Billy Peace, Henderson’s plunging fullback, accounted for every point scored by the Bulldogs, turning ip the first with a 45 yard touchdown jaunt behind perfect blocking by his mates, after taking a South Hill punt. He smashed- over tackle for the extra point. The visitors were not long in push ing over their only tally of the con test, the score earning early in the second quarter when they intercepted a pass from Dunne, intended for Peace on Henderson’s 22-yard line. A 15- yard penalty for unnecessary rough ness placed the ball on Henderson’s seven yard stripe, and four bucks pujt the ball oven. The visitors outweighed the Bull dogs by about ten pounds to the man, but Henderson's offensive elicked at times to keep the Bulldogs well ahead. .Captain Tommy Jenkins turned in a fine game backing up the line as rov ing center.

C. State College needs in a stgood line coach. More than this, the genial Hick man, former All-America guard at Tennessee, and member of the Brook lyn Dodgers professional football team for three years, is well versed in foot ball lore.. A stickler for detail, he spends end less hours drilling the State linemen in fundamentals and the execution of Head Coach Williams (Doc) Newton’s coraadie plays. HJokman came to State last winter from Wake Forest where he establish ed a reputation as one of the best line eoaehes in -the eountry. Hickman has been an outstanding sport figure since his college days at the University of Tennessee. He is considered one of the greatest linemen ever developed in the South and is the only Southerner on Grantland Rice’s “The Decade’s Greatest Eleven.” The State mentor entered Tennessee •io 4928 and in 1931 made every All- American team.

After finishing . college, Hickman joined the Brooklyn Dodgers and play ed. professional football for three years, 1932-34. He was selected on the all-professional National League team his last twq years and in 1934 also coached the line for the Dodgers.

She was named during the heat of pre convention campaign of the Young Democrats, either as a sop to her for or as the open announcement of some pulling out of the race for president thing that had already been decided upon. Mr. Sample now is about ready to get going in earnest, however. His division has been given ample office space in the Carolina hotel; his budget has been approved informally, though no official setting up of it has yet been announced. Friday he sent out a complete instructional pamphlet to all his district officer appointees, all Os whom will be called into Raleigh at once for at least a week’s intensive training in the duties of the offices they are to hold. They’ll prohably need it, as all seem to have had more ex r perience in politics than; in probation. ~IE AD RE CKO NINES I -/fß* By BRUCE HAMILTON t>J m —J QNKj COPYRIGHT BY BRUCE HAMILTON! RELEASED BY CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION READ THIS FIRST: Tim Kennedy, who has been writing a suicide note to himself in his wife s handwriting, graduated into homicide from the school of armchair murderers. At middle age, having made a fortu nate marriage to Esther Asbwell. and possessing a lucrative dental practice and an enviable social position in a small town near London, Tim felt happy and secure. Then Esther was run down by a truck. Weeks later she was brought home, a physical wreck and a cripple for life, with only a hint of her former beauty left. Tim loses all in terest in his wife because of her ap pearance. He suggests they hold their annual tennis party despite her condi tion. He looks forward to an appoint ment with Alma Shepherd, a widow and new client whom be has suggested to Esther they invite to the tennis party. At his office Tin? arranges spe cial flowers for Mrs. Shepherd’s bene fit as she arrives. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY; CHAPTER 10 IN AN interval when she was able to speak, Alma Shepherd sighed, as she sat in Kennedy's dental chair. “I envy you your flowers,? she said. “I’ve only got a tiny garden at Maybank—half an acre. It doesn’t give much scope." “One can get a lot of fun out of a small garden.” “But not much variety. . . . You know, I think I’ve passed your place. It’s in the forest, isn’t it— off the Bradstock road?” This was coming halfway to meet him with a vengeance. “That’s right. You go down that steep lane turning off to the left at the top of the ridge oppo site Gates’ farm. It’s a perfectly beastly little lane, steep and nar row and winding. Our house, The Wilderness, is to the left, about three-quarters of a mile down— there are two big stone pUlars Where a gate was once.” “Yes, I’ve passed it. It looked a lovely place.” “You must come and see it one day. . . . Are you a tennis player, Mrs. Shepherd?” “Yes, I love tennis. Though I haven’t played seriously for several years now.” “We’re having a little tennis party on Saturday afternoon, about half past two. Just a few friends. I would very much like you to meet my wife. Would you care to come along, if you’ve nothing else on hand ?” Perfectly easy and unforced. .. . Nevertheless, he awaited her reply with some trepidation. “I'd love to. ... . Oh, but I'm afraid I can’t.” Her face clouded over. “I promised to take Phyllis Grantley for a run into West bourne.” “That’s too . bad. But perhaps we can fix it. We know Phyllis— we were going to ask her top. I can ring her up-—that is, if you’d really like to come?” “Oh, I would. After all, we can go into Westbourne any day.” “Righto Now, Mrs. Shepherd, bite gently on that.” She obeyed, smiling. “All right?” he asked. “Perfect.” “Sure?” “Absolutely,” 4 “I thought it would be. . . . Per haps I’d better just take a look at the rest. ... You know, Mrs. Shep herd, you are as near having a per fect set of teeth as anyone I’ve ever seen. You must look after them very well.” “They’ve never given me any trouble. Do you know, Mr. Ken nedy, you’re the first dentist I’ve been to since I was a child ?” “Is that really so? You’re very lucky to have kept out of our clutches . . . And there now, I can’t find a possible excuse for keeping you in , mine. There’s not * blem ish.” He helped her out of the chair. “I'll ring Phyllis now, if you don’t mind waiting a moment.” I “Won’t it be keeping you back?” “Not a tat of it.” He went to the desk, and took up the tele-] phone. “Hello. Nine six, please. . . , Is that the rectory ? . . . Oh, hello, Mr. Grantley, Tim Kennedy: speaking. Is Phyllis about the 5 house? Good, I'll wait! . . . He 110,.; Phyllis. Look, will ydu come up for our annual oh Saturday? . . . No, wait, I know all about that. Mrs. Shepherd is here in my surgery, and I’ve asked her to come too. She says she'd love to.

