less" she declared. "All I like to
do is paint watercolors. I do the
family Christmas cards, and do
little sketches to frame and hang
in our own apartment. But I'm
not the best artist in the world,
and, besides. whoever is going to
|pay me. when there are plenty Of
well-known artists around?"
looked at her sketches, and
they were charming. Not great
art, by any means. but very pleas
ing. They were all New York
scenes, and the love she felt for
the city seemed to flow through
them.
IF I could just find somebody
who would pay me for doing this.
OF course I would be as happy as
I could be. But I suppose that
is out Of the question, so I had
better learn how to type or keep
books or something" / told her
I would think about it. and asked
her to come back the following
week.
A few days later was lunching
late at q midtown restaurant. It
was charming and very mex
pensive place. run by q very nice
woman. AS in many such places,
the menus were mimeographed.
She always had quite a crowd at
lunchtime, and If you lunched late,
the menu that was handed to you
was pretty beat up and unattrac-
tive. In the atmosphere engen-
dered by the colorful cretonne cur
tains, the little lacquer chairs and
tables. and the brightly colored
uniforms of the mattresses, the
spotted mimeographed sheet of
paper struck q discondant note.
Suddenly it occurred to me that
there must be q good many res
taurants like my friends, where
the menu was the one unattractive
feature Of the place. Here was
something Mrs. w. B. could fix up.
When she returned to see me.
I suggested that she paint four
scenes of New York. one q spring
scene. one fall, one winter and
one summer. We bought a little
plastic folder and pilfered a
menu from the restaurant. We
fitted the menu On the right side
of the folder and the water color
on the left. They made an at
tractive whole with q distinctive
air.

So that was it,
Clay looked around to find Dex
at his elbow, his eyes troubled and
his jaw set like a rock.
i never aimed to get you into
nothin' like this, stranger"
Thanks, Dex. appreciate that
But I'll fight him. I've had knife
IN my hands once or twice be-
fore"
The two men held out their left
arms as the two left wrists were
bound together with thong after
thong of unyielding leather. The
two knives were carefully
matched, each with a murderouS
twelve-inch blade.
"All ready?"
Without shifting his eyes from
Bucks face, Clay nodded briefly,
and IN the same instant felt Bucks
left hand clamp down around his
wrist and jerk him sharply for
ward. Instead of resisting the pull,
he Moved forward with it and at
the same time dropped on one
knee. From the corner of his eye
he saw Bucks knife flashing to-
ward him and hunched his Shout
derS as it Kissed harmleSSly past
above his head.
His own knife was swinging
now, rising from the ground in an
upward-arching blow that struck
Buck just behind the left knee.
He felt the Shudder of the steel
as it smashed through the thin
tendons at the back of the knee
and buried itself deep in the bone,
half caught in its Self-made wise
until he tore it loose as the leg
began to culver and collapse.
Buck screamed In agony, his
head thrown back as the pain
swept through him. Staring into
his eyes, Clay saw that they were
no more than tiny pin points. and
with sudden binding horror he
knew that the torture of the
butchered knee had driven the
man before him stark, staring
mad.
1t was like being bound 10 some
dark monster Spewed up from the
depths of hell, and as the sickness
OF revulsion swept over him his
own knife leaped up like a tongue
of flame and then came crashing
down IN a screaming, mercileSs
arc.
He felt it bite through flesh and
bone, knew blindly il had cleaved
the living flesh that bound Buck
to him. He was free again; free of
the gross evil that had been so
close a brief instant before. Now
only a part of it remained. Only

Dex growled deep in his throat
but before he could speak Clay was
on his feet and charging across
the circle in a single fluid motion
that brought him face to face with
Buck.
Another man might have
checked himself before Bucks

Without giving him an instant to
recover, Clay'S fist dashed out saw
agely again, and this time Bucks
head rolled on his shoulders as he
stumbled backward and collapsed
in the dust.
He felt his body tensing for a
new and final attack-and in the
same instant was aware of new
figure moving into his field of vi
sion: A cooked pistol was ready
in his hind.
Don't go no further, stranger,
he said. "If there's goin' to be
more fightin' here, it's goin' to be

The rat-faced man grinned.

Clay selected an empty spot
against the wall and stretched his
long legs out on the ground.

