July night"
"What time?"
"Seven o'clock"
Thanks for that! I was afraid it
would be later. I've got to be away
by ten. I've promised to be with
Mckenzie Joe. It's something 1 can't
break. I simply can't. You'll let me
go by ten?"
1t was with a bit of pique that she
said good-by to him the night of Oh

from the cottage to his cabin. Joe

would be able to go to that supply
like hound dog to a flock of quail.
Nevertheless, Jack went forward in
desperate attempt at a ruse.
"Well, Joe," he announced with sim
ulated gusto, "I've been waiting for
you. Where have you been?"

Late Milo Strong
Praised For His
Club Leadership
Rotarians Deplore Loss and
Recall Stimulating
Enthusiasm

A resolutions committee for the
Rotary club brought into the club

well as that Of the City of Hen
Jacksonville in the passing of Milo

.ivity and, enthusiasm, which was
untiring rs long as his health per-
mitted.
The resolution was MS follows:
"Since in the death of Milo
Strong, Rotary. lost one of its
ablest, most devoted. and most un-
firing members, We, the members
of the Hendersonvillc. club desire
to record our individual and per
soDal loss, as well as the immcaS-
urablc loss which the City of Hen
Jacksonville. sustained in the death
Of our fcllow-mcmbcr. Milo was
a prince Of a Rotarian. He main
tanned his attendance upon our
club and his keen interest in It's
activities just rs long as his phySi-
cal strength would possibly per-
nit. ..
"His friends and associates who
knew him before he retired affec.
tionatcly called him Milo Work
Strong. Those Of us who knew
him Astounding enthusiasm, his
untiring labors for Rotary and this
community in his last years, feel
that he deserved that name until
his death. He wanted TO act and
he wanted others to act. 1t was
impossible to be in club with
him and not catch, at least, Il
spark of his enthusiasm.
although his place in our club
was such that his death to US is an
irrcparable loss, we shall always
have with US his example, his UNI
swcrving faith in HcndcrSonvillc
and his fellow man, which has
been of such tremendous help and
inspiration to Us.