It was Esther’s own suggestion. She wants to make as few changes as possible. You un derstand. Right, then , , , good bye.” He put up the receiver, and turned smilingly to Mrs. Shepherd. “That’s settled, then.” “Splendid! Thanks most awfully —it’s really kind of you.” “It’s a great pleasure. There’ll be about half a dozen of u 5.... My wife can’t play just yet, I’m afraid. She had a bad accident last year,” “Yes, I heard. I’m so sorry.” Tragedy exacted the tribute of a moment’s pavfse. “She’ll be very happy to meet you, though,” said Kennedy. “And I her.” Mrs. Shepherd held out her hand. “Well, many thanks again.” “You’re forgetting your daffo dils.” Kennedy took half a dozen of the choicest blooms from the vase. “I expect these will be a bit long for the vase in your car,” he added. “If you wait just a mo ment I'll trim them up.” He took a pair of scissors, held the flowers together, and with deli cate precision snipped about four inches off the stalks. “That’s bet ter,” he said. “You tire thoughtful.” He smiled deprecatingly. “Not at all. ... I hope you have a nice day in town.” “It’s nothing exciting—just shop ping. .. . Well—till Saturday.” “Till Saturday.” He saw her into Adams’ care in the hall, then returned to the sur gery, a warm glow of satisfaction within him. In the small hours of Satur day morning Esther had one of her nightmares. She was in a narrow lane, across which a great tree wsus on the point of falling. There were people about, and they cried out to her in warning. She heard the cries, she knew the tree weis about to fall upon her, but she could not see it. She had to run, but blindly, she did not know where to run. There was an obstacle in her way. She had to move it, 3he hag to move it. . . . The nurse, who slept in the adjoining dressing room with" the door open, found her crouched at the foot of the bed, which she had managed to move a yard out of its true alignment. She had bruised her hands a little, but otherwise done herself no hurt. Sitting on the edge of the bed after breakfast, Which he had ;taken upstairs, Tim was inclined to take the matter lightly. “It was that Welsh rabbit.” he said. “You've got to be carefg what you eat at night.” Esther herself, though on edge a little more than usual, had the vaguest memory of her terror. Shi had been awakened only to fall at once into a child’s sleep, lasting well into the morning. She knew] too, that she was inclined to eat rather imprudently in the evenings. She found these days that she only began to feel her real self as the day failed: until then she could only peck at her food. “But it can’t be gooa my sleeping alone, Tim,” she said, “if I’m liable to do things like that.” “Well, we can put a small bed in your room and let the nurse sleep there. Then she’ll be right on the spot.” Esther’s face clouded. “I dont want to sleep with her. She’s a silly girt; she’d only irritate me and make me worse.” He ignored the pleading in her eyes. “Well, let’s change her. Or, if you like, get a special night nurse —someone you can really like.” She made an impatient gesture. “Nurses. ... I don’t want a nurse any longer, Tim. It only reminds me. . . . Listen, Tim, you can do the dressing to my arm; it’s only twice a week now. Can’t we get rid of the girl?” He shook his head, pursing his lips into a smile. “We’ll think about it, dear. Pen baps soon. I don’t think it would be wise just yet. . . Now Esther, lie back euid take it easy. I don’t wEint you to get up until just he* fore lunch. You’ve got to be fit for the party.” “The party. . . . Have we got to have them, Tim?” He smswered her deprecatingly. | “Well, dear, yes. I think we have. Do you want me to ring them up and tell them not to come, because you’ve had a bad dream?’ His smile took any sting from the words. “I suppose we must. I don t know how I'm going to face it though.” He considered a moment. “I don’t think you need stay down,'too long. You can make your excuse# after tea— they’ll under stand. I I can look after them au right.” The nurse bustled in. “You bad man,” she said You know this room is out of bounds for you at this time. Get alo g with you!” . .
