Il Short Story

by KObEKI OkInOIND O<1OE
Ut WAS one of those blistering
Il fall days on the Elder-McIlroy
placer claim. Crickets buzzed along
the rimrock and a lone buzzard
wheeled above the painted desert.
Dust pillars stood motionless down
there, supporting the brazen sky.
Along about midafternoon, Bill
Elder broke. 1t wasn't the heat as
much as the monotony of it. Life
was like the desert, shimmering and
motionless. Something piled up in
side a map slntil he finally cracked
and joyous inner voice whispered:
'"This is the hour"
Joel Strengthened up, too, and
looked at Bill. He knew what it
meant; they'd been partners nine
teen years. So Joel just sighed and
wiped the sweat from his shaggy
eyebrows. 'I'll not be arguing with
you," he said. 1--WE only got seven
dollars
Cup in the tobacco can on the
shelf" said Bill, tightening his belt.
'Yes," said Joel. "And yell be
paying it back, laddie, when you're
over your spree"
at isn't that I crave to get filthy
drunk, Joel It's just that you can't
help but think: Where's our percen-
tage? We work on this chin-whisker
claim, month in and month out
''THE CLEANUP averages three
dollars day." said Joel.
(Which is two jumps and squat
ahead of starvation" said Bill.
Enough for each winter and a
spring grubstake. It's hard money,
Joel"
There's none easy" said Joel.
'@That you'll never learn. Your SHOW
Ell will be waiting right here where
you left it"
So Bill went down to the cabin
and took the seven dollars out of
the can and went down to Canyon
City. When he got there he was
both hungry and thirsty, but when
he went by store window and saw
how shaggy he was, he turned into
barbershop and said, Hacker off. >
While the barber was clipping his
hair a string of sleek horses went
by, lean as snakes.
Bill asked how come and the bar.
Der told him there was horse racing
down below. All the blooded sport:
would be there. "That's me-" Bill
said. II can take on a load of vic

For New York Mayor
Is Nearing Climax
Race VituI to New Deal
Democrats Striving
For q Comeback
BY Gould Lincoln
Star Stoff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-New
York's mayoralty campaign, now
in its final mud-slinging phase,
is of vital interest:
First, to the city's debt-ridden,
heavily taxed people.
Second, to those New Deal
Democrats who hope to stage a
major comeback in the State and
congressional elections next year.
Three main candidates for
Mayor are fighting it out. Two
are Democrats, although one of
them is running as the candi-
date of the Liberal Party, and
the third is a Republican. The
American Labor Party also has
a candidate in the field who will
be an also ran.
Robert F. Wagner, jr., presi-
dent of Manhattan Borough
and son of the late New Deal
Senator, has the Democratic
nomination. The Liberal Party
candidate is Rudolph HALEY,
president of the New York City
Council, who leaped into the
limelight in 1850 as chief counsel
for the Kefauver Senate Crime
Investigating Committee. The
Republicans have as their can

most recent public office was
postmaster of New York.

Until last Wednesday a third
Democrat, the present Mayor
Impelletteri, was one of the prin-

the Independent Experience
Party. Supreme Court Justice
William J. Munson, an upstate
Republican, ruled in an action
brought by Mr.. Wagner, that
Mayor Impelletteri's nominating
petitions had only 5.278 valid
signatures when a minimum of
$500 were required. This threw
Mayor Impelletteri off the bal
lot. The Mayor has decided not
to attempt a write-in campaign.
