Hello, Parrlal" It was Randy Monaghan hanging over the tall fence at the top of the embankment. Drake spoke quickly.

"We're goin' down to Elroy's Icehouse." "What for?" "Nothin 1 much. Swing on the rings maybe." "It's cool down there." "Why don't you come, too?" Randy was evidently waiting for the invitation. They opened a heavy door and jumped down on a great pile of sawdust. The air was damp and cool. It was dark, too, after the glare.

"Gee, most of the ice is gone. See how low it's gettin'?" Drake seized the two rings and swung far out from the tall heap. He let go and landed on his feet, half burying himself in the loose dry sawdust. Rundy struggled up to the rings which swung from the rafters. you skin the cat?" "Sure!" Drake scoffed.

"But I bet you can't." She executed the feat, her stout legs cutting her hold neatly, and landed upright. "Pretty good." "I can do the double roll on the pnr'llel bars, too." "Doggone," Drake exclaimed. "Where'd you learn to do it?" "Jake Elroy showed me. He can dp a lot of things. Come on, Parris, you try." With her encouragement and advice Parris made rapid progress, but the double roll was beyond him.

They retraced their way along the railroad track. Randy walked along the rail, balancing herself from time to time by a touch on Parris 1 shoulder. He felt quite happy when she did this and stayed carefully in easy reach. Randy ran up the embankment. "I'm comin' down this way again sometimes," Drake said.

"All right," she answered care- lessly. "It's a free country, I guess." Parris felt strangaly happy. He felt that he was a closer friend of Drake's than he had ever been bofore. It would be exciting to see him often. And Randy, too.

He had never imagined she would be so amusing. He thought of Renee with a sudden stab of contrition. He hadn't thought of her all day, and she was certainly his best friend. HTHE whole of Kings Row lay on a gentle slope that lifted gradually from the creek on the south to" the straggle of Negro quarters that edged the northern boundary of the town with a disreputable fringe of shacks and haphazard lanes. On the northwest the land dropped suddenly down a sleep incline.

There, at the foot of the hill, was a streach of level ground perhaps a quarter of a mile square which was the site of Jinktown. "Benny Singer and his mother lived in the smallest of the Jink- town rooms, one of them hardly more than a lean-to. Benny was a big, gangling boy of 16, good-natured and, in his awkward fashion, kind. Benny was a halfwit, but his mother was thankful that he was obedient and affectionate. Benny walked with a slight roll as though his head were too heavy for his body.

He was not exactly comfortable in his mind. He was trying to remember something. All at once he slowed his walk. He remembered now what it was he was trying to think about. He stopped and looked back toward home.

Almost he wished he didn't have to go to school. He hadn't been promoted last year and he'd have to stay in the same class with the very young kids. When he came in sight of the playground he forgot all about it. Lots and lots of the kids were there already. He hurried.

He paused on top of the stile and looked at the boys running about. They caught sight of him. Fulmer Green shouted, "Looky! There's Benny. C'mon, Ol' crazy Ben!" He winked, screwing his mouth to one side so that his teeth showed all the way back. "C'mon." A crowd gathered around the stile.

Their grins were derisive, but Benny did not know that. Their eyes were eager for some chance to make fun of for him to say something silly, but he did not know it. He stepped down from the stile. "Hello, everybody," he said hap- Pily. 1 HB next two years were not exactly pleasant ones for Parris.

School itself was less nter- estlng. He had a new teacher, Miss Martha Colt. None of the children liked her. Parris was not unaware of the changes in himself or unobservant of the changes in others. But almost without noticing it he and his friends began to think of themselves as an older crowd.

The children in Miss Venable's room seemed very young. Drake, who was nearly 16, kept his friendship with Parris, who found the association flattering. On his 14th birthday Parris had his usual birthday supper with a cake and candles. Renee was his only guest. Renee gave him three handkerchiefs with crooked initials worked in the corners.

She had made them herself. After supper Anna, the stout German maid, gave him 14 playful for each and another to grow on. "It's after eight, Parris," Madame reminded him. "You'd better walk down to Renee's house with her. It's moonlight.

You're not afraid to come back by yourself, are you?" He flushed. His grandmother didn't seem to realize he was 14 and would have to shave next year. "Of C9urse not," he answered impatiently. As they went down the terrace steps Renee took his hand. "I guess I ought to give you 14 licks, too, like Anna did." He laughed, but the laugh died quickly and his throat tightened.

