do when man has lied you into the chair.

time each morning, hunting job, and got
home at six-thirty.
Clem shuddered, and clammy sweat broke
out all over him as he recalled that night. He
had smudged his face. pulled cap over his
eyes, and clutched the painted wood that he
hoped looked like gun. He waited until

another fellow sitting in the parlor, on the
sofa beside Estelle She had blushed when she
greeted him. ..Clem," she had said, II want
YOU to be the first to know. We are - are
going to be married in June" Estelle had
tried to console him:
"Remember Clem. if could marry two
men you'd be the second
So he had married Alice. What a swell wife
Alice had been. And two marvellous babies.
It must have been in 1896. just after Junior
was born, when he had told Alice that he was
sure to be made manager of the store. Why,
he could call by name everyone in the neigh
borhood that ever came into the place.
It had been toss-up between George Mat
son and himself. the manager SAID, wnen ne
broke the news to Clem that he wasn't gong
p to be his successor. He hadn't known how to
tell Alice. He and Alice had already spent
the extra five bucks, ten times over. More
cream for the baby, new radio, twin beds
and swell baby carriage.
Alice had taken the news with her usual
cheerv smile. Never mind she had said, he
had come second anyway. Second. Ouch,
how that hurt. He couldn't explain to Alice
what the word was coming to mean to him.
Glen turned from the window to listen.

Clem knew he had to die, but what made it
so tough was that his Jinx had bounded him
to the last, and the long straw had gone to
Magma. Midnight struck somewhere, and
there was scuffle in the next cell, then noises
as if body were being dragged along the
corridor. Magma was calling for the warden.
More voices and curses. There was crack
through which he knew he could see into the
corridor, but he didn't want to see. His whole
frame shook with dry sobs. Waiting was hell.
Why couldn't he have been first just once?
Oh, God. why not just this once?
Akey ratified in the door. He must have lost
consciousness What time was it? He tried to
raise himself from the cot. He couldn't get up
His knees buckled. There was one guard. but
who was the man with him? They were
smiling Damn funny time to smile. Was the
other man the warden? What was he saying?
Lewis" 1t was the warden talking. Ma
CANA confessed before he went to the chair.
I've put in a long distance call for the Governor.
Maganas statement should save you. I've
ordered stay of execution, and rexieve.
Papers may be here in the morning. Buck up
Lucky we did not send you first" -.
Ten O'Clock the next morning Clem was
outside the gate. In an hour he'd see Alice
and the babies. Glen hurried to the station,
fairly running to the gate. There was fat
fellow running too. Clem'd beat him to the
turnstile. But the fat man got through first,
jostling Glen. Glen laughed out loud.

The one wearing the white coat
staggered to the sidewalk,
shrieking. As he reached the
street he had collapsed, clutch
ing at his chest. A burly fellow
wearing a half-mask was
emptying the till. The night
air seemed full of whistles and
sirens. People came running
from every direction. The guy
with the mask slipped on the
slushy walk. Two men pounced
on him and held him until the
prowler car skidded to a stop.
Startled, Glen had forgotten
what he was there for, until
someone shouted:
This way. Quick! Here's
the other one," and then they
grabbed him.
In court, no one had be-
lieved his story. Both had
plead mot Guilty" and each
had accused the other. The
police hadn't found a gun on
Magma. He had tossed it into
a snowdrift. What was it
Magma had said to him when
the judge sentenced them?
Keep your trap closed, stupid.
We won't neither of US burn.
With this mouthpiece of mine
I've beaten tougher raps.
Clem turned as he heard a
key rattle in the door. What
the hell! 1t was his Jinx. He
couldn't even come first when
he tried a hold-up. The guard
came in, and was holding out
two straws. What game is this?
he numbly wondered. What
was the guard saying?
Lewis, you got a date for
just after midnight. So has that
pal of yours in the next cell.

goes first. Draw your straw"
This is a hell of a game,
thought Clem. But mechanic
ally he reached out and chose.
Tough luck, mate" he
could hear the guard saying.
You've drawn the short one.
But what's an extra half a
hour to wait? Chin up!'
The trusty in Death Corri-
dor brought in Clem's meal.
To his surprise he could swal-
low it. His thoughts went back
to Alice and the kids. What
did they have to eat? It had
been good to see Alice that
morning. The priest had told
her she would get his insurance.
Her tears had wet his coat.
The guard had slipped the
door open a moment so he
could kiss her. Alice was a good
wife. Widow, almost - had

u methodically six steps
q - from door to window,
then six measured steps from
barred window to iron door, he
felt numbly resigned. When a
fellow never had any luck moth
ing could be done about it. Life
was that way. Now he was
twenty-six, and he had always
missed out on the first prize,
at least since he was seventeen.
Seventeen. That would be
back in 1929, when his father
died and Glen learned that he
couldn't complete High School
unless he won the scholarship.
1t must have been about the
end of May when the principal
told him that Joe Bogart had
won. He had felt pretty low,
even when Old Baldy had said:
You did we'll, Glen, coming
second. Your mother should be
proud of you"
When he quit High School it
hadn't been hard to get a job,
one in a chain grocery. Twelve
dollars a week at first, and then
he had worked up to $3.50.
Saved $500, too. Not bad for a
kid. But it had all gone. and
more, on his mothers last
operation. Just about then -
must have been early in 1893
- things got tough, and for a
while he hadn't eaten regu-
larly.
Awry smile contorted Clem's
face. Il must be close to seven
o'clock. In a few minutes he'd
be sure of a real meal. Soup,
steak, the whole works. He
would take maybe an hour to
eat it. His last meal and then
- the chair.
Clem stopped at the window
and gripped the bars. If it
hadn't been for that guy next
door he might not be looking
through bars. He had started
out on his first stickup, but
Magma was there first. Why in
Heavens name wouldn't Ma
CANA come clean and clear him?
From the window, by twist
ing his neck, he could just see
fellow doing skywriting. Must
be a swell job, out there. sky
writing. but dangerous. What
was he spelling out? The first
five letters had no more shape
than a cloud. Maybe he was
advertising B. and G. Cash

tried out skywriting once.

Strictest DecOrum Observed.
The whole affair is conducted
along traditional lines of strictest
decorum. In the old days it was
the only opportunity of girls and
men to see and estimate each other
before their families arranged mar
. riages. Here that necessity exists
to a larger extent than in such
metropolises as Buenos Aires.
The young men are not supposed
to speak to the girls, although it is
permissible to bow, nor are they
allowed to meet girl during the
passeo, or to walk with her, or con-
duct her home.
How does a young man meet a
girl he sees at a passed." we asked
our host, native of the city who
had conducted us about the plaza.
An elderly man, and the father of
large family, he laughed and shook
his head:
"Ah, there are many ways-I
story. The young men of today
know more ways, I have no doubt,
than We old ones.
What passes between these young
people, 1 don't know. A sign,
word, a glance? Who can say? A

hair? Who am I to say that 1t
