seems unreasonable to believe that
the proposed counter offensive will
get very ar. In the first nlace, 1t is
doubtful if the StG:e ABC Asso-
citation can DC persuaded; to ask the
county commissioners to call the

highly doubtful that the commas

ABC group asked for them. And in
the third place, there is nothing at
all to indicate that the AEC's would
get anything out of the campaign
except a series of very thorough
thraShings.
Just the same, the idea is sure to
be presented to the ABC meeting
your reporter has entirely reliable
information to that effect.
The ABC situation, as far as pos

Caroline had been engaged at the

with Linda. 1t was nice to have

since frocks like the kind she was

Rob, busy with plans for some
city engineering, came by once in
while to drag both girls out to
dinner, amused at Linda's insist
ence that she escape to dress on
nights when she and Ronnie were
playing.
Tonight, going into her rooms,
Linda heard the telephone ringing.
Caroline was not home. The fire
was not lighted and the living room
was cold. The hands of the clock
pointed to a quarter of ten. Linda
said hello into the transmitter.

If it did, then it was not real NO,
Linda told herself in the amazed
moments that followed the reading
of the feature, she had no reason
for fear. In a certain sense she was
relieved. That was odd. IL was
cowardly, she reflected. Loving
Ronnie as she did, even a little
while ago she had been afraid TO
interfere with the web the fates
were spinning.
But she put all philosophy aside
as the real knowledge came home.
Konnie was bound to job and the
lob put her out for long time.
When the telephone call came her
voice was light and casual, though

It worked. And the mans relief
was almost humble, as it came
across the midnight city.
