To Sweeten Grapefruit

A delicious way to sweeten break
fast grapefruit is to fill the hole in
the half, left by cutting out the
white center, with strained honey.
Then set the fruit in the refrigera-
tor overnight. BY breakfast time the
honey will have penetrated all sec
tons of the fruit, giving it even
sweetening and a delicate honey
flavor. In some of the more expen-
sive restaurants grapefruit prepared
this way is listed on breakfast menus
as grapefruit supreme.

Patterson Plays Basketball
With Waco Army Air Field

Sergeant Louis G. Patterson,
former Ypsilanti star athlete, is
now playing basketball with the
Waco Army Air Fields Wolves.
Sgt. Patterson has been in the
service since 1912, and after act
ing as player-coach, has finally
managed to get the coaching Job
shifted from his shoulders, and
will play lot of ball in the more
than 80 games scheduled for the
Wolves this season.
1t was in the winter OF 1925 that
he came out for the Ypsilanti High
School team and succeeded in earn
ing a starting position at guard.
The team was hot in basketball
and grabbed district and regional
honors during the four years OF
Batterson's eligibility. This little

junior and senior years and was
captain in 1928, his last season. In
1927 Ypsilanti went to the state
quarterfinals before losing to Lam
sing Central. Patterson made the
all-state team that spring. He
tailed 1875 points in about 10
games to set up a record that has
never been beaten at his alma
mater.
He played freshman ball and one
year at varsity at Michigan State
Normal and then went into more
than a decade OF Independent ball,
playing for teams all over Michi-
gan. He came back to help coach
Ypsilanti High School in 1924
through 1887 and took over the
reins at Cleary Business College
from 1888 through 1871.
In high school football he was
a star, too. He played quarterback
for Ypsilanti High in 1926. 1927
and 1923 and whipped his club to
the Glass B state championship in
1928, for which he has given
honorable mention on the allstate
squad. He made the all-South-
eastern League team that same
year.
He assisted IN football coaching
at Ypsilanti High in 1884 through
1887 and then helped pilot Michi-
gan State Normal through 1898 and
1889. In 1910 he was head fresh
man coach and turned In three vic
tories against one defeat.
He reached his greatest promi-
hence in baseball. He played four
years OF shortstop for Ypsilanti
High and one year hit 800 His
hitting was always way up there
and that fact, coupled with his
speed and fielding ability, started
him going places in the Tiger,
Yank and Brown farm systems
until a broken leg in spring train
ing in 1888 halted his budding
baseball career.

Drue was sleeping. The little

Of the bed, growled in a kind Of

The front door closed heavily be-
hind me and l walked along the
driveway toward the public road.
The air felt moist, but it was not
showing. Dusk was coming on and
it was very quiet. Twenty-four
hours ago had had my first indica-
ton Of smoldering tragedy and ter
ror in that house that lay behind
me.
The drive went down long curve

l reached the huge stone gate-posts

Somewhere along the way, Del

looked down at his battle-scared
ears and wondered what had reused
him SO suddenly last night. A foot
step? Clothing brushing against
the door? Or had it been something
more tenuous even than that; an
awareness Of movement outside
that door that was denied to merely
human ears? And I wondered, too,
what had struck the door so sharply
and so hard. Like a hammer.
Presently, having skirted
meadow and reached little ridge,
l could see the village of Balifold
about q mile or two away. Del
phine decided to leave and did so,
on secret feline business into the
meadow where his gray body slid
into the shadowy growth near at
hand and vanished. leaving me
alone.
Standing on that ~, began to
think again Of the means Of Con:
rad Brent's death. The use Of poi
son presupposed a murderer with
some knowledge Of drugs, accessi-
bility to digitalis, and a certain
amount Of ingenuity in inducing the
victim to take it. And to take it
before Drue had returned with her
unlucky hypodermic dose Who
could?
Craig Brent had merely denied
words that were suspiciously pro-
phetie. Against this he had told .
story TO account for the bruise an
his temple which not only sounded
true but indicated q line Of inquiry
the police would do well to follow.
And while there may be few real
alibis for q poison murder, still he
had been under my observation at
the time Conrad was induced 10
take poison. He was also n =
drugged state, which would have
prohibited clear thinking OF quick
action. He had been shot the prsvt-
Gus night. II was not hksly tAsA
