CHAPTER SIXTEEN

THERE HAD BEEN a crash,
Iona remembered, as she came
back to consciousness. She had
grabbed the wheel Of the car from
the hands of the escaping convict
who had kidnapped her, and they
had crashed. She sat bolt upright
as full possession Of her senses
came to her. She found she was
back in the prison hospital. The
warden, his head bandaged, was
standing over her. Beside him was
the doctor.
Daddy she asked, fearfully.
The warden couldn't meet her
ewes. "Your father is-all right,
Miss Alderman" he brought out.
His eyes looked sad. You're not
to worry. You see, he-he-" He
faltered, and she read the truth IN
his face.
"He's dead" she whispered.
"Daddy's dead. didn't get here
In time. Did he ask for me?"
HE wouldn't have known you,
Miss Alderman" cut in the doc
tors smooth voice. "He passed di-
rectly from the delirium you saw
into a coma, and never rallied. You
could have done nothing. He was
happy in the thought you would
never see him-here."
He's gone. Daddy's gone. And
wasn't here!" She turned her heac
away from them toward the wall,
the tears yelling.
For a moment they allowed her
to cry silently. May I-see him ?"
she asked, then. You'll let me do
that much?'
The doctor nodded and, carefully
they helped her to her feet. For
getful of her own bandaged head
and the bruises that covered her
stiff body, she shook them off at
the door of the room where she had
kept her lonely and useless vigil
that endless afternoon. Consider
ately they allowed her to go in
alone.
He was laying in the bed just
as she had left him, the sheet
drawn up, now, covering his face.
With gentle hands she pulled it
down.. He looked infinitely more
peaceful than when she had seen
him last. In death the lines the past
few years of life had traced in his
sensitive face had smoothed out. He
looked-at rest. AS if he were glad.
Daddy" she cried out, and sank
to her knees beside the stilled
form. "Oh, Daddy" The sobs she
had been keeping in check came
out then, in burst of loneliness.
Loneliness that was touched with
a sudden fierce hatred Of this place
gray walls, the bars, the measured
life that was being lived about her,
the doctor and his SNUG manners,
even the warden, whose careless
ness, she felt, had been responsible,
somehow, for the position in which
she now found herself. She hated
them all Hated them for what they
had done, been forced to do, to the
stilled form before her. She want
ed, suddenly, more than anything
else, to get him away from here
She wanted to take him home-to
Bridgewater. To the old church
yard where her mother slept
Someway, somehow, she'd take him
back!
Everyone tried to be kind to her
during the next few days. So kind
Iona felt, sometimes, like crying
out against the very solicitude
with which she was being Piled,
now that it was too late, now that
Daddy was no longer here to see.
1t wasn't fair
The prison doctor himself saw
to the arrangements for taking her
father back home to Bridgewater.
and Mrs. Lewis the warden's wife,
insisted upon making that last sad
Journey with her. She was a moth

Tacoma Teams Triumph in
Intercity Pin Contests

The biggest news Of the Inter
city Classic league bow ing
matches at the Broadway alleys
Sunday night was the two-game
victory which Cammarano Rainers
scored over Ideal Alleys
The foregoing statement Ia ae-
cording TO Bill Herdman. Tacoma
veteran. and captain OF the Cam
mafano team IN the fast lnteroity
loop.
Hordman further pointed out
that the victory which Alt Heidel-
hergs won over Tom Smith $
Greenwoods. and the league lead
ers captured all three games, was
no longer an item of importance.
inasmuch as II has become a regu-
lar occurrence for the Brewers TO
do that little trick
His attention called TO the three
game victory which Pacific Match
won over Rainier Exports. Herd
man passed that off with a shrug
of his massive shoulders and de-
parted with the words on his lips
and belief in his heaft that the
Cammarano victories were the top
headliners o the Intercity play.
Tacoma teams were highly sue
cessful in their matches. at that.
Only one game was lost and that
WAS the lone setback suffered by
the Cammaranos
Individual scoring honors went
TO Ted Tsdich the leagues undis-
puted leader, who rolled 20+ 23o
and 213 for 653 total. Scotty
Murdoch. Pacific Match star, was
close behind Ted with GAG, includ-
ing big 245 game.
Jack Anshutz was the top man
of the Seattle trundlers. He rolled
173. 221 and pa, a total OF 63s.

Ryder Golf Cup
Meet Here Next
BY HENRY McLEMORE

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The
big gentlemen who operate the
Professional Golfers association

they aren't quite ready to make
the announcement but the Ryder

year will be played here.
The date will ne sometime In

learned this yesterday when !
ran into Walter Hagen, who has
captained all Of the American
Ryder cup teams Of the past,
and who will serve in the same
capacity this year.
In perfect condition and
camels hair coat, the Haig was
giving the layout a careful
study. Reluctant at first to give
any reason for his interest in
the course. he finally admitted
that it was being given serious
consideration for the matches.
AS I got it, the only snag the
Ponte Nedra officials and the +.
G. A. heads have run into is one
Of money. The y. G. A needs
about $4,000 10 operate the
RYDER cup matches without fear
Of loss. and that is the guaran-
tee il has asked. The unof-
ficisl report is that Ponte Nedra
thinks a $4,000 guarantee
would be sufficient
Hagen thinks the Ponie Ncdra
course great test Of golf.
Long. eAacting and constantly
swept by stiff wind off the
bordering ocean, II calls for
every shot. The greens are big
and undul latin man made
mounds stipple it, narrow fair
WAYS; acres OF sand wait to
catch the of-line shot. and In
my round saw enough water
hazards to house every fish this
side of the Mississippi
The naming Of Ponts Necrs
would be a very sporting gesture
toward the English team. The
English players are al home by
the sea. Their games are adapt
ed 70 links where the winds play
tricks as they do a. Ponte

tors real chance IN win on
this side. something that would
be very good for golf.
