. SERIAL STORY
DOC-FAIR-HAIRED BOY
CHAPTER XXI

I judy didn't take the trouble be-
tween Mauie andr Bike Croft as
seriously as did. Much goading like
that might put Maurie on Doc after
all, but Juddy only joshed Doc about
lt.
why don't you borrow Dolf
Tor a police dog?" she said. HE
like you" 1t was true, too; Dolf
and Doc got on fine together.
Doc didn't even naswer her. He
said, do you think l should
apologize TO Sears, Mom?"
what for?" I said. you didn't
do anything to him"
1--we hurt his feelings apparent
ly."
"Are you afriad?" Juddy said.
"Of course I'm afraid. I'm not
q fool. have no ambition to be
shot"
/ guess Judy had never heard
that tone out Of him befoer She
had 1t coming to her all right.
She colored up.

said to Doc.
Eyes. But I don't want to shoot
anyone. Certinaly not Sears"
Most likely he'll bump Angel
off before he comes after you"
said. This was to Juddy's adj
dress. She batted her eyes. She
didn't like it too well.
One thing baout Angels absence
struck me. Allowing that he was
sore at Juddy about the razz she
gave him over the game and was
yolding off on that account, I still
didn't see why he hadn't sent the
bet money over Well, I found
put soon enough, and right from
headquarters.
Angel SOLVED up, looking like
had salvaged No, he wasn't look
ing for judy. He wanted pri-
gate talk with me. We went down
10 the river. 1t was private enough
there because an airplane had
Just gone over, soaring Old Swoby
Into the stockade, and Dolf was
covering his retreat. Angel hem
med nda haWed and sweat.
"Whta's it all about, Big Boy?"
Money. Got any to spare?"
mo. How much?"
Seven hundred dollars" he
said like a dying swan.
I can add three to four. THE
bet" I said. "Juddy's bet. You
big heel!'
TT wasn't my fault"
ut never is"
when she passed me the ice
pitcher, I went on the razz. Some
where I met up with the bunch
of Miami tinhorns and drank a
lot of champagne and stuff and
when 1 came to, I had just ten
dollars and sixty cents in my jeans.
They must have rolled me-"
"YGah?" I said Was it dice,
draw, or dominoes?"
He let out a grona. What does
1t matter now? The game was
crooked Nom, I could pay you
back sure in two months"
Il haven't got any seven hun
dred dollars" I said. And when
] get it, it goes into the building
fund.-"
He put his head between his
big hands. How'll I ever square
it with Juddy?" he monead. Just
then Loren Oliver came out of
the stockade with his hand on
Old Swoby's shoulder. Angel
looked over at him and dropped
his voice. You could get it from
him, Nom" he said.
"Yeah?" I said. (which one?"
'I'ln not joshing," he said.

pals with him, aren't your"

Angel thought that over. TITS

not do anything. I've got plenty

CHESS GAME GOING 40 YEARS

New Orleans - Private James
Fitz-G Gerald, in an army hospital,
is playing 40-year-old chess
game with S. Truman Phelps.
Fitz-Gerald, reading in a news
paper that Phelps had found old
letters about a game his grand
father was playing by mall pro-
posed they finish the game. They
are doing it at the rate of two
moves weekly by U. S. mail.

Enough to can him out of his job.

He was 50 cocksure that / got un-
easy. I didn't like the smell OF IL.
AS for Doc, ] didn't worry so much
for figured that Angel could make
good on the loan. There VISA prob
ably a football deal on that would
bring him in some ready cash.
Run along, little boy" ! said.
I'm pull you out OF this hole. But
it's the last"
I went over and stood in front
Of Doc and looked HMM the eye
doc" I said What would you
do if l told you needed seven
hundred dollars?"
Let you have it,"
Gust like that? without know
ing what, which, or Why?"
He didn't look at me. We're
friends, aren't we, Mom?"
DOC" / said, you're funny
guy. I don't get you, at times
But, speaking man TO man, there
aren't lot Of people in this more
or less phony world that I think
more of than do of YOU
Cash or check?" he said. He
was like that.
This was my day to be per-
sonal, though. Cash said
And thta isr't all. You aren't
doing right by the Feederia late
ly. Have you gone sour on my
vittleS?"
| mo, Nom" he said. They
couldn't be better"
Then what's the matter? Tel
Nom"
There's nothing the matter
But he wouldn't look at me.
Listen, Doc. You haven't gone
and fallen for Juddy, have your"
She's in love with Todd You
heard what Sears said that day"
Il didn't hear her say anything
though"
she didn't deny it." He tried
to smile. Strange as it may stem
she doesn't even like me-"
Get this, Loren Oliver" / said
"Juddy's a pretty wise guy about
lot of things. But her own self
isn't one of them. In her present
state I wouldn't be too sure OF
anything about her. However
don't let me put ideas into your
head" Which was exactly what
was figuring to do.
Angel got his nerve up and owned
up to Juddy about his drunk. Of
course he didn't say anything about
the money; just handed it over. II
went right into the building FUND
and sank without a bubble. His ex-
| PLANTATION was all right with Juddy
she didn't ask any embarrassing
questions. She even became more
friendly with Loren Oliver, which
Angel didn't like too well, though
it was no secret that she'd be
tickled pink when the Wellivel
lease was out and she could clear
| away the stockade. 1 don't believe
she had any suspicion of how Doc
felt about her Somehow he didn't
shape up that way in her natura
history book.
1t took movie queen to alter
her views. Lolita Marquesas was
billed in Cherrington, only a hun
dred miles away, for personal APP
pearance with Spanish Love,
Angel Todd brought the news

