call The third time he reused up.
Through the slanting curtain of snow
he saw figure floundering toward
him. He got out. The man was nearly
exhausted. his face frostbitten.
Guy got inside the car and turned
o. the heater full, speeding up the
motor. Presently the man looked at
him wild-eyed. MY wife! She's sick.
We're stuck-up the road"
How far?"
Don't know. Mile, I guess"
Guy thought quickly. There was
the shack. Apparently the man had
passed it in the storm. 1t must be
close by. At any rate, it was their
only chance.
You stay here. There's a shack
nearby. At least there should be. I'll
find it. Doesn't matter if I get lost.
I'll do the best I can"
A FTERWARD Guy wondered how
he'd found the shack or what it
was that kept him going when the de-
sire to lie down and sleep and forget
everything was so strong. 1t was all
like dream-the way he'd stumbled
against the shack itself, found the door
and fell inside. He remembered that
the wind and cold were shut out.
Then he remembered the sick woman.
The place he'd found was a road
camp. There was a stove and wood
and a few cans of food or the shelf.
He got fire going and placed water
on to boil. Then he lunged out into
the storm again. fought his way down
He half carried, half dragged the
woman up to the shack and left her
there near the stove while he went for
the man.
The storm lasted two days. 1t took
another day for a rescue party to get
through. They took the three of them
down to Jackson and to hospital
and fed. Their he went to sleep.
When he awoke Mr. Moore was
standing by his bed. Feeling better,
son? Good How about story on
your experiences? That man you
saved was Senator Ostrand. The lady
wasn't his wife at all. See what
mean? You want job and we want
a story, because Ostrand is on the op-
position ticket. Here's your chance,
boy"
Guy closed his eyes. We'll, why
note" he thought. After ALL man
has to live, has to look out for him
self. Why not? Why not? The
thought kept pounding against his
brain Then he opened his eyes.
Sorry" he said Sorry. That isn't
the kind of Job I'm after"

young men sometimes become pretty
wild and desperate in their thoughts.
Guy remembered Mr.. Moore's cynical
smile. Sorry. son, we haven't a place
for you. Full up. Reporters are easy
to get these days"
But not good reporters. I've had
experience, Mr.. Moore. I'm a good
writer. I always scrape up a new
angle to story that makes interest
ing reading Besides" There was
desperation in Guys tone, because
Nj Moore had begun Shuff1ing papers
on his desk when 1 wrote inquiring
about job, you said you'd be glad to
talk to me-"
He had driven all the way up from
Denver 900 miles-because Mr..
Moore had said he'd talk to him. 1t
had taken nearly his last dollar to buy
enough gas to make the trip. Now he
had nothing left but the 5-year-old
car, which, on a sale, might bring
$50. Thirty dollars! just enough to
get him back home, from which he'd
started out six months ago. determined
to land job on a newspaper, Back
home. A failure. Nothing to show.
Hungry and lonesome and discouraged
Guy crouched over the wheel, squint-
ing to pierce the ever-increasing heavy
curtain of snow. He knew a place in
Denver where he could sell the car
The thing to do was to get to Denver
as quickly as possible.
Toward noon Guy understood why
the filling station man had warned
him. The snow formed an impenetra-
bic wall. The wind was rising and it
was colder Twice he thought he was
stuck, but somehow he managed to
keep going. He hadn't passed car
in hours.
THE thing to do, of course, was turn
back. But the road was too mar
row. There wasn't a chance. Keep
going ahead or stop and wait out the
storm. Foolish to do that. Probably
last four days. He remembered sud-
denly a deserted shack he'd passed
when coming over the pass yesterday.
If he could reach that-how far was it,
anyway?
He leaned forward to wipe frost from
the windshield, releasing his grip on
the wheel. At the same moment the
front tire struck some object on the
road, skidded sidewise. pumped up
against something soft and stopped.
The rear wheels ground angrily, but
without avail. The front of the car
was suddenly embedded in drift.
Guy got out to inspect the damage,
bending against the wind. Not a
chance of moving it. He climbed
back behind the wheel. Well, here it
was. Foolish to try walking back

$1,000 EXEMPTION
ON HOMES URGED
Friendship Citizens Group
Told Law Would Add
to Prosperity.

A homestead exemption law for the
District was urged by the Friendship
Citizens Association at meeting last
night in the Janney School.
Martin Cook pointed out that a
homestead exemption ''is one of the
best ways to stimulate construction Of
homes and thus contribute to pros
perity." Mr.. Cook, adding that the
stability of community depends pri-
marily on the home owners, declared
the exemption would distribute taxa
tion more equitably. since the home
owner pays heavier share of taxa
ton than the man who rents an apart
ment. This law is one of the best
means of securing the return of proper
taxation to those less fortunate in the
economic SCALE" he said, adding that
although a man who buys a home
may only have paid a small amount
down. he is assessed on the full
amount.
$1,000 Exemption Suggested.
An exemption of $1,000 was sug-
gested by the group, with a larger
amount put into effect when other
means OF taxation are found.
The association reaffirmed its op-
position to the rezoning of certain
residential A restricted areas to less
restricted or commercial areas.

tested the proposed rezoning of three

Tony Santora's two hoops in the overtime period gave the Aviglianese 21-19 victory over the top,favorite Tigers in the feature game of the North End 'Y" Senior league last night. In the other games of the evening the Triangles trimmed the Colonials 24-18 and the Wolves swamped the Trojans by the amaz- ing score of 5O-4.
 The er-Aviglianese game was a nip and tuck affair all the way with the score being knotted 7-11 all at the end of the 1st and 2nd quar- ters respectively. The Tigers went ahead 15-13 at the close of the 3rd canto only to have the Italian lads come back to tie the score IT all when the regulation game whistle blew. Joe Calentano started the ex- tra session with 8 hoop but Santora sank two beautiful shots to sew up the tussle as 250 fans cheered. Pete Toilette played a fine floor game for the losers. The score:
