sleep she'd had in many days even
the dreariness Of mourning black
could not dwarf her look Of vital
ity,
Il could marry again" she said
half aloud. Il could take care Of
Sonny that way"
Then she saw herself shudder in
the mirror. A woman should not
marry for any reason but love. She
had married for loneliness and 1t
had been a good enough marriage.
But not what it could have been,
a small voice said.
Things that she had put away
from her when she became Mark
wife pushed themselves into the
foreground Of her mind. the things
she had dreamed of in her romantic
and brief girlhood, things that a
woman who was still young knew
might yet be for her.
But Barbara Wister knew they
we're not to be for her unless she
went out into the world and looked
for them. Perhaps she might have,
had it not been for Sonny. But
Sonnys life and future were her
whole world now and she wanted
no lonely cities, no lack OF ties for
him. Fiercely she wanted him TO
stay right where he was and grow
up to be a man like Tony Brad
shaw.
She found herself saying it, Il
want him TO be like Tony"
When she went into the living
room, it was as II his presence was
still there, giving her courage,
strength, and she went TO the desk
and looked at the column Of figures
she had added up the night before.

Of items from the drug store, the

Barbara thumbed them hurried

Ton store for the chintz she'd
bought 10 curtain the front bed

The one thing she needed-and
there II was again-was work.
Work for women IN South Whit

she could hope for, unless she could

CHAPTER FIVE

THE STACATTO echo OF back
firing truck awakened Barbara
Wister with an abruptness so
startling that 1t was as if she had
no mind, no memory, no power TO
think. She was awake, that was all.
Her body, rested by the sedative,
was deliciously light under the COW
ers, the pillow incredibly soft be-
meath her head. Before her mind
cleared into consciousness, some
thing told her. she wanted to pro-
long that moment forever, and fast
upon the heels Of that awareness
was the knowledge of the struggle
that lay ahead of her.
Then, because she was not quite
awake, something else brought her
bold upright and blindly reaching
for her robe. Mark, Mark. She
must go to Mark.
Then she remembered that Mark
was dead. Marks funeral was over.
One job was done. Another was be-
ginning. Today.
She was sharply awake then, al
ready feeling the urgent hand of
Time at her shoulder, hearing Its
voice telling her that she had no
months, nor weeks, nor yet days to
plan, to hope for help. What was to
be done was to be done solely by
her,
For perhaps the only time in her
life, Barbara Wister turned away
from the thing she knew she had
to do. A feeling Of helplessness and
loneliness and longing for the
thing she'd never had, someone
close and loving, welled up in her.
Slow tears trickled down her
cheeks. These were different tears
from those she had wept for Mark
These we're for the mother she
couldn't remember, for herself be-
cause there was no one anywhere
that she knew to whom she could
go, as Sonny could go to her, and
know because someone loved her
that all would be well. It was ach-
ing, desolate loneliness.
There were the men friends Of
their old life in New York, Marks
associates. There wasn't another
woman, no friend from the past or
present to whom she could say,
What am 1 to do? How can !
make q living for Sonny and my
self?"
Her eyes drifted to the table be-
side her bed and she saw the soup
bowl that Tony Bradshaw had
brought her and, as If the sight had
been Strengthening, she shifted,
dried her tears and got UP to dress.
When she was dressed she saw
that it wasn't quite seven, as yet
too early to waken her sleeping
child. She went in and looked at
him, sitting beside his small white
bed, seeing him through the years
that were coming.
His bahyhood was nearly over. |
School was ahead of him. All sorts |
OF things darted into her mind, |
funny little pictures. Sonny want
ing baseball glove. Sonny losing
his first teeth, needing to have the
new ones Strengthened. Sonny faced
with the inevitable illnesses OF
childhood, the natural wants Of
adolescence, clothes. pocket money.
High school, preparation for
good life.
She knelt beside his bod and
burying her face in her hands. she
prayed that strength and light
would come TO her, and all the time
abe thought. What becomes Of a
woman and her child when she
cannot provide for him?"
Tucking the blanket under his
chin, she thought. III were alone,
could go back to the city and find
work, but l cant take him away
from here. l KNOW its best for
him to he here"
She saw herself In the mirror IN
the door. She had put on The black !

