regarded as the smartest man in
Seaville.
David Marshal was as much of an
- institution in Seaville as the Court
House, the Confederate monument,
the post Office or the river itself He
called himself an apothecary, and was
one. He owned and operated a store
on River Street which made no pre-
tensions of vying with the newer and
more modern drug emporium on the
corner of River and Vine, but ply
sicians liked him and suggested that
their patients have prescriptions filled
by David; the older folks liked him
because they knew he could gossip if
he would and the young folks adored
him because he had the ability to
understand youth. Financially he was
not too successful. but he refused to
worry about it. Socially, his family
was of the coast-country best. He was
a widower, and he had one daughter,
Nan, who worked in the public library
and was engaged to Alan Keith. the
young real estate man.
The deputy sheriff put down the
telephone, and listened to footsteps in
the corridor. He said, "That'l most
likely be Matt Rice" The door
opened and the sheriff of Ocean County
entered He said, Hello, David" and
nodded briefly to his wiry. wizened
assistant. He shook the water from his

type of Southern sheriff. He was short

Sheriff Rice's weather beaten and age

the bridge leading to Duck Island.
The sheriff was driving and the at

back of the car David Marshal rode in
solitary grandeur, his long legs
stretched out at comfortable angle.
Matt Rice drove carefully. but fast.
The thunder crashed overhead and
the sky was riven with jagged light
ming. The rain beat down in torrents
on the not entirely weather proof top
of the antiQuated sedan. The head
lights bored holes in the blackness.
Crossing the bridge and negotiating
the rather treacherOus roadway of
Duck Island, Matt Rice drove more
slowly and with greater care. Then he

be there in minute :"
Seaville is very Southern and very
old. Its enthusiastic Chamber of
Commerce claims population of six
thousand and has drafted resolutions
condemning the Federal census bu-
reau. 1t is the claim of Seaville that
anybody knows - or should know -
that the government count of 4,l32 is
a gross and almost malicious under
statement.
The town sprawls lazify on the
banks of red and sluggish river, and
is bisected by the North-South High
way. 1t fancies itself as a shipping
center, and ships do occasionally steam
languidly into port to take on cargoes
of lumber and cotton and naval stores.
The architecture of the town is pic
turesquely ante bellum and so are
most of the people. 1t is, by and large,
a rather lethargic community.
In the very center of Seaville is the
Square, and in the center of the Square
is the antiquated Court House, an
unimaginative structure of red brick
walls and galvanized iron roof. 1t is
surrounded by magnificent oaks, and
contains court rooms and the Offices of
county officials.

Loves S Mystery
BY CHARLES HANSON 1OWNE

Who looks for Love as something
Devoid of thongs of pain,
Knows not the rose is Redeemed
Because of stinging rain;
Knows not that every cedar
Is stronger for the storm;
That the thick SHOWS of winter
Keep roots and tendrils warm.
Oh, it were better, wiser
To shut no sorrow out;
To take the richest moments
Along with those of doubt;
To blend the high and noble
With less deserving stuff. -.
If Love were white perfection,
Love would not be enough!

METCALF AND
 THINNING SET ALLEY MARKS
Ringers Wreak Devastation Among Pins at Elks
 Last Evening

Spiking rumors that he had lost his foretime skill with his big black ball, Frank Metcalf hung up a rec ord for the current tourney in show ing the Ringers how this bowling business should be done, last night at the Elks' alleys.
 Hanging together l97, 236, and a 213, Metcalf totaled 646 to equal Fred Jennings set total for the tourney. But Metcalf was not the only record roller of the night. Art Henning, opening up with ten strikes for 265 game, the highest of the year, bettering by three pins the mark his brother had set in the first tourney. Also, Martin Lavenik and A. R. Duncan backed up Met calf well enough in his peak mo- ment to smash the team game mark set by the Mustangs with game total of 654
 Other rollers had high-scoring in mind too with the result that two scores besides Metcalf's better the 600 mark; Mike Ugrin hanging up a 627 which included three games all over 200, and w. s. Pullen, rolling a 221, 216, and a 180 for a 617 total. In all, ten games were rolled that topped the two century mark.
 When all figures were added, it was found that the Zebras, with Metcalf's aid, and despite a Is spot accorded their opponents, had ta- ken the odd game from the Alliga- tors in the curtain-raiser. Mike Ug- rin and the Crocodiles also over came the Badgers in two out of three games, and Pullen, rolling alone for the Armadillos in the fi- nale, overcame the 20 pin spot giv- en Art Henning. the lone wolf of the Prairie Dogs, came out on top in two games.
 Although they can hardly hope to equal the Ringers exploits of last night, quartette of dauntless Oriole trios will shoot at a few marks of their own on the Elks' maple this evening At 7:30 o'clock the Waxwings will square away against the Mocking Birds, and at 8:30 the Bluebirds will fire at the Towhees.

Reports from the boston Bees training camp in St. Petersburg, Fla, have it that Manager Bill McKechnie is mobilizing powerful pitching staff.
 The squad lists IT twirlers. Six rate special attention-Lou Fette. Vic Frasier, Bill Harris, Ira Hut crimson, Bill Perrin, Jim Turner All six are wearing Bee uniforms
 for the first time. Last season
 they pitched regularly in fast mi
 nor leagues. Their combined win lose total for '36 was 103 victories, 54 defeats--a percentage of 656.
 If they all have just as good won and lost percentage this year, Bos-
 ton will win the National League pennant with plenty to spare. No National league team since the New York Giants of 1912 has won 1 103 games in one season. Last season the Giants copped with cnly
 92 victories.
 From Tough Territory In this Big Six combination came nne-horse league, the record
 would not mean a thing. Such is not the case.
 Fette's 25 wins against de- feats, and Hutchinsonson's 13 and Is, were for St. Paul. Harris 15-1o were for Buffalo. Turner's 18-13 were for Indianapolis. Frasier's IA r helped Dallas. Perrin's 18-3 made him the toast of New Orleans. Anyone knows there are plenty of real hitters in the American As Isociation, the International League, the Texas League and the South |ern. Not so formidable as the lads will face in the National League, but real hitters. none-t the-less. You should subtract from those 103 vic- tories when you're figuring what the group may do in 1937 How much you cannot guess. Lonesome McFayden The Boston squad contains just one pitcher who worked as many as 10 complete games for the Bees last year. He is Danny McFayden, win her of IT in '36. If Manager Mo- Kechnie hopes to get anywhere in the National race he will have to organize new varsity staff. The Big Sox look like promising nue. leus.
 The Bees are trying Vince Di Maggie, elder brother of Joe Di Maggie, last years American league freshman star. Vince has had four years of coast league baseball, but is only g years old.
 Vince may not be the sensation Joe was-still he is quite ball. player. Dutch Reuther claims Vince has better throwing arm than Brother Joe. He is a long range hitter and may break up many game for the Bees.
