Rain On

girl he was glad 1t was raining.

spindhng legs. The interest she
had exhibited in him from the

and shaped like an Adonis. He was
something to look at in a bathing
suit. He was a marvel at all sports.
But tonight he didn't. Doris
Hodgson didn't give him any time.
She had eyes only for Jerry. They
danced together six times. They
went ON on the porch and watched
the rain. They kissed. Jerry was
de1iriously happy. He'd never felt
this way before, never knew what
love was like. Later, in bed, he lay
awake listening to the beat of rain
on the roof. And every drop
brought joy to his soul.
Bright sunlight streaming in at
his bedroom window reused Jerry
to wakefulness. He sat up, blink
ing, staring through the window at
the glories of a sparklingly bril-
liant morning. He couldn't believe
it. Last night, late last night, It
had been pouring. All indications
pointed to at least a three-day
rain. And here it was bright and
clear! One Of those miserable
freaks Of New England climate.
Gloomily he dressed. Every one
was in the gayest Of spirits, and,
as he feared, Immediately after
breakfast someone suggested a
swim. Tom Moore suggested it,
cycling Jerry smilingly. triuIn'
phantly.
There wasn't much Jerry could
do. He had to be a good sport, A
poor sport was worse than-wen.
than resenting being laughed at.
Jerry sat on the edge Of the pier
and dangled his legs. He felt like
a nickel. Nobody had laughed yet,
because all but Doris were used to
him. But pretty soon, he knew,
Tom Moore would attract atten-
ton to his legs by some remark,
and then Doris would look-and
that would be the end.
Tom was swimming back to the
float with clean, swift strokes.sHe
came half way up the ladder, chung
to a rung, leaned out and looked
at Jerry's legs, grinning evilly.
It's a wonder" he said, that
those shanks of yours can hold you
up, Jerry"
Tom mounted to the top plat
form and posed again. Jerry
burned with envy He was so abb
sorbed in watching Tom and en-
vying him that he didn't realize
that Doris came and sat down be.

rs this an exhibition? she
asked. "or can we all take part?'
She was looking at his spindling
legs. Jerry flushed and a wave OF
anger and indignation stole over
him.

fensively. If there were any.

Faulty Indictment Delays
Perjury Trial Of Lee, Wife

Faulty indictments have re-
suited in postponing the trial OF
Blight Lee, convicted gambler,
and his wife on perjury charges
In Arlington.
Circuit Court Judge William D.
Medley gave the Commonwealth
an opportunity to amend the in
dictments and said the cases will
be set for hearing when the next
term Of court opens on April 81.
Judge Medley supported the
contention Of Defense Attorney
Oren r. Lewis that the indict-
Iflents failed to state the offense
specifically. The judge said "the
defendants are entitled to know
what they said that the Com
Inonwealth considers perjury"
Lee and his wife, Marguerite,
now live In Oxon HIN, Nd, but
they formerly lived at 270O South
June street. Arlington. The in
dictments grew out Of testimony
the couple gave last year in the
trial Of Joseph q. Lewis for armed
robbery.
Last month. Lewis attorney
James J. Laughlin. told the grand
jury that Lee and his wife per-
jured themselves when they said
during the trial that Lee was not
0 gambler.
Lee. was convicted Of gambling
charges on February ] In District
Court, and he was given q l-to-4-
year, prison sentence, which has