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Sept. 18-If
Tom Kuzma can force Fritz Crisler
to swallow his words this football
season, Tom and Fritz will both be
happy, and SO will Michigan.
Coach Crisler, grinning sheepishly,
acknowledges gossip which credits
him with having said that Kuzma,
sophomore halfback sensation of
last year, might not give the VOL
verines as much help this season.
Possibly Crisler figured that no
star could be as right two years in
row as the l941 Kuzma.
The Wolverines, who won six, lost
one and tied another last year, now
are toiling for 1912, and if those
powerful Kuzma legs have lost any
of their former speed and agility,
it's not to be detected from the side
lines.
Kuzma, real triple threat, should
be the spark-plug in a backfield that
appears the peer of any in the West
ern Conference. Granite -shouldered
George Ceithaml, the team captain,
is back to maintain his reputation as
fierce blocker. Paul White, a
speed merchant, was injured for a
spell in l941, but he is sound again
and will get Crisler's call at right
half.
If the Wolverines have Sleeper"
it is Sophomore Fullback Bob Wiese,

Too Early for Pike.
Just as surely as September rolls
around the thoughts of some fish
ermen turn to pike fishing, but, it's
too early. particularly with the
warm weather hanging. Because
these fish feed throughout the cold
months they show little or no pen
chant for plugs or live bait until
there is at least a short cool SPELL
Every mill or salt pond in South
ern Maryland might produce a
surprising type OF fishing. How
they become so well distributed is
beyond our ken. To know they are
there Is enough, and those who have
secuted around little enjoy excep-
tional fun in waters that almost
might be said to be virgin.
Most pike fishermen depend upon
the upper stretches of the Severn and
the Patuxent, and bait mostly is
used, but one Of the best pike
streams in this section is South
River. Some years the headwaters
abound with them. The finest
strings We ever have seen were
caught there. Occasionally the
upper reaches of the many small
tributaries are productive OF good
fishing, too
Many streams on the western side
OF the Chesapeake were planted
with yellow perch during the past
two seasons. This fall they should
produce, maybe not the big busters
OF a pound and more that are
caught in those waters where the
stockings are older. but still large
enough to provide lot of sport.

California Seen Team
To Beat for Coast
Football Title
By the Associated Press.


BERKELEY, Calf, Sept. 1S.-The
football practice season isn't old
enough yet to have made the play
ers' pants form fitting, but the word
is out already the team that wins
the Coast Conference championship
will have to beat California to do it,.
Whether or not Coach L. B. Stub"
llison likes it Che Doesn't. the
Bears are the established favorites.
Most of the rival coaches would
pick California during such times,
anyhow, if for no other reason than
1t has the largest student registra-
ton from which to draw its grid
iron talent.
California's 1912 check-up dis
closes not only numerical superiority
IA turnout of 80 mem but an i'm
pressive contingent of topside play
ers. OF more than 20 seasoned
candidates returning nine won varsi-
ty letters last year, and half a dozen
others held down places on the
squad. The others bumped them
selves into experience on the Ram
blers, a reserve unit.
An undefeated freshman team of
last season, one of the finest in
years. supplied material beyond the
widest dreams of some coaches.
The standouts in the bumper crop
of sophomores are Art Honegger,
175-pound backfleld ace, and John
Dodds, 10-pound right guard.
One of the windfalls of the year
saw the return to uniform of jim
Jurkovich, muchly publicized and
often injured halfback, who was
thought lost to the team. Jurko-
vich, fast, aggressive and keenly
intelligent, cracked up the last two
seasons. He's been pronounced
physically fit and will start at the
left halfback spot.

this season of the year, there must
be added the forward speed of the
boat and in many cases it is just too
much.
The only way to cut down on the
number lost is to set an exception
ally light drag on the reel, insist
that your skipper throw out the
clutch while bringing the fish to
the boat, and using a net in bringing
it in.
Stripers Cutting Capers.
Down Piney Point way the striper
schools are cutting all sorts of didos
from early morning until late eve
ming. They are about the size of
the bay schools, which is three
pounds for stripers and five or six
for trout
At Tall Timbers U. S. Blair has
experienced no difficulty in filling
his fish box every time out. Our
guess is that until the alewives are
gone fishing in this sector will con-
tinue good. The one fly in the
ointment is the lack of boats, al
though Capt. Bill Goldsborough has
solved that problem for some, for
he has taken a 30-day leave from
the naval air station and is spending
it fishing. He may be reached at
Bailey's Store at Tall Timbers, al
though he now keeps his boat above
the st. Georges Island bridge.
Skifts are available at the bridge
for those with outboard motors, but
considerable care must be exercised
to stay clear of the buoyed torpedo
range, which has been extended five
miles from the original location.
And, don't depend upon the patrol
boats to tell you where the bound
aries are, for if there is too much
trouble in keeping fishing boats
where they belong all activity might
be curtailed. Anywhere along the
shore is o. K, and that is-where the
fish are anyway.
About Boat Numbers.
Noted 10 days past was the change
that made the Coast Guard respon-
sible for supervising the numbering
of motorboats and other vessels re-
qulred by law to be numbered.
Regulations have been revised and
a new procedure has been estab-
| llshed since these duties so long
vested in the several collectors of
customs have been taken over by
an organization of our Federal
Government that really understands
the problems and needs of small
boat owners.
There will be a closer tie and
| closer cooperation. There will be
no evasion on the part of small
sraft shippers, and understanding
on the part of the Guardsmen in in
| Spections and enforcement.
The most important change
effected is the issuance of numbers
by the District Coast Guard officer
