her cigaret before she ground it out
on the ashtray beside her and sat
up with a suddenly determined air
that brought a laugh from the
crowd.
"Alice always goes for every
man." Dinah explained quite mat
ter-of-factly and with no trace Of
malice, and the woman smiled
agreement.
'I like them tall, dark and mys-
terious looking" she drawled in a
throaty voice.
Jim bowed stiff1y. cat your serv-
ice, madam" he offered, and they
all laughed again.
They were a merry, carefree
gang, Iona found, as she sat beside
Dinah's chair and smiled at the
antics Of the Jones boy, who was
trying to draw her out on the dance
floor. Before the party began, the
rug had been rolled up neatly, and
beneath it, the polished floor lay
bare and cleaning. They had be-
gun to dance to the unsatisfactory
music Of a radio program while
they waited for Pinky to put in his
appearance. He was, it seemed, un-
accountably late. .
''He promised to be here at nine" {"
Dinah told them, frowning a little.
II can't imagine what's keeping
him."
Hell be fined if he's not here in
fifteen minutes" Bobby Graves
consulted a wrist watch firmly.
''The only piano player in town and
he has to be late. It's outrageous!
We ought to drink up all the punch
cn him." He suited action to words
by draining his glass and going
back for more. When he returned
he had an inspiration.
"You look like pianist" he told
Iona. "Bet you're holdin' out on
us. Come on, give us a tune"
"Sorry," Iona laughed. I'm
afraid I'm not musician. I can
play 'Chopsticks' and "A 'Maiden's
Prayer but you can't dance to
those"
''How about the husband 2" He
crossed to Jim hopefully.
To Lona's surprise, Jim allowed
himself to be coaxed to the piano.
Ushered by the irrepressible Bobby,
he draped his long frame on the
bench with half apologetic glance
at her amazed face.
'"They laughed when I sat down
at the piano, especially my wife,"
he bantered. "You see, I've never
told her about my past"
Ladies and gen-tlemenw Bobby
insisted upon ceremonious. II am
ex-TRE-ME-ly happy to present to
you the attraction of the evening.
We have with us tonight in the
flesh, real, live, ,ecowboy singer
and yodeler, who will entertain you
with some genu-INE songs and
er-yodels, fresh from the range.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-03-18

Cowboy, do your stuff"
Jim cleared his throat oste1liS4
tiously as the room fell into an in
terested silence, and Iona felt
panicky. He had never told her he
could sing. What if he were only
joking and they had taken him
seriously? 1t would be embarrass-
ing.
He grinned at her teasingly and
in an exaggerated western accent,
culled from the stage and radio,
drawled a slow, How'd We do,
pardners. Seem that you-all
crave entertainin' ah'll do ma level
best t. give you some Of tn old
songs of the range. But it's been a
long time-a most mighty long.
time sence ah been back out where
men is men an women knows their
place. An ah kinda fergets tn old
songs, so yoll have t. fergive me
eff ah amt jest up t. snuff. Ah'll
do the best ah kim" His fingers
had strayed into a low obligato as
he spoke the last few sentences. In
clear, baritone voice that was al
most incredible to Iona, he began
to measure out plaintive strain.
Home, home on the range! Where
the deer and the antelope play.
Where never is heard, diScour-
aging word
He sang it sadly, hesitantly,
breaking little, as if it revived
memories that hurt, and a hushed
silence hung over the ROOM. When
he had finished, he sat for a mo-
ment, his head down, his hands
still on the keys, and Iona felt her
heart go out to him suddenly, as it
had never done before. He looked
homesick, and she never had real
lied before how much adrift he
was. She had been too busy with
her own troubles to consider his.
He looked up at the crowd, then,
and smiled, and the spell was brok-
en-. Applause broke out, and they
sWarmed over to the piano, beg
ging for more.
"Why didn't you tell me ?"
Dinah reproached Iona from her
chair, and Iona shook her head
laughingly.
"He's shy about it." she ex-
planned, unwilling to admit that
she, herself, hadn't known.
"Give me my boots and saddles!"
he was rollicking out now, laugh
ing, breaking occasionally into an
unearthly peal of yodeling that
sent the listeners into gales of
laughter. For a full half hour they
kept him at it. He went through
the whole repertoire of cowboy
ditties from I'm a lone cowhand'
to the plaintive Empty saddles in
the old corral" Crowded against
the piano they sang with him, like
a group of carefree children.

