"It's Colt who is deciding what tc

well, get out of here, and do as

Captain, / have done that"

'''Yes, Tonga: thought I better
take chance"
Good" Dick said. "Good enough!
Now, go cut Hokano loose"
Dick went below, still listlessly
hunting for his pipe. He was feeling
empty and sunk. He poured him.

it off, and deciding this had been a
good idea, poured himself another.
DR.. ShimaZu came into the main
cabin from the little stateroom in
the stern.
''This girl is lucky" he said. 'The
knife seems to have turned and
saved the lung. If it had not turned
she would have been killed, as it is,
she is not"
Where's the luck in that?" Dick
asked sourly. Cant you even wish
a poor Hawaiian girl well?"
"The girl is principally suffering
from shock" Dr. Shimazu ex-
planned. These Polynesians have a
special temperament of their own;
sometimes they are nervously ex-
citable."
He stopped, and stared blankly at
the companionway. Two rugged
looking Kanaka seamen had ap-
peared, each of them holding onto
wrist of the huge Hokano. AS
soon as they had cleared the. lad
der, one of them twisted Hokano's
arm up behind him in an effective
hammerlock; and thus they stood
waiting. Hokano's face was express
sionless, and his eyes dead.
Dick Wayne's voice was harsh and
level. "You ought to be ashamed of
yourself" he said. s"Don't you know
how to teach that woman of yours
lesson without half killing her? You
get on in there to her, and see if
you can get her quiet
Hokano flung Dick Wayne one
wild, uninterpretable glance, then,
moving unsteadily, he walked back
to Dicks stateroom and dis
appeared.
Dick drank his Whiskey and went
on deck. What he wanted was to be
quiet, and alone in the dark, like any
animal which has been hurt and yet

NoaU 90 on with the story.

81 suppose you mean," Karen
said, that this half caste girl, this
cousin of mine, as you say"
1T matters lot to you, doesn't
it," Dick said bitterly, exactly who
this girl is? / would rather ask a
woman what she thinks and feels,
than who she is"
"And So" Karen said, with some
thing like tone of despair, IF a
brown woman, or black woman,
can let herself go, more fully than
/ can, your answer is-?"
'tKaren," Dick said, "if ever any
woman has to ask herself if she
loves a man, the answer is No. +"
The stubborn silence that fell be-
tween them then was broken-very
gratefully for them both-by the
impetuous projection of Inyashi be-
tween them. 1t always seemed that
whatever Inyashi did was high-pres-
sured, and sudden.
Captain Dick, a vessel is coming
in; she's three points off the quar-
ter, now. ! think it may be the boat

The two at the taffrail, swinging
their eyes to the left, could now see
on the horizon a speck of light that
showed winking in the rise and fall
of the seattle high running lights
of ship quartering in from beyond.
"All right" Dick said. ''When
we've anchored. I'll go out and pilot
her in"
When Inyashi had moved away,
Dick and Karen stood silent for a
little while. When Karen spoke it
was apparent that she was steadier,
better poised than he.
Cant you be fair to me?" she
said. Cant you be honest? If you
and ! can't be frank and honest
with each other, who in the world

"Honest?"
"You haven't always been honest
with me, Dick. If you had told me
at the first that Garrett Waterson
was alive"
More honest, I think, than you
with me-"
II can't imagine what you mean"
you've played your hand alone
or else with John Colt; never with
me. I've protected you in situations
that you tried to conceal from me
altogether."

The war lingo has definitely been
incorporated into the vocabulary of
the Bluffton young people as evi-
denced in the following bit of humor
from Robert Coon, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lee Coon. Bob's latest is, "If
Uncle Sam is your uncle who is your
aunt" The answer of course is,
"Anti-aircraft."

