long battle of wits to save Norris

mass criminal attack on the two white
women. Twice death sentences in the
cases have been reversed by the Unit

aside by trial Judge.
The defense had placed two witness

~, then seeing the growing re-
sentiment in Mikes eyes he went
on quickly, ooh, I know. You

working at top speed in this pro-
fession. That old alibi is no good
any more, Mike. You aren't work.

trying to drown your sorrows or
pickle yourself in brine"
What do you want me to do,
make a bid to Abe and set myself
up in the advertising business? If
I had any money, I wouldn't give
it to that lemon squeezer." Mike
was glad to bring the subject back
to an impersonal point. But Sandy
was not so easily deferred.
Forget Abe. He's left the field
open to decent advertising men by
folding up. I only hope a few of
the other unethical birds follow
suit. But can't you see any en-
couragement for yourself in his
actions ?"
"Nope. Or, say-do you want
me to be an ambulance chaser 2"
"Why not? Acme has lost
about a dozen accounts, some of
them pretty good ones. Why don't
you comb the straw out of your
hair and get after them? There
are a couple think you're par
ticularly qualified to land. That is
if you buck up and stay bucked."
"Boy, I'd be Sitting Buck him.
self if I could put my hands on
some honest cash. Do you really
think I've got a chance?" Uncon-
sciously Mike Strengthened up,
squared his shoulders and began
to face the future with something
like interest. He had hit stretch
of bad luck and, as Sandy ac-
cused, too many bad friends had
helped him while away the time.
Sandy drew a sigh Of relief when
he saw Mike was not going to re-
sent his interference. He wanted
to help the likeable chap.
"It's a setup," he said to give
him further confidence. "You
should go first to Mcdonald over
at the Bancroft hotel. His prob
lem is mostly publicity, and he
goes for radio in big way"
Right down my alley!" boasted
Mike, then turned in perplexity to
Sandy. "But you, why don't you
have try for it? Doesn't look
to me as if another job or two
would be amiss around here"
Sandy shook his head. 1.-TWO
reasons: First, I'm working on a
competitive account; second, I'm
not soswe1 equipped on the radio
end of it. And that's in spite Of
the little initiation I got when I
tried to pinch hit for you'll" Mike,
too, smiled wryly when he reinem-
bered the disastrous results of
that brief experience over the air.
"Well, I'm glad that it's ethics
and not pity that made you turn
the job over to me-" he said, cher
ishing his self-respect. I might
stand for one, but the other-!"
Forget it," Sandy said gruff1y.
Lets call Mcdonald and find out
if he'll see you. He's pretty
good friend Of mine" And Sandy
reached a long arm after the tele-
phone. A brief conversation and
he turned to Mike. "He's going
to be at the Trocadero tonight
with party of friends. Asked
me to bring you in, he's got some
thing in mind. Looks like it's hot,
or he wouldn't want to see you
right away"
Mike grasped his hand firmly

and with an embarrassed grin
picked up his hat and started to
leave. "Well, I'll go home and coax
the moths out of my other suit.
D'you think they'd like to gnaw
holes in doughnuts for a change? 2"
He had closed the door behind him,
when he popped his head back in
again. "Tll meet you at the Troc
about 1O!"
Sandy breathed sigh of relief.
If he could only straighten out his
own problems in the same easy
fashion! But women and love
were ticklish subjects. There's
only one thing I'm sure of, and
that is that love Marcia he
thought miserably. "Once I was
jealous Of her ambitions and Of
any man who dared look at her;
now I'm letting her success stand
between us. Maybe I've had the
wrong bunch, to let her have her
fill of it. Maybe I should have
another try to win her over?"
Fearing to make even one more
mistake in this peculiar comedy of
love errors, he paced the floor ner-
vously. Looking out over the city
that was still sweltering in the late
afternoon sun, he decided once
more to discuss the future with
Marcia. Calling the Warren pub
fishers, he was Informed, miss
Madden is working at home; we
are not permitted to give her tele-
phone number" Sandy banged up
the receiver. Did they think they
could keep him from Marcia that
easily? Quickly he called the
familiar number to her apartment,
and a pleased smile quirked his
lips as he heard her voice.
"Ah, Marcia!" he exclaimed
boyishly. cts been so long since
I've heard your voice. How are
you, darling?"
Slightly wilted. And you?"
she said almost formally. "I hear
you've been dreadfully busy"
Sandy thought she referred to