He swallowed. "I'd rather you'd kiss me," he said. "All right," she said readily. I'll kiss you 14 times." She placed her hands on his shoulders and kissed him on the mouth, counting each time. "12 13 .14 and a big one to grow on." He returned the embrace awkwardly and they stood for a moment a little breathless.

The moon shone full on her face. "That's the best birthday present I ever had," he said. The gallantry of his speech surprised him, but he was pleased to have said it love you, Renee." "I'd like to be your girl. I guess you're my sweetheart, too." "Let's be sweethearts forever, Renee, you and me." "All right." "Cross your heart?" he demanded. And hope to die," she replied.

"Good night, Renee." "Well, see you tomorrow, Parris." "Good night, then." "G'night." Her voice trailed the words softly, (To Be Continued) Williams of Texnrkana.

Cook's Willie Star Laundry and Cleaners is a member of this organization and, as such, has access to their findings with the result that this firm's methods represent the last word in laundry practice. During the period in which clothing is being washed at Cuok's Laundry, for example, the water in each tub is changed from 6 tu 10 times so that your clothing is always in fresh, pure, distilled, soft water. is that all clothing sent to Cook's Laundry is thoroughly sterilized.

Hart as Allied naval commander in the southwest Pacific was ascribed over the weekend by the unofficial Army and Navy Journal to a desire to "molify the Dutch government." The Netherlands Indies government, said the service periodical which circulates among army, navy and air officers 'has insisted that it is entitled to representation on the staff of General Wavelly" in general command of the defense of this fighting front.

Vice Admiral C. E. L. Helfrich 55 veteran of The Netherlands' naval service, succeeded Har.t. The United States Navy Department, in announcing the change, said Hart had requested to be relieved "because of ill health." The Journal said: "Those who know Admiral Hart his staunch courage, his inflexible will, his wiry physique are convinced that only orders from Washington or death would have induced him to leave his command.

We are assured that upon return to Washington, a new assignment will be given to the admiral which will be a recognition of the gallant and effective service lie has performed." The Journal advanced the suggestion also that the president and congress join in authorizing Hart to retain the grade of full admiral and also that "a grateful country should give him a rousing welcome." Says U. S. Lost 8 Capital Ships Congress Asserts Pearl Harbor Truth Is 'Veiled 7 LAPEER, Mich. Representative Jesse P. Wolcott declares that current lack of information regarding activities of the United States Pacific fleet is "due to the fact that America lost conrtol of the Pacific at Peral Harbor." "This control was lost," Wolcott told a Republican rally here over the week-end "because eight of nine American capital ships light and heavy cruisers and were in Pearl Harbor on December 7 when the Japanese attacked were destroyed, as well as 473 bomber planes, which were reduced to scrap.

CREOMULSION for Coughs, Chest Colds, Bronchitis Use Ice For Proper Refrigeration Economical, practical and heallhful.Osorbed by the water and carried off nntllltlilKnilll .1 pure commercial icp is still our most desirable form of refrigeration. Manufactured and delivered by the Southern Ice which also sells Cooleralor air-cpiiditioncd refrigerators in all sizes and price classes.

Managed by A. B. Spraggins, Only with low temperature can we preserve and keep fresh the numerous perishable foods and delicacies which make up the present day menu. However, "Cold Alone Is Not Enough." Proper refrigeration demands air diffusion of moisture and air as well as low temperature to prevent evaporation of the moisture in foods. Melting ice provides this moisture in the only practical way.

Without it, the dry low temperature robs vegetables and foods of their moisture, causing them to dry out and lose much of their flavor. Another thing is that in the air-conditioned refrigerator in which commercial ice is placed there is a complete circulation of air about seven times per minute. This operation carries odors from fresh foods around to the melting ice where they are ab- down the drain, thus constantly purifying the air and preventing such odors from being absorbed by the other foods. In an air-conditioned ice refrigerator there is no need to cover individual dishes of foods and thereby increase the rapidity of bacteria 50 per cent greater in a covered dish through breathing the same air the temperature is maintained at a level regardless of the amount of ice in the box. There are many other features, contributing to the desirability of commercial ice in keeping our foods fresh and a call at the Southern Ice Co.

will find them glad to explain the same to you. The Southern Ice Co. also recommends and endorses the Coolerator as an outstanding example of the modern, air-conditioned refrigerator.