CONVICT SLAUGHTER
FOR AND
ENRAL ALPN&SA rAAA/

she had taken part In any social
gathering. Her last real party had
been in Bridgewater before the
thing that had turned her life aWry
had happened.
She had been escorted that night
by the very man her father had to
shoot, she recalled now, with q
shudder. It had been a troubled
gathering, alive with the undercur-i
rents of what was to come. Dlsmay
took hold of her as she thought
back over it. Ought she to be SO
free with these people here in
Brighton? Was it, as she had al
ways felt since those old black
days, too dangerous, after all, to,
have friends?
Oh, but things were different,
now, she told herself. Such
thoughts were morbid. Nothing
dreadful was going to happen to
her again. She was done with hor-
ror. Listening to Jim's even breath
ing beside her, she succeeded in
pushing back the memories that
for moment had crowded into her
mind. Pulling herself again into a
pleasant sense of expectation, she
finally drifted off to sleep.
She was soon to learn that when
Dinah said party she meant just
that. The next two days were
furry of preparations. Not that
there was to be anything elaborate
or costly about the affair. 1t was,
of necessity, simple. But it seemed
that here in Brighton, as in all
small towns, there was a definite
routine to be followed in getting
together 1.-The crowd"
First there was a succession of
telephone calls. 1t seemed to Iona
that Dinah had sat with her ear
glued to the receiver for a solid
morning when she announced, a.
nally, that everyone had been

cepted. The most important of the
acceptances was, Iona was as
sured, that of "Pinky" Malone. He,
it developed, was the local piano
player. Without him there would be
no dancing. The music being as
sured, there was the matter of re-

Chicken salad" Dinah pro-

They'll expect it. With hot biscuits
and pickles"
why, that's a meal, Dinah"
Iona laughed. 'They must eat
we'll in this town."
'There must be punch, too.
Bobby Graves will bring over the
stuff and spike it at the last min

Mothers dry, you know. She
won't serve any drinks. But, of
course, if she doesn't know"
"But, Dinah, if she Objects"
"Oh, she just pretends she doesn't
know. It's great joke. Bobby al.
ways mixes the punch and nobody
asks what lie puts into it. You see,
all our mothers are dry. This is a
dry town. That is, they vote dry,

thing needed that's not here, you're
to tell me. It's the first time we've
rented these rooms, you know, ano
1 was little afraid the equipment
might not be adequate
Its perfect" Iona assured her
you're not to worry about us.
Mrs. Morriss. We're going to like
it here. I feel lucky to find such a
place."
I'm glad you've come" The
woman's eyes went to Dinah's
bright head and back to Iona.
''Dinah, here, has been telling me
about you," she offered. 1T will
make me feel easier to know there's
someone in the house when Pm
away. Someone she likes having"
I'm glad Iona will have COM
pany, too," Jim said, then, and he
and Mrs. Morriss looked at each
other in sudden understanding that
made Iona feel very young; as if
she and Dinah were two children
who needed to be cared for.
"They talk as if we were a couple
of infants" Dinah broke in, laugh
ing impishly in mock disgust.
You are" Jim shot back at her,
and she laughed in earnest. Neither
of you are past the spanking
age"
"Just you try spanking usw she
bantered, and Iona knew that
Jim's swift acceptance of her on

about that party we were talking
of at lunch," she brought out, then,

to raise the crowd on the telephone.
There's nothing going on that

"It's fun" Dinahs blue eyes
snapped. II love having parties.
Besides, it isn't any trouble for me.
I don't have to work. I just sit
here in this chair and do the boss

Jim suddenly.
slightly" he admitted. May 1
engage the first dance with you
now? That is, if you must have
dancing"
Dinah's laugh was silvery tin
kle. It's nice of you to be so gal
lant," she told him. But you can't
dance with a wheel chair"
They went on that way for the
rest of the visit. AS if they had
known each other always, Iona
thought, as she lay that night in
the old-fashioned bed. It pleased
her to think that Jim liked Dinah
and that Dinah approved of him,
a pleasure that amused her when
she recalled that this morning she
hadn't even known Dinah existed.
And now, here she was, lying
awake, thrilled because of a party
promised her by stranger.
She was more excited over this
party than she had thought it was
possible to be, over anything so
trivial. 1t had been so long since
