Out on the West Coast Branch
Hickey, president OF the Dodgers,

First Baseman Dolt Camilll the

confirm the ms story a week ago

Durocher.

Shotton, current Clevelar, coach,

ing to crush him. knock the mean
ness out Of him." Those words shot
into Paiges head. The old western
term for discipline.
At lunch Paige received thun-
dering surprise. I'm having a good
time, she realized. Naturally she
knew the ache for Denison had not
gone. 1t was there, and would be
there forever. But it was masked
by the pleasure of new friends.
Something Denison Ware had said
was making a circle Of laughter
around the table. oh" she thought
with prayerful thanks, how glad
I am I did not get to the water
that night in San Francisco. II 1t
hadn't been for Rusty" She
looked at him and he smiled. Not
his usual smile, but one as friendly
as Choppo's.
Denison was giving the boy i'm
portant instruction. He picked up
a French roll. IF you want to
make hit with the sparrows, don't
throw the crust. Give them this"
He dug out ball Of soft center and
threw 1t out onto the dance floor,
Instantly dozen sparrows sight
ed 1t and swooped. Another dozen
or so that had been begging from
other dinners deserted in prefer
ence for this superior food. Their
greed was so great that they skit-
tered on their tails, or perhaps on
one wing. They made a mad, chat
tering show, fighting and dancing,
after a fashion, where the people
would be dancing that night.
Not to be outdone, Restwick
Carnes slipped bill to their watt
er after all but few Of the lunch
con guests had gone. AS result,
the waiter lifted the lid from a
sugar bowl and casually strolled
away. Soon bird was perched on
the rim Of the silver bowl, digging
so furiously with his beak that his
head became blur. 1t did not last
long. The head waiter dashed to-
ward 1t with a napkin, whereupon
everyone at Rusty's table, includ-
ing their personal waiter. put on
pious looks. But Choppo had been
entranced.
Abby muttered, Now you two
have really done II. I'll have no
peace from now on"
"oh, hush,' Rusty said. you're
having as much fun as anyone"
Sure" she admitted. But
don't want anyone to know it."
Denison sat with them again for
cocktails in the indoor bar and sue
cessfully upset Abby by showing
her a caravan-long grayish rat,
crawling cautiously over the ledge
Of an open window from the palm
filed garden. He also successfully
upset a dignifed little native wait
er by inquiring with a poker
straight face, do you have many
rats at the Royal"
Denison sat with them at dinner
also. II was he who made a great
TODD over the Thanksgiving holi-
day, easy to ignore, with tropical
scents in the air and warm stars
down on the dance floor.
Il was he who begged Abby to let
Choppo stay up an hour later be-
cause 1t actually was Thanksgiv-
ng. It was he who looked at Paige,
30 glowing in a dress Of pale pink
ace, decorated with lei Of deeper
pink twisted carnations. Looked,
md without a word, took her hand
md led her out to dance.
He spoke as they began to dance.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

OF COURSE it wasn't Denison,
Paige knew that. 1t couldn't be.
And yet, when she forced herself
to glance up in response to Abby's
Introduction, she saw that It WAS
Denison. Denison as he would have
been at 35 or SO. The same deep
toned eyes, with squirting lines at
the corners. The same sun-dyed
skin. The same near-ebony hair,
family touched in this Denison,
with gray above the ears. The same
icy-white teeth. Even the same
smile. Above everything, the same
friendliness, as if he had known
her for long time.
Hi. Choppo." The newcomer
whacked the child on the head Just
harshly enough to please him.
Choppo grinned and saluted. Evil
IDENTIFY they were not only acquaint-
ed, but quite good friends.
The man turned to Restwick
Carnes. Hear you've been commut-
Ing again. Rusty. How many new
saloons did you find on the MAIN
land?"
Abby butted In with sharp Or
ders. Now listen, you two can play
marbles later in the afternoon.
Don't start now. And don't you
think for one minute, Denison
Ware, that you're going to sit here
and have half dozen cocktails and
make me late for my lunch"
why, pet" Wares eyes were
big and misunderstood. you know
I'd never stop your eating" He
took a chair beside Restwlck
Carnes' wife. "She won't mind" he
told the dark-haired girl, "if I sit
here for a teeny-weeny minute"
II won't mind" Abby comment
ed, "if Paige doesn't mind your
staring at her like a fly looking
through a bakery window"
The girl made a half-embarrassed
gesture to which the little woman
paid no attention. The fsh-hook
lines at the sides of her mouth
deepened as she enjoyed the stark
surprise Of Restwick Carnes. She
had made the remark purposely,
wanting results from him and she
was getting them.
Denison Ware asked, "Who
wouldn't look at herr"
SPECIFICS for a moment, Rusty
recovered enough TO echo weakly.
"Yeh, who wouldn't look at herr"
Even Choppo joined in as IL he
were a grown man. Sure. She's a
tootsie wootsie, toodley- woodley."
Abby relented. "Sit with US at
lunch, Denison." She wanted to an
noy Rusty more, II possible. And
she was quite sure she could. She
peered over her shoulder toward |
the terrace tables, then glanced at
her watch. please hurry" she |
again directed Rusty and Choppo,
before they take away the push
cart. The thing will be the death of /
me, but 1 can't resist, 1 want |

