With Their Hut
The Olrl Scout Tryop l and 2 have
been very busy at their hut on Gary
street, it was learned today from one
of their leaders. They have completed
a very nice tennis court just to the
rear of their hut with the aid of the
city employees and members of the
local Kiwanis club. They hold their
meetings at this hut, and, after their
regular work is finished, they play
tennis, if they so desire. This court
will probably be used a great deal
during the summer months while the
Scouts are vacating from school.
Miss Carrie Burton is leader in this
project of the Scouts.

CHAPTER S
AS TOM and 1 had entered, Sam,
with his perpetual grin, had come
chuckling over to meet us and es
corted us over to the corner booth,
where Larry and lone were holding
forth.
“Folks down on the South Side
whar I lives, tells me you-all got my
name In yo' ac’ on the air. Mista
Barry." Sam announced, chuckling.
"That's fight" Tom told him with
a grin. “Have to keep you before
the public. Sam.”
"Catacomb’s cat say Sam's going
to remember you for that,” Sam of
fered. still chuckling.
"Great old guy." Tom commented
aa Sam made off, having ascertained
our wishes In the manner of refresh
ment.
Sam’s was distinctly one of the
places. His personality had developed
a big following. Those dim recesses
under the Drive that led to the Cata
combs were frequented by banker,
broker, copper, Judge, scribe, artist,
actor and official.
When business wasn’t too pressing.
Bain would gladly blend his rich bari
tone with you in song. Just before
pay day he wrote graciously on his
cuff, and a mangy Tom cat which
he kept about the place frequently,
so Sam said, ordered him to treat his
guests.
“Well, I see you and Henderson
got together on another deal.” I,arry
observed In mocking jest, pointing to
the new addition to my small library.
"What la It this time?”
"That's a genuine first edition for
which I parted with exactly fifty
Cents." 1 Informed him. "It's an old
ship's log of a cruise made a cen
tury ago to trade trinkets to canni
bals for pearls down In the South
Sea islands—lt’s the only copy, so it
becomes a first as well as an only
edition."
Through half -closed eyes lone
meditatively studied the celling for a
moment.
“South Beaa. with great crescents
of white beach, fringed with tall,
graceful palms. The soft swish of
the sea. ceaselessly washing the
sand; blue, wide sea on which the
sun scatters myriads of glittering
diamonds. Quiet lagoons and pearls

grand picture." and she opened her

"About what?” Tom wanted to

"Oh, the depression and—"
"What a unique topic of conversa

“ —and Life is general." he finished.
"That takes In more territory and
widens the field slightly, nt that." I
admitted.
“Just !>efore we came (n you were

"That we etift dwellers of civiliza
tion’s great cities are a lot of eco
nomic slaves, chained to desks and
pay envelopes, just as surely as gal
ley slaves were chained." Larry
growled. "Wo spend our lives writ
ing bail stories about the antics of a
lot of uninteresting people for nit

"Yes, 1 know what you mean,”
I broke In. "Stay In tire rut because
It Is • firm, safe and comfortable. All

Tom. who had been studying the

"It Is sort of futile,” he said softly.
"1 grind away on that script anti

"We are so busy battling the mob

"We’re afraid to take life with koth

fully. "So we stay In habits's chains,
that mentioned, until we get
old and doddering without memories
of how the rest of the vorld lives.
Then we die and get one small grave

She read;
"’I have this day determined to
