CHAPTER XII

Kay volunteered to 60 downtown.
1t wasn't an easy decision and she
shrank from the unacceptable staring
and the behind-her-back comments:
There's Kay Forrest ;" First
time she's been out since Kinks fu-
neral ;" "She looks kind of drug
out :"
The new chintz curtains furnished
the excuse for the step which Kay
knew must be taken sooner or later.
Mrs. Forrest offered to accompany
her, but Kay said no. She preferred
to walk downtown alone. This time.
Then the next time would be easier;
her life would be one degree closer
to. normal. But she was startled
when a car pulled up alongside the
curb and a mans voice said,
"Mawnin' Kay"
She looked up into the ouizzical,
kindly eyes of Lee Mangin. judge of
probate for Beauregard County. She
said, Good morning, Judge"
The little old man cut off his mo-
tor and lowered his voice. 81 was
kind OF cravin' to talk to you little,
Kay"
Eyes, sir :"
Judge Mangin was not entirely at
ease. It's about somethin' that's

she inquired.

so / can't do that"
And then an idea came to her
an idea SO impulsively generous that
for the first time in weeks she ex-
perienced thrill of happiness. Here
at last was something she could do,
something essentially right emerg-
ing from background of so many
wrongs.
She reached Monument Square
and circled it. She entered the
White Star Hotel for the first time
since the fateful night of the dance
which she had attended as Kinks
guest. She ignored the approving
glances of the lobby loungers and
tried to appear unaware of the hum
of gossip. She went straight to the
little door with the gold-lettered in
scription:

For a Special Treat
Serve Hot Breads

Was there ever a family that
didn't adore hot breads? Biscuits
that melt in your mouth, mullins
that are feather-light and crusty and
full of flavor, or golden corn bread
with the tantalizing taste Of bacon
to make it even more delicious-all
these are special treats for hungry
family.

MISS SONIA HENKEL
Beautician

The room was empty save for
the long, slender figure of Babe seat
ed in white enamel chair and
toying aimlessly with nail-file.
They were the direct antithesis OF
each other, these two girls-one i'm
pulsively eager; the other coolly cal
culating.
Babe Henkel did not rise when
Kay entered the room. Her long
eyes narrowed and tiny spots of
natural color appeared beneath the
makeup. The nail-file bent into an
arc with additional pressure, and
her husky voice was hostile. She
said, what do you want?"
Surprisingly. Kay did not resent
the fierce antagonism. She was
deeply sorry for Babe, and so she
advanced bravely, hazel eyes meet
ing black ones without animosity.

achieve success with hot breads if
you'll follow just few basic rules.
A tested recipe, good ingredients,
accurate measurements, deft ham
ding, and the proper temperature
for baking are the factors of sue
cess.
II you've had difficulty with quick
breads that are coarse textured and
full of the long holes called ''tun-
nels" in all probability you've been
over-conscientious in mixing. Unless
otherwise specified, mix lightly and
only enough to blend the ingredients.
When you're making baking pow
der biscuits, remember that little
kneading goes a long way toward
making biscuits falzy and Light.
A simple recipe for baking pow
der biscuit is the starting point for
a variety of tempting breads. Make
"Pinwheels" by rolling out biscuit
dough to A-inch thickness, brushing
with melted butter, and spreading
generously with grated cheese, dew
lied ham, or thick jam. Roll up
the dough as for jelly-roll, cut in
slices, and bake in hot oven (425
degrees).

The seventh copy goes to Red Will
iams' Bon Ton Pool Room.
On this particular Tuesday after
noon the pictorial section fell into
the hands of a stalwart young man
named Ernie Watts. Mr.. Watts, be-
ing of limited education, bothered
not at all with those sections of the
New York paper which were devoted
to the printed word, but he reveled
in pictures and today he re-
tired into corner and turned the
pages idly.
Suddenly his feet came down to
the floor from the chair upon which
they had been perched. Mr.. Watts
said, very loudly, Hey Fellers-
looka heah!"
Mr.. Williams was staring with un-
usual interest, not untinctured by
excitement, at solid page of art
photography. These pictures, deli
cate in tone and texture and dis
tinctive for their composition, were
on a page bearing the caption:
CATHEDRAL GARDENS

By Christine Maynard
Mr.. Watts exclaimed, DAM if
jeff Butler wasn't tellin' the truth.
That's Kay Forrest sho' nuff."
Then somebody called, "Yonder
she goes now
All eyes turned toward the win
dow. They caught brief glimpse of
Kay, who was seated beside Bar
ney Hamilton in the front seat of his
car. In the rear seat were Marga-
ret Hamilton and Jim Owenby. and
they were headed east. Supper at
the Gardens -. and Kay's face
was bright and alive and beautiful.
One pool-room loafer said. with
forced humor. ''She CANT fool us
no mo-. We know what she really
looks like"
Mr.. Ernie Watts was chuckling.
He had a distorted sense of humor
and rather reckless courage. He
produced small pocket-knife and
commenced to slice into the page
of pictures. A howl of protest arose,
but Ernie raised his hand. "You-
all wait" he said. 'this'll be funny"
With meticulous care he cut from
the paper particularly impressive
Photographic study: the one in which
the beauty of Kay's figure was best
revealed. He pasted this on the
big plate-glass front window. Then
he took the little pot of white paint
-. the one Red Williams used for
decorating his inside mirror with
such Inscriptions as: All Sandwiches
10 cents +. and went outside,
followed by gaping and admiring
| crowd.
Ernie Watts was no lettering art
list, but his intentions were unrnis-
taxable and his execution clear
enough. Over the picture of the
Gardens-and Of Kay-he daubed a
few words:

in the shooting fray. He suffered
from a deep liberation OF the right
arm and left leg when Re was

the gunfire.
Information given police revealed
Lee had gambled with Pierce and
lost about seven dollars. Sometime
later Lee met Pierce on the street
and Pierce allsgedly made some
remarks about Lee being a fool and
losing his money Then Lee az
cused his fellow gambler Of cheat
ing during the game and winning
the money unfairly. An argument
then ensued in front Of a barber
shop at 5000 Hastings street
Patrolman Ro5crt Grenat ap-
peared just in time to disarm Lee
by taking his knife and warning the
men to separate and go in opposite
directions.
A short time later, so the story
goes, Lee returned 10 the barber
shop and saw Pierce Inside. He then
drew his 80 calibre Colt revolver
and tried TO open the barber shop
door which was locked. Apparently
to get revenge for
taunts Of being a fool and losing his
money, Lee allegedly fired one shot
through the door at Pierce who es-
capped out the back door Of the shop
with Lee still shooting at him.
At this time two police officers

his gun, Lee refused, and both
officers fired twice it was disclosed