ing she believed him practically
engaged to Paula. Eyes, Just

said, and didn't want to admit over
the telephone that he had purpose
ly stayed away to give her a fair
chance to enjoy her. success.
"How touching" she said sar-
castically. "How did you happen
to cali today
Sandy did not catch the sar-
casm in Marcia's voice, being too
engrossed in his own hastily
formulated plans. Marcia, I've
got to see you. Tonight. It must
be tonight. Can I pick you up?"
Marcia was puzzled at the exc
element in his voice, and WON
dered what he had to discuss Of so
much moment. For a second she
hoped wildly he meant to tell her
the stories about Paula were false,
then decided she was q sentimental
fool.
She forced her voice to be mat
ter-of- fact when she said, mot to-
night, Sandy. I'm going to the
Trocadero with Garrett Warren.
A sort Of special celebration" Az
she heard the disappointment in
his voice, she said brokenly.
Another time?" and hung up the
phone.
What would Sandy say if she
admitted this party had been spe-
cially planned by Gary-wl1o hoped
she was finally going to say "yes'
to his proposal.

CHAPTER IS


MARCIA read the newspapers
and sighed. Unconsciously she
blamed Walt for the collapse of
the Acme company, for Abe had
followed his lead in looking for
"easy money. Never too scrupu-
lous, he had needed just the en-
encouragement Walt so slyly gave.
She hated to see the company she
had conscientiously helped to build
crumble into obscurity because of
mans greed.
Suddenly, she thought of Sandys
rough-and-tumble fight in that
office, fight which should have
served as a warning for both Abe
and Walt. A half smile crossed
her face as she remembered
lSandy's pride in administering that
beating, then abruptly it faded
away as she thought of Sandy
himself. She had not heard from
him in month, except for the two
little cards found in her mail box
when she had returned from Santa
Cruz. She thrust the paper from
her viciously as she thought of
Paula.
Sandy, who had hesitated to in
itrude upon Marcia during the
hectic days a month ago when her
success first became apparent, had
called twice at her apartment
while she was in the mountains
and had been informed she had
gone away for rest, Eat Garrett
Warren's cousins home. Deter
mined not to let his jealousy get
the better of him again, he had
merely left a card and hoped Mar
ola would call when she returned.
She had been home two weeks
and sent him no word, SO Sandy
reasoned she either was too en-
crossed in her own success, or her
love for him had dimmed. He was
so concerned with this worry that
he paid scant attention to the
newspaper screamers about Acme.
"Old Abe probably is feeling
Iaround already for some other
Ischeme or deal to make quick
money" he told Mike Borst who
happened to be Longing in his
Ioffice reading another newspaper
account. Then he laughed aloud
las another thought struck him.
@I'H bet the old boy is out right
now trying to sell what accounts
he has left. Too bad don't stand
ibetter in his good graces, might
have chance to buy in some new
business cheap"
Failing that, how would you
like to buy an almost new suit,
also cheap?"' Mike questioned
him. ''I seem to be at dead ends
just at this moment; nobody wants
a publicity man, and the radio sta
tons no longer crave to hear my
mellow voice."
Maybe they don't like that
whiskey tenor, young fella," Sandy
said thoughtfully. For a long time
he had wondered if he could find
an opportunity to help Mike, for
he had heard run1ors along the
row that the man was letting
drink interfere with his work.
"Aw,. I don't drink SO much"
Mike was embarrassed, then his
humor got the better of him. IT
can't afford to-"
"But the trouble with you, Mike,
you have too many bad friends
who are willing tc set you up to a
drink On any excuse. Why don't
you cut it out ?' he asked serious

So many people who don't eat bread
at home just stuff on it when dining
out. There may be more than one
reason for this. The bread at home
may not be quite the kind you might
like or then, while dining out, nice
hot rolls and mullins may be served,
and who can resist such deliciousness
as hot mullins? Very few men, any
wav. The idea of making mullins at
home makes many a good cook squirm.
She has the idea that such a thing
requires hours and hours of tedious
preparation. She probably used to sit
in the kitchen when she was girl
and watch her mother toll with old
fashioned ingredients and think that
when she grew up, there would be no
such work going on in her kitchen
Well, now days there seldom is such
work going on. In a jiffy there can
be the incest smelling, best looking
batch of hot mullins that can be mag
med. And will the family be pleas
ed? Well, what family isn't pleased
when treated in such grand fashion.

muffin recipes should be this one:
