Angus gets the motor started on his truck he can't hear anymore.
 One of the semi-trailer men looks up and says to Millie, whats MacPhillips hauling7"
 Butter" Millle walls. twenty five hundred pounds of butter"
 The semi-trarer leans his el- bows on teh counter and holds his head in his hands. "Oh, my 0odl'' he says.
 Angus drives all night, and he tries to keep his mind on the road so he won't think about Adoreen. He doesn't even remember the but ter until after he crosses the state line and the sun coms up. Then he begins to hear a faint swishing be- hind him. He pulls into filling sta- ton to get tankful of gas.
 The filling station attendant is 6 genial, -haired man who has see nnearly everything. He squints uncertainty at the oily yellow drops that drip from the corners of the truck and hit the pavement Looks like somethin's leakin', Buddy" he says.
 Just some butter"
 The filling station guy misses the tank and shoots gasoline all over his shoes. You didn't, by any chance, say butter2"
 "Yeah," says Angus. "Meltin' @ litle. Nothin' serious"
 The gray-haired fellow gulps and he IS relieved when Angus finally drives off down the road.
 It is not until late in the after noon when Angus runs Into trouble. He sees It's coming in his rear-view mirror and 1t is riding on notor- cycle and wearing the uniform of Q state trooper. The needle on Angus spcedometer says 66, and Angus re- members signs that are pretty clear about the speed limit in the state being AS. So he pushes the acceler- ator down as far as 1t will go and moves down teh road another three miles before the cop catches up to him.
 The officer is very red and very mad and very hot and has prac- tically no sense of humor, He looks at Angus a minute, and boils some more. Then ilo sniffs around and looks suspiciously ct the rich golden creamery product that is streaming out near the front of the truck.
 Too bad" says he, that we keep the hot seat only for mur- derers."
 T am In 6 hurry to get some- where, ofiicer," Angus explains.
 You don't say?" says the cop.
 T gotta get my girl"
 The cop sneers. Don't tell mo there's someone that loves you, besides your mother"
 "She's lost in New York. She ran away from me to get job In e chorus"
 Your mother2"
 My girl"
 "oh, yeah. Well, I wouldn't blame her If she got 6 job in c coal mine just to get away from you, I'm going to give her hand I'll keep you away from for little while longer. You're coming with me-"

Chapter Il

Just as soon as Angus coaxes his ton-and-a -a-half truck over the top of Dunbar's Hill, he can see the lights of Herbie's Curbside Cafe about 6 mile down the road. Usual- ly Angus takes the truck out Of first gear and lets 1t coast down the slope in second, but tonight he doesn't bother.
 He is in no particular hurry to get there. He hates to admit 1t, but he is afraid. Nothing that he can handle with his fists can scare him like this, but Adoreen can put him out for the count by filicking an eyelid.
 He isn't sorry he asked Adoreen to marry him, and he hopes the answer will be yes. But he is afraid 1t might be no, and he Is in no hurry to get tilted by the cutest litle package that ever slid plat ter Of eggs across a marble coun. ter.
 Angus is late again tonight, and maybe MT. Wittenbaum won't like 1t - especially after he brought his load in nearly an hour overdue on his last trip from Moosehart two nights ago. Anyway, he Is glad he has the butter well iced, because 1t Is quarter to one in the morn- ing and not much cooler than it was just before the sun went down.
 FIaN Q dozen trucks are piled up in the dirt next to Herbie's and Angus squeezes in between a couple of sermi-trailers. He is hoping he will get minute alone with Adoreen without one of the boys busting in and making smart aleck cracks.
 The place is full of smoke when Angus walks in, and some of the fellows yell at him. Angus just waves and grabs a stool in front of where Millie is skipping butter on a dozen slices of bread.
 Hello, Millie," says Angus, "Addie in the kitchen?"
 Millie swings around like she Is about to suggest that somebody go climb a tree, but when she sees Angus, her face softens little and she says, "Oh, it's you"
 Can I go in the kitchen, Mil- iie?"
 sure, sure. Go ahead. I'm busy. Don't bother me, now"
 Angus pushes his hair back un. der his cap, and 1t comes right out again. He take quick look around the place and ducks into the kitchen. He gulps once, and then he says. Hello, Addie," But no one answer, so he tries again before he realizes the kitchen Is empty.
 He is about to go back Into the other room when Millie shows up. Her face is wet with precipitation and her hair looks like Q thatched roof. Now look here, Angus Mac- Phillips, don't ask any questions, I'm busy and l amt got time to swap any conversation with you. I'm all alone and I'm trying to feed that mob out there without passing out any ptomaine."
 Angus is bewildered and much more scared than if Adoreen were around. But where's Addie? l thought she was gonna have Sat- urday night off,"
 Millie wipes her hands on her apron and fishes around in her pocket. She hands Angus Q letter. Looks as If this is for you" she says. Then she grabs couple of steaming platters and heads for the door.
 Angus rips open the envelope. It is @ letter from Adoreen, and he sits down to read 1t.

The lower North Carolina coast is
coming up to its fishing peak. Un-
til late October, Morehead City,
Wrightsville Beach and Southport
will be the mecca of anglers from
as far, North as New York.
The long run off at the last named
port is no deterrent, which is hard
to understand for at other Atlantic
ports runs of 80 miles and less are
considered tough. Possibly it is be-
cause the excellent fishing makes
such a bright day anglers are blind
to the several hours it takes to make

Lesnevich Is Favored
Over MaurieIIo for
Title
Both Will Garry Good
Records Into Gorden
Contest Tonight
Nv the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-When Gus
Lesnevich and Tami Mauriello bat
tie tonight for the light-heavyweight
title, they won't actually have one
eve on the heavyweight champion
ship-they be too busy with the
matter at hand. But they won't be
entirely forgetful of the more i'm
portant class, either.
Gus, who halls from Cliffside, N
J.. and is recognized by the National
Boxing Association as 175-pound
boss, already has taken on several
full-fledged heavyweights.
Tami, a youthful Bronx bomber,
has just grown out of the middle
weight class and if he continues to
pack on pounds, he'll be up with
the big fellows in another year or
two.
At any raate, they're due to settle
ownership of the light-heavy crown
in tonight's 15-round tussle in Madi-
son Square Garden.
The New York Athletic Commits
sion, which hasn't listed a cham
pion since Billy Conn resigned, has
agreed to string along with the N. 3.
A. in recognizing the winner.
Lesnevich earned his claim a few
months ago by beating Anton Chris
toforidis.
Lesnevich. years older and 5
pounds heavier than his rival and
somewhat more experienced, has
been made ST favorite. His fa-
miliarity with the championship
distance should give him quite an
edge over Mauriello, who never has
fought more than 10 rounds.

In Auto Derby al !

Joseph, GeseIl Are Seen
As Leading Rivals for
Veteran Newcomer

Embellished by a corps Of crack
drivers, each intent on snatching
the bulk of $4,000 in prize money,
the first annual Southern State
Derby is expected TO lure a crowd OF
10000 midget automobile racing
fans tonight at West Lanham
Speedway.
The derby, of so laps, or 1871 miles,
will feature a card of seven events,
with the opening race slated to start
at $50 o'clock
Wild Bill Holmes, a veteran max
ing his debut at the nearby Mary
land track, has been installed as a
slight favorite to win the major
event, with Mike Joseph and Ernie
Gesell expected to provide the stiff
est opposition. .-r
Joseph, West Lanham's leading
point scorer, shares with Gesell the
distinction of being the only driver
to have won two feature races on
the macadamized track, but others
likely to figure in the purse split
ting are one-legged Bill SCHNEIDER.

Holmes is no stranger to followers
of the little gas gulpers, for he was

Speedway two years ago. He since
has scored many victories from
coast to coast, earning a reputation
which will make him a marked man
in fine field of pilots.

on the reefs and it is easy to un-
deStand why anglers are going for
this section. In addition, there are
dolphin, saflfish and always the pos
sibility of marlin on the edge of the
Gulf Steram and tarpon inshore.
Southport in a few years will be
one of the greatest fishing grounds
in the Middle Atlantic area. More
boats able to go off and come back
in any weather is the real need there
now. 1t is just short of 400 miles
from Washington.
In the channel just below Black
istone Island in the Potomac, Nor
folk continue to make an an
gler's days worthwhile, particularly
one who uses light bass rods or fly
rods. The spot are as large as
those in any other area in the river
or Chesapeake Bay and as numer-
Gus. With them there is an occa-
sional large hardhead or trout and
small schools are liable to surface
at any time. These small fish,
however, are little fun with any
tackle heavier than the lightest
casting or fly rods.
In more than rs years we never
before have seen so many rays tthe
common brown stingaree) in bay
waters. In dead calm, their wing
tips may be seen breaking the sur
face here and there as they feed on
the schooled alewives. Several
weeks back they appeared to be
schooled. Now they are spread out
over the entire length and breadth
OF the Chesapeake.
On the shoal hard bottom are
countless eels. where small hard
heads and Norfolk spot normally
should. be feeding.
Many baymen hold to the theory
1t is these two pests, in exceptional
numbers, that are responsible for
the spot, trout and hardheads stick
ing to the mud bottoms in deeper
waters. And there is no doubt about
the hardheads being there, for some
OF the best catches in upper Bay
waters have been made in the rs
to 80 feet east of the bell buoy OF
Poplar Island.
However, we have found the rays
feeding in those waters as well as
in mid-channel and while hardheads
and eels seldom are found feeding
together, there Is no reason why
they shouldn't, 50 there is some
doubt in our mind that this is the
reason for the better fishing being in
deep water and on the mud.

For quite a stretch the pro golfers
around town, anxious to put on as
good a show as the Baltimore Open
championship, despaired of the
Washington Open tourney, originally
scheduled for August f.. Their
troubles were money troubles until
two members of Indian Spring came
along and guaranteed enough cash
to make the tourney worthwhile.
Now the burned thing has grown
until it seems they'll have to clamp
the lid down on entries long before
the closing date. The reason is this:
Indian Spring has q nine-hole golf
course and 1t won't be possible to
start more than IS men playing four
rounds of a nine-hole layout in one
day. They'll be tramping on each
others toes If they accept more than

Mel Shorey, Indian Spring pro,
already has more than $500 In cash
to be added to the purse, according

That, together with $375 raised from
entry fees at bucks per copy, would
bring the purse up close to $500, and
would make the tourney the most
luscious little number the pros have
had around this town in long time.
