Coroner Asa W. Allen viewed the body and said that he would con duct an investigation to determine if an inquest would be necessary. Barefoot, according to police •reports, was challenged by officers last Friday night as he was want ing down Dawson street in an ap parently drunken condition.

His body was hurled up on the hood of the car by the force of the impact and his head struck the windshield with sufficient force to shatter it.

It was a smile that held triumph and sat isfaction. She had certainly made Tommy Dare open his eyes; she hoped, by that parting shot that had told him she was not going alone, but had not revealed with whom she was going, she had giv en him something to think about. And it had served to give Tibby herself a measure of poise that would still any inward trepidation she might otherwise have felt. She almost felt as sophisticated as she believed she looked, as if she were used to driving about in taxis, attending social functions, mixing w'ith celebrities, being es corted by a man like Wayne Court right. Away in one corner of her heart had been a tiny grain of ap prehension, because she was not used to all this, but now it was swept away. She might be Cinder ella on her way to her first ball, but she felt as if she would be able to act like the princess. However, although she may have felt that part, Tibby did not look sophisticated. If she had, she would not have had the effect she was to have upon Wayne that eve ning. He was used to sophisticated ladies: he was bored to death with them. When he saw Tibby, in her lovely white dress, that shining look in her eyes, her cheeks flush ed, his heart, that had been bored so long, too. that he almost had forgotten he possessed such an or gan. did a somersault: his jaded pulses quickened. Tibby, in his eyes, looked like love's young dream. She looked like the rosebuds that composed the corsage he had ordered for her. because only such buds, un opened. damp with dew. had, to him. seemed appropriate. “My dear.” he said, hurrying forward to greet her, “I wish there were words to tell you how lovely you are. Words would not do: it would have to be set to music. You are the stars tonight, the crest of an ocean wave, the tenderness of twilight. In breif. Miss Elizabeth Lane, you are almost too beauti ful.” "You make me almost believe it.” Tibby thanked him demurely from the wisdom of her newly ac quired manner. She was not expert at this type of light, yet serious flirtation, or used to being called beautiful. “And thank you for these,” she added, touching the dewy rosebuds. “They’re so ex quisite! And see,” she spread her wide skirts, as though about to make him an old-fashioned curt sey. “They match the artificial ones, as if you had known about them.” “I know,” he assured her grave ly, “that nothing artificial would become you. And these real ones were created just for you. We’re sitting at the speaker's table, so I expect we had better go on in, although I doubt if anyone will be able to attend to what is said, with you to feast their eyes upon. . Come, my dear.” He offered her his arm, as though she were in deed a princess. She knew, of course, that he was teasing, from the humor about his mouth, although his gray eyes had been almost too somber, as if on guard against the glibness of his tongue, for his pulses and his heart were still behaving in this most extraordinary way. It was as if having been so rudely awakened. they did not mean to settle back to their old passivity, as if he, Wayne Courtright, had lost his iron con trol of them. That seemed ridiculous, improb able, in fact, for Wayne always was in complete control of his emotions; his head always ruled over his heart. He might indulge them—heart and emotions—for a fleeting moment or so, but always they were put back in order the instant he ruled that they should be. Tonight proved the exception to this rule. It was not just that he had found the way Tibby looked so disturbing; it was the way she was, so young, so earnest, so thrilled. It was seeing things through her bright eyes—the long, candle-lit table, gleaming with crystal and silver, burdened with flowers, the beautiful women and well-groomed men, the excellent service and incomparable food, the low laughter and spontaneous bursts of applause, the voice of a cornet and the shush-shush of dancing feet, the fragrance of a woman’s hair so close to his nos trils, the warmth of her slender body held in his arms. No, Wayne could not remember when he Had lived an evening like this—for “lived” was the new meaning that this evening, seen through Tibby's eyes, experienced through her senses, held: it had been so long ago. in his own first youth, that this was like returning to a forgotten country, a country one never should have left. "Having fun?” he asked her, bending his head close to hers, his eyes seeking and holding her glance. He had just reclaimed her for the end of this dance, having had to relinquish her throughout the evening more often than he had liked, although he wanted her to enjoy the popularity that was her due. “Lots of fun.” She rfbdded her head, her eyes smiling back into his. Fun was not a fitting descrip tion—it went with the ordinary sort of good times Tibbv was used to. This evening had been exciting, dramatic, a peek into a fairy land. Everything was so right, so per fect, so beautiful: everyone was so charming, so gay. “It’s been lovely,” she added, on a little sigh, for. being young, an ending al ways was poignantly sad to Tibby. Why couldn’t such loveliness just go on and on? “Now. Cinderella,” he reproved, “don’t start listening for the clock to strike 12. Remember I told you you did not have to run away. Or return to the tattered garments of everyday life when the coach and four change into mice again. There is no reason, my dear, why we cannot do this again—and often.” His tone, the set of his lips were firm. The smile still lingered in Tib by’s eyes, but she did not nod her head again. “I guess not,” she admitted, but her tone held a shadow of uncer tainty. The clock was beginning to strike the midnight hour in Tibby’s consciousness. Maybe this one time should be sufficient. Maybe they should not try to repeat it. Repitition seldom contained the same element of delight, just as anticipation usually dimmed reali ty in comparison. “That's another agreement—like our being friends.” Wayne pressed her closer for a brief moment, as the dream-filled waltz came to an end.

Inc., mgs; he was adept at them, often making them serve his purpose, but now he, too, felt a sadness, a sense of reluctance that he must open his arms so that they would be emptied, allowing her to es cape from him. At first he had wanted friend ship from Tibby to make her aware of him, as a man. This had been strengthened by her indif ference, even her refusal to accept him. Now, aftr this evening, he knew it was Tibby, herself, that was the challenge. He had to have her friendship. He must win her warm approval, her eager liking. He was aware even that this might lead to more than that. He might, as he had told her, want more of her than mere friendship, much more than that. He might, in her, have found not only a lost country, but a promised land, in that she might be the one woman he would find he had to have. He had loved other women be fore. They had stirred his senses, quickened his heart-beat, but not like this, not without his willing it to be so, with his clear conscious ness, as well as that other uncon scious, uncontrollable self hidden within every man. He cud not mink ne was in love with Tibby yet, but he knew he might be soon. The amazing part' was that, knowing this, he plunged blindly ahead. He still believed, of course, that he could make the ending when he chose—making it, as well, the one he wanted. (To Be' Continued) -V 500 Enlisted Men Get Commissions In Army Air Corps MIAMI BEACH. Fla., May 11— MB—The Army Air Corps today gave commissions as second lieu tenants to 500 picked enlisted men —the first graduates from its only non-flying officer candidate school. In 10 weeks of intensive work in the colorful setting of this swank winter resort, the men completed a three months’ course of military and academic study and body building r alisihenics and athletics. For classrooms, they used the lounges or one-time bars of fash ionable oceanfront hotels, or s a i beneath palm trees on lawns, in parks or on the beach itself. They bunked in double-decker beds in once-expensive suites in the hotels. BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES ? ! ! / By EDGAR MARTIN; W ASH TUBBS One Less Jap Bv Rov Crane SI'PERM AN , Lafayette, We Are Here!