Lazy talk drifted back and forth
and Clay's eyes ranged from
speaker to speaker, measuring
them in the light of his own flu

Clay watched him he decided that

Hints For Using
Leftover Turkey

RALEIGH B-Want to add some
variety to your leftover Thanksgiv-
ing turkey?
Here are some suggestions by
Miss Virginia Wilson, extension
specialist with North Carolina State
College:
Cook frozen broccoli for about
one minute, drain and place in a
baking dish. Cover with chopped
turkey, cheese sauce, and crumbs.
Brown in a moderate oven for
about 10 minutes.
Another dish she suggests is
made by cooking noodles or spa
ghetti in turkey broth. After cook
ing, place in a baking dish with
chopped turkey and cover with a
cheese sauce. For a little more
variety, add some chopped mush-
rooms or blanched almonds. For a
really unusual flavor, add a few
chopped ripe olives. Bake the cas-
serole in a slow oven for about IL
minutes.

enfolk. There is something about q
mustache on the lip of the man
she loves that brings out the ma.
ternal ioness in gal.
Her creed is simple: ''Love that
man-adore his muStache." And il
you refer ever so slightingly to the
fuzz patch under his nostrilS she
leaps to its defense almost as
quickly as if you had trampled
one of her children. She counter
attacks with fury, with fists, will

l found this out by writing q
piece questioning the romantic i'm.
pact of the mustache. My theory
was--and iS--that man ordinarily
grows a muStache to cure an in.
feriority complex and that it turns
aim into a snob faster than il

lars.
Naturally, I was honest enough
20 admit myself that personal jeal-
ousy had influenced my thinking:
The only time / ever tried to grow
a mustache it dropped like limp
hay.
Well, most of my friends with
mustaches were quite tolerant
about the whole thing, twirling
their small fur forests as they
sneered tauntingly: "Snobs are
we? Don't you wish you could be
a Snob, too, junior?"
But the women got angry. They
said a muStache is downright low
able.
"Being a woman I would ten
times rather be kissed by mus
tache than all the smooth-faced
yokels like you or some other men
I could think Of" wrote a riled
lady from Ann Arbor, Mich.
Before l could brood my way out
of the inferiority complex this note
gave me, another one care from
an Akron, Ohio, lass:
believe me, being kissed by a
man with a mustache isn't at all
like being hit in the face with a
dry toothbrush. It's more like hav-
ing the warmth of nature close to
you-cavemanish. Warmth is a
nice necessity in a kiss"
Well, yes. But you could argue
on those grounds that a rubber hot
water bag is even more romantic
than a mustache.
A gentleman sailor from Boston
wired me pityingly:
Haven't you heard the old say
ing of Scottish lassies, that kissing
a man without mustache is like
eating an egg without salt?"
Another man said:
81 grew a mustache because my
wife likes Robert Taylor, and he
has a muStache. Now my wife
likes me, tool think, hope"
Still another fellow threatened to
bring me before Gov. Dewey of
New York, who has packed a
mustache for years, and added:
"That'n mean Sing Sing prison for
you--so better take care"
There also was a perfect torrent
of feminine mail that can be
summed up this way:
81 love my husband and am
proud of his mustache. And your
wife would probably like you bet
ter if you grew a mustache too
on top of your head"
Well, okay, so l was wrong. A
muStache can be more than a
mouse cover. Behind every manly
muStache turks tender woman's
bristly pride.
A balding man needs every ro-
mantle crutch he can lean upon.
So it's a pair of sweeping mus
tachios for me right away. The

injured War Veterans
Deserve Best Medical
Care, Stevenson Says

Gov. Stevenson today told the
American Veterans Of World War
II that injured or disabled war
veterans should receive ''the best
medical care which a grateful
Nation can provide"
The Governors stand on the
veterans medical program came
in the form of letter to Anvets
National Commander Marshall E.
Miller.
Mr.. Miller has quizzed both can
|didates on the question Of the
Veterans Administration medical
program and on high prices.
Entitled to Best Care.
II am delighted to answer your
letter II. in which you ask my
position on the veterans medical
program and the problem of high
prices" Gov. Stevenson wrote.
There is no question but that
our war veterans who have suf-
fered illness or injuries or dis
abilities due to their military serv-
ice are entitled to the best medi-
cal care which a grateful Nation
can provide.
"Our Veterans Administration
hospitals should be adequately
stated. And the neuropsychiatric
cases deserve and should receive
special attention"
Would Enlarge Facilities.
Gov. Stevenson added that the
facilities Of the VA for treatment
of persons physically or mentally
incapacitated by service should be
increased.
On the subject Of high prices,
Gov. Stevenson said:
II am for a positive, vigorous
program to control prices and
maintain the living standards of
veterans, pensioners and others
Iof our citizens who have a fixed
and limited income. The protec-
ton of the great mass Of people
|at the bottom Of the economic
ladder Is. Ia the last analysis, the
