''You'd agree with my publisher
when he says I'm lousy as writer
OF mountain stories. But, listen,
Joel, Just because the only thing
you're capable Of doing Is run
cotton mill, doesn't give you the
right to brand me as writer with
q one-track mind"
Now, now" said Joel, "don't
start getting temperamental. Get
hold of yourself"
"Temperamental!" Bill exploded.
WHO the devil is getting temper
amental?"
"You are" said Joel. He dropped
his mail and faced Bill squarely.
You're acting like a Hollywood
glamor boy who has had one Of his
love scenes cut. You're acting like
a gosh-darned prima donna, who"
"Shut up" said Bill. you can't
talk to me like thatw
"Oh, yes, I can" said Joel. "And
when I look back on the past, I
can remember many a time when
your temperamental fits got you
what you wanted. You fooled Aunt
Sallie, you fooled Uncle John, and
sometimes you even fooled me. But
not anymore
"Shut up, tell you'll" Bill repeat

cucumber salad was cool and color
full, each portion topped by a
creamy mound Of mayonnaise.
Don't tell me you boys made the
salad dressing also!" said Rita.
"Oh, no, we're not that good"
Joel laughed. Eve supplied it."
How sweet" said Rita, with an
edge to her voice. She smiled across
at Bill. Il suppose you'll describe
this charming scene In your next
book"
Perhaps" said Bill. "Only II
seems a bit too sophisticated for Q
mountain story"
Are you going to write about
mountain people exclusively"
"Oh, most of the characters will
be native. With the exception Of
the heroine"
Maybe I'm wrong" Rita said
then, but 1t seems TO me that you
should stick to the sort Of writing
you've been doing all along"
"And that" Joel spoke up, "is
Just what his publisher thinks"
"Is that true, Bill" Eve wanted
to know. you mean he didn't like
the material you sent him?" -
Bill nodded. "He doesn't approve
of any part Of it."
"Oh, I'm sorry!" said Eve. But
don't be too discouraged. I'm sure
you'll be able to prove to his salts
faction that you are a versatile
writer"
THANK you, Eve" Bill said. "for
those kind words!"
"And 1 think" said Rita, you
should drop the whole idea-and
write the sort of material your
public expects Of you"
"Well, let's stop talking about it
now" said Bill. Lets talk about
something else"
II was when they were having
their coffee that Rita turned to
Eve.
81 hope you realize what break
you're getting" she said.
How do you mean?" said Eve.
Being up here in the mountains
with two such charming men-and
no competition
Eve laughed.
1T is fun" she said. "Joel and
Bill have been darlings-both Of
them. But I'm not so sure about
there being no competition. They
keep running down to Asheville, so
how do we know there aren't rivals
down there? Besides" she added,
don't you come under the heading
Competition ?"
Il don't know-any MORE" Rita
replied.

He was sitting on him.

Joel remembered the time when

Bill said nothing.
And all at once Joel thought Of
something that made him want to
laugh. He had licked his cousin
and licked him fairly; and now, out
Of sheer habit, he was making ex-
cuses for having done so! He was
actually trying to keep Bill from
feeling too badly about the fight.
The same old protective instinct. 1t

was a success.
The dinner moved along smooth

day. They are just the things for

Alabama Heads West
To Third Bowl Game
In Last 10 Years
Crimson Tide Coaches
Think Team Is Best
Since 1884 Model
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Dec. Is
Frank w. Thomas is heading west
with the Alabama football team for
the Crimson Tides third bowl ap-
pearance in 10 years-this time the
Cotton Bowl at Dallas. Tex.
Short, stocky, deadly serious,
Thomas came to Alabama II years
ago. succeeding Wallace Wade, who
went to Duke. Since then his teams
have thrice won the unofficial
Southeastern Conference champion
ship, twice gone to the Rose Bowl.
No one has called Frank Thomas
a Snowman. Few ever have thought
of him as colorful individual. But
no one ever said that his football
teams lacked either color or eff
cheney.
Alabama coaches think the 1941
edition is the best Crimson Tide
team since the undefeated eleven
of 1884. It has three all-conference
stars in the lineup-End Holt Rast,
Guard John Wyhonic and triple
threat halfback Jimmy Nelson.
who Thomas says he'd rather
have than all-America Frankie
Sinkwich.
Of season Thomas is an ardent
baseball fan, likes to hunt, fish and
golf. Recently he bagged his first
wild turkey, after years OF fruitless
trying.