City League Games
Plenty Exciting

In the City League games Mon
day evening the Independents beat
McClure's 81 10 81. McClure's led
the game all the way up to the, las:

one OF their men was put out on
foul and no more men were avail
able, were forced TO finish the
game with only four men. which
proved disastrous for them as the

situation and nosed them out by
three points.

woman's gluttony, that is, in re-

The boy yanked a fistful Of red
hair and groaned, I'm allegoric to

Abby managed to fix him with an
eagle eye and hoped fervently that
her face wouldn't pleat into appre-
ciative giggles. Darn It," she
unused, "how did I ever have any

tagonizing entertaining redhead
He even has Rusty buffaloed," she
thought gleefully.
Rusty jibed, You're pretty
smart, aren't you ?"
Choppo put sandy clasped hands
against one cheek in an accentuat-
ed pose, intended to represent an
angel on a Sunday school card. He
batted his thick lashes at the man.
That's what the police captain
said" He tossed sand-covered pea
nuts toward some ever-famished
sparrows and then began to invei-
gle a huge black miner that was
strutting nearby.
Choppo remarked, That bird
looks just like the police captain.
All puffy looking and smart acting.
Yeh, that's what he said to me.
You're pretty smart, aren't you?
So l guess I am. The police captain
ought to know" The youngsters

eral squat white teeth and over
a space where there was no tooth.
Paige could not help thinking
that her husband had looked very
much the same when reprimanded
by Captain Berriman on the Ma
zatlan. With the exception Of the
lost tooth, of course. But he had
been Just as audacious as Choppo,
and as disturbed beneath it. For
moment Rusty said nothing to the
little boy. He simply looked at him.
Then he reached out and took hold
Of Choppo's undernourished arm.
There was scarcely a muscle. 1t
was skin, over bones. Choppo
blushed. Rusty then tapped his
thin chest. why don't you get
little more to be proud Of, Choppo,
before you talk so big?"
With jerk the child freed him

started to say something. but re-

Paige watched Choppo lean over
his sandy feet. apparently as i'm
pervious as ever to the opinion Of

glistening. She could see that. For
a second, a brief anger shot
through her at Rusty's treatment
Of the little boy. Why. he had be-

she knew what Rusty intended to

Round About the House

Many an old-fashioned house
keeping trick is coming to light these
days, when the maid that used to
keep things shining has departed,
and many of our polishing and re-
furnishing supplies are off on war
duty. Silver brass and wrought iron
must be kept in order, and accord
ing to many of our readers pleas,
there is very little available to keep
them shining.
A combination of some Of the new
products on the market which have
popped up to make our wartime liv-
ing possible, combined with some Of
grandma's tricks and our own elbow
grease will keep the home ma
chinery rolling for some time to
come.
First of all, If you have lacouered
metal such as chromium, nickel or
brass, don't make the mistake of
washing it in soap and water to
clean 1t. Most soap, and all hot
water. will cause it to peel and then
you will have mess on your hands.
Wipe it off with a dry, Or barely
damp, cloth and polish it with a
soft silk one to bring up its luster
again. If it has started to peel BAD
ly the lacquer must be removed with
solvent. After that it will be
necessary to clean the piece with
metal polish constantly or have it
relacquered again to protect the sur
face.
Many Of us hurt our silver more
by cleaning it occasionally than if
we permitted it to stay tarnished.
Plan to keep jar Of silver cream
beside the kitchen sink. At dish
washing time, if there is any sign of
tarnish, plunge the tines of the
forks and the knife blades up and
down in the silver cream. This will
take but a moment before they are
washed in hot soap and water and
will remove the deep tarnish caused
by egg, salt, salad dressings and the
like.
Don't try to polish off the arti-
ficial tarniSh which is usually found
on silver with deep repousse de-
sign. 1t is intended to give depth
and roundness to the pattern and
with shadows polished out of the
deep places it has cheap, tinny ap-
pearance. Don't dunk the felt
based candlesticks in the dishpan
or the soft bases will come off. Hold

candle wax may be melted under
the hot-Water faucet. Use a soft
Lrush to clean engraved parts but
not the smooth areas Clean the
smooth parts OF hollowware with
full horizontal strokes around the
whole piece, so that the finished
product will not show mean little
circular scratches.
If you run out of brass and cop
per polish. make your own out of
salt and -four mixed to a paste
with vinegar. Apply coating of
this and let it dry. Brush it off
with a cloth and then wash in soap
and water and burnish until dry
with a clean cloth. Save all the
old woolen socks, sweaters and such
for polishing rags 1t is a good
idea to apply a coat of paste wax
to your metal possessions. This
keeps the air from reaching the
metal and causing tarnish.
All wrought iron or ornamental
iron pieces may be kept black and
clean-looking by rubbing them we'll
with wax and polishing them
Badly-rusted areas may be cleaned
with fine sandpaper. and if kept
covered with wax will be protected
from further rusting.