stop hating yourself. Angel
judy said and tell us what it's
all about"
Well, 81 seems that last year
Lolita had been chosen Sweetheart
OF Chi Rho Gamma. and she was
coming to pay visit to the Mother
Chapter and Angel was chairman
OF the committee of escort to go
and fetch her.
We're throwing a swell dinner
for her at Rogue's Hail. he said.
You're invited; both of you. Fri
day at seven. Evening dress"
Thanks" / said. Movie stars
are no treat to me. I've been in
show business myself" Besides,
I had other reasons for not go
ing.
I'D love to CO." Judy said.
Angel couldn't come for her,
having the Marquesas on his
hands, but he brought her home
himself. They were SO full OF
the occasion that they came bust
ing into my room at $3.50 a. m.
and sat on the edge of the bed,
telling me all about it.
What do you know!" Angel be-
gan, and Juddy pushed in with,
Who'd you think the star made
a play for?"
"Prexy Gilchrist," I said. They
always shoot for the biggest game
on the preserve"
Not this time" Angel said, and
Juddy chirped, Loren Oliver"
God save the kingp l said.
What did she want of Doc? And
how did she catch him?"
Angel did the explaining. "Some
of the boys were raging me on
the way back from Cherrington
about Tambay and somebody
mentioned your Feederia, Nom,
and Lolita piped up and said,
'Feederia? What's that?' So Rags
Owen told her about Nom. And
she said oh, I'd love to eat in one
of those funny things Then Van
Clark chips in and says, Loren
divers got the inside track with
Nom. He's her star boarder.
Lolita asked lot more ques-
the road and telephone Oliver to
come to the dinner, and he was
to sit next to her. Wouldn't that
pry you wide open?"
How did they get on?" I said.
Talked their fool heads off, +"
Juddy said. Poor Angel, on her
other side, couldn't get word III

I was curious. What did they
| find to talk about?"
"Wandos, by Cripes!" Angel
said.

II understand that the government
has prohibited the manufacture OF slot
machines in order to transfer the ma
terials to war production. am
| further advised that in many states
public officers regardless of the
gambling laws-have carried on ex-
tensive campaigns to seize slot ma
chimes and pin ball machines with the
view of using some of the materials
of which they are constructed for war
purposes.
1T appears now, more than ever,
that all public officials should work
together to enforce our laws and that
those who are seeking to evade those
laws should devote their energies to
gainful war efforts" the attorney gen
eral asserted.
Bonner also stated that it is his
opinion there Is less gambling in
Montana now than at any period in
the history of the state. The law en-
forcement campaign was begun by the
attorney general, in cooperation with
county attorneys, more than a year
ago. Bonner said yesterday morning
he intends to continue vigorous en-
forcement of the anti-gambling laws.
"Rumors have reached this office,
however, that some Darkroom opera
ton Of slot machines has started in
at least one city in the state. We
don't intend to let this practice get
foothold
Slot machines appeared in one
eastern Montana town during the past
fortnight" Bonner concluded, "but
quick work on the part of law en-
forcement officers there cleaned it
up in short order"

formerly in the navy during World

sioner of labor by Gov. Roy E. Ayers
in 1899 after he had unsuccessfully
ran for congress against Jerry O'Con-

former state representative in the leg

No appointment for the position has

The announcement Of the candidacy
of Jacob Thorkelson for the United
States senate on the republican ticket
brought no cheers. Thorkelson, form
er congressman, has long been known
for his long-winded oratory and fascist
utterances. His book, Rescue the
Republic" was printed by William
Dudley Policy head of the Policy Pub
fishers of Ashville, N. c., and organ
izer of the Silver Shirts of America.
In congress Thorkelson was a con-
slant apologist for the nazi regime
in Germany, and he regularly quoted
articles from the Berlin Voelkischer
Beobachter. His record in this re-
gard is so we'll known that most peo-
pie are wondering why he is announc-
ing his candidacy again.
During the week Montana mining
men met with government officials in
Butte to thrash out the question of
priorities. Many mines will have to
shut down because of lack of equip

and urged the government officials to
provide ways and means for the inn
