THE HUB CITY, long a mecca
of freedSm and good sportsman
ship, was, at one time, in danger
of losing its honors to such ham
lets as N e w York, Brooklyn,
Philadelphia, Chicago, and Cleve-
lapd. In boxing and major league
baseball, and in football games
against Dixie Elevens, this city
was certainly losing ground in
race relations. We might as well
admit it.

CHAPTER Three

Onapter Inree
You'll never be unhappy
again"
Those words came into James
mind more than once several
days later as the train carried her
slowly but steadily toward her
home town out on Long Island.
Having forgotten to take along
a book to read, there was nothing
else TO do but think-think about
the years which had passed since
she had last seen Aunt Hattie
think about the sights she had
seen in Europe-think about
George, and Jack. and the dozens
OF young men she had known.
She sighed and looked out the
window again, not at all proud
of the STUPID girl she had been
overseas. She had certainly be-
haved in such way that Georges
detection had been almost inev-
liable. Worse, she had given up
the fight long before she should
have. She should have taken
Ruthie's advice and applied for
duty in England. There she might
have been able to bring George
to his senses.
If she really were a crybaby
wouldn't she have stayed in
Pittsfeld after the war, wouldn't
she have begged Aunt Hattie to
blind I'D" her wound?
And yet she certainly had
been guilty of doing a lot of cry
ing during the years which had
elapsed since she had last seen
George. Private crying, true, but
crying nonethelesS. A stronger
person would either have hunted
him down forthwith, or forgotten
him. But she had done neither
She had allowed bitter memories
to ruin her postwar life, and she
had allowed defeatism to prevent
her from going after the happi-
ness she wanted. If it had not
been for the stray item she had
read in the Crestview paper
about the CT. who was single
handedly trying to establish an
Industrial Training School for
paroled Criminals in Tuttleton on
Lake Champlain, she would never
have gone after that happiness.
Just like crybaby. She shivered
as the train against slowed down,
this time, at last, for Pttsfeld.
Her thoughts made her pale as
she took her bag down from the
overhead rack, with the result
that when she met Aunt Hattie
on the rainSwept platform q

bit as peaked as her maiden aunt

''Twenty-nine and still unmar-

She went up the old creakinG
stairs to the old room at the
back of the house. But there she
stopped smiling. and tears blurred
her vision for a moment as she
looked around and found that
here, very definitely, nothing had
been changed. But Aunt Hattie
didn't give her the time to dwell
upon this subject for long. She
came up the stairs nimbly, her
| glasses down near the tip of her
nose. her gray hair diShevelled.

it was.
