Columbus.

White Stockings, before the turn of
the century, Col. Callahan once re-
called, a teammate, Billy Sunday,

other fields. Mr.. Sunday later be-

She also knew Nthat the Martins
were q pace ahead Of the Dono-
vans socially. Still, Mike Donovan

richer than her father. The union
Of two such fortunes might not
entirely displease him.

Donovan, Daddy?" she repeated.
But Mr.. Martin did not hear.
The phone was ringing.
"For you, SIR" said the butler,
your office is calling"

petulantly, "will that office never
let you aIone?"
Business, my dear, business. It
all means more money to buy fine

He hurried out of the room.

pouted when he returned, "and

guess" Martin answered abb
stractedly. "Sorry, pet, I have to
rush off sooner than I expected"
He gulped his coffee. wen talk
about young Donovan another
time"
Lynda finished her breakfast
and went back to bed but she
could not rest. She had slept lit
tie the night before thinking of
Dan. She wanted to believe, more
than anything else in the world,
that Dan would marry her and
yet, in her heart of hearts, she
doubted the truth of his fathers
words. Tossing on her bed, she
dug her beautiful long pointed
fingernails into the palms of her.
little hands. Maybe Dan didn't
want to marry her, but after all,
he might not have much to say
about it. His father was on her
side, which was something. A tap
on the door broke in on her
thoughts.
"What is itP" she called.
"Mr. Donovan, Miss Lynda" the
butler said.
"Mr. Daniel Donovan?" She
jumped out of bed.

cried. Help me into something

Waiting for Lynda, Mike Dom

formulating his plans. Not yet
fully recovered from the quarrel
he and Bat had on the barge pier,
he mumbled to himself every few
minutes, His girl not good enough
for my boy. Well, We'll see."
His first impulse when he left
the pier was to go back home and
tell Dan what he thought of a
girl who had father like Bat
La Porte. But he changed his
mind. Instead he gave Dan the
benefit of his opinion over the
phone, then hurried on to see
Lynda.
He was so excited that he hard
ly knew what he would say when
he did find her except to repeat
that he wanted Dan to marry her,

but now, schemes were formulate

Anything wrong, baby?" he tn

into the breakfast room, a vision

''Stop teasing me. just felt like
having a nice early morning visit

chair opposite him. you're such
q busy man, never have a chance
to really talk with you"
James Martin beamed. He was
very fond Of his only child, and
1t pleased him to have her want
to be with him. He put his morn

patted her hand.

holiday with me? I've got to so

Like so many American men OF
his type, Martin had matter-of-
fact, well-cared for face, little
too self-indulgent, perhaps, about
the small, shrewd blue eyes, but
generally benign. Fifty five, he
delighted In telling the men under
hiin in the vast grocery chain
store company which he headed,
that he still felt like kid of 81.
His body was stocky and his Shout
ders square. He would have been
called squattish had it not been
fol-, the best tailor money could
buy.
As a boy he had boxed in am
atcur bantam bouts at the Athletic
Club. He still belonged to the
Athletic Club though Lynda and
his sister-in-law, Mrs. William
Martin, were always trying to
persuade him to shift his patron
age to the Racquet and Tennis
Ordinarily indulgent, as far as
Lynda was concerned, he drew the
line there. He never felt quite
at ease with the Racquet and Ten
mis- Club fellows, although, as he
often told himself, he could buy
and sell them all out, half dozen
times, and never miss the money.
Lynda poured generous amount
of cream over a crystal dish OF hot
house raspberries the butler set be-
fore her. Ordinarily I'd love to go

prettily, "but right now, well-Pu

Ever since Mike Donovan had
told her the night before that
his son, Dan, intended to ask her
to be his wife, Lynda had been
walking on air. While her first
impulse was to rush and tell her
father, her second was to hold
back. Something, perhaps it was
her fathers native shrewdness IN
her, warned her to wait until she
heard from Dan himself.
But meanwhile she wanted the
way paved. She was not entirely

 Film Show Monday

Every skier will have a chance to win cup in the novelty ski races to be held this Sunday in the second meadow on the Doug las Ski Trail at 12:30 pm. There will be races for the men, women, and juniors. No experience-well-- little, perhaps, is necessary to bring home the bacon in one of the most unusual races ever held in any ski area or by any club.
 Expert instruction will be given by Ralph Moreau starting at 10:30 am. Anyone and everybody is welcome to join these courses, young or old, these instructions are of vital importance to beginners. 1 Efforts Appreciated
 The Juneau Ski Club is deeply indebted to the U. S. Forest Serv- ice and it's efficient. cooperative staff, for the fine work it has done to make the Douglas ski recreation area place for real skiing enjoy ment. We sincerely appreciate the great deal of work and effort that the staff and men of the Forest Service have put into the building and designing of cabins, trails, and ski grounds which make up the finest ski area in Alaska. More work and more improvements are being made on this project every day. Fellow skiers can show their appreciation of this work by keep ing the cabins clean and orderly, and by respecting material and property, and trail signs set up by the Forest Service.
 New Ski Tow
 Yesterday, Bill Foxworthy, who operates the ski tow for the Ju- neau Ski Club, went up to the sla- lom course to do a little undis- turbed work on the tow. But not for long. Fourteen skiers showed up from out of nowhere and per- suaded him to start the engine which was operated several hours for their convenience.
 The Outdoor Committee are con- sidering operating the tow on cer- tain days of the week if enough interest is shown by those who cannot ski on Sundays.