Whenever anyone in the Bluffton
farming district, south and west of
town, buys a tractor that's a red
letter day for Stanley Miller, Bluff
ton junior high school student, whose
hobby is to keep a careful record of
all tractors purchased in this dis
trict. Stanley, the son of Mr.. and
| Mrs. Arthur Miller living two and
one-half miles south of town, carries
little notebook with him in which
he records the names of farmers who
buy tractors. The names are care
fully classified according to the
type of tractors owned. So far he
has 126 names representing the fol-
lowing makes of tractors: Farmall,
John Deere, Oliver, Ford, Silver
King, Allis-Chalmers, Case, Massey
Harris, Moline, Wards Twin Row,
Rumelly Oil Pull.

Adding to Bluffton's observance
of Easter was the musical program
OF chimes broadcast from the college
tower Sunday morning and heard
thruout the town. 1t added much to
the Easter spirit and we would like
to have it continued.
Even old-time railroaders got a
thrill Tuesday morning when the A.
c. & Y. eastbound passenger stopped
here with coach full of some
twenty-five youngsters from the
first and second grades of the Pan
dora schools. The children virtually
had monopoly on the attention of
the train crew who patiently ex-
planned the mysteries of railroading.
The affair-a railroad trip from
Pandora to Jenera-was arranged
by the teacher for the benefit of the
youngsters, many of whom had
never before been aboard a train.
1t looked as if the army was
about to take Bluffton Monday
morning when a swarm of khaki
clad youths roamed thru the business
district for more than an hour. 1t
all came about when one of two
Greyhound buses transporting Sc
lectees from Camp Perry developed
motor trouble and stalled while COM
ing up the grade on North Main
street. Both buses stopped here
until another bus arrived to pick
up the load of the disabled vehicle.
Asked where they were going one
of the boys replied eve don't know
that-all we know is that we left
Camp Perry this morning.
Old fashioned night crawlers still
make mighty good bait, so says Bob
Scoles of Cherry street who Tuesday
hooked big channel cat that didn't
get away. And just to prove it was
no fish story Bob showed his catch
to plenty of the boys about town.
1t weighed six and one-fourth
pounds and measured 241a inches.
Since he couldn't be home for
Easter, Ensign Wade Lape called his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Z. S. Lape
by telephone from Oakland, Calf.
Young Lape who has been on duty
in the Pacific expects to be stationed
at Oakland for some time.
Little Lora Jean Tripplehorn,
three year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Murray Tripplehorn, surprised
her parents the other day with the
remark that she was looking for
ward to Easter so that she could
see them advertise" the babies al
church. Puzzled over what she
meant, her mother soon concluded
that Lora Jean really meant "bap-
| tise" instead of advertise.
Of the many categories of classi-

Basinger, has a complete set of
stamps of these two groups.

Wood Happy Over Is
As Nelson Tops at
St. PETE With Sc
Open Champ, Far Down,
Went Into Tourney
Just for Wormup
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


ST. PETERSBURG, March S.
You wouldn't expect the National
Open champion to blow himself to
4-over-par rs in the first round
of a golf tournament and come off
the course smiling and complacent.
But Craig Wood, the blond bomber
from Mamaroneck, N. Y, who is
likely to remain the National Open
champion for a long time because
the tournament has been aban-
doned for the duration of the war,
wasn't the least bit concerned that
he shot a 39-37-76 yesterday at
the start of the 72-hole $1,000 st.
Petersburg Open.
Byron Nelson of Toledo had
weighed in with spectacular "a
3+68, Billy Burke and Al Brosch
had checked in cards of SO. Three
other players had finished with
70s, and 10 more had played even
par before Wood strobe off the

his lusterless score.
Just Getting in Trim.
Instead of .beefng. he grinned
and said, This is just a warmup.
I knew when I entered that I didn't
have a chance of doing anything
here. But golfers need some sprina
training just like baseball players.
II don't mean they have to get
into physical condition, but they
have to get back their concentration.
They have to get tournament tough
I've played a good bit OF golf
this winter and I've played some for
money. But it's not the same as a
tournament. Why out there in the
first round played chip shot that
sailed clear over the green simply
because I wasn't paying enough
attention to what I was doing
1--WE laid out of tournament golf
this winter, but I'm going to make
the rest of the circuit and defend
my masters championship. I'm
counting on this tournament to get
me in shape for the ones to come"
