Be had anticipated a gloating triumph when he brought back Nate Wilkinson's daughter and, in her father's presence, compelled her to marry Gabe Cox. Now, be thought savagely, if he caught them, he would give Betty to Tobey. Alter that, Tobey and his braves would take care of Wilkinson and Mor- tlson. He didn't dislike Betty when he thought di her father, and the humiliation and pain that man had once caused him to endure.

There had been times when he was even fond of her, although he was always quick to anger when she displeased him. Another thing that had stayed his hand somewhat with regard to Betty Was that old Jess Williams was his oldest and most dependable man, and Williams would have died for aer. His final coup, he knew, would have to be pulled off 'Without Williams' knowledge. Zad was, of course, instantly suspicious of Cass bean, the beautiful woman who had arrived during the night with Al Tasker. She admitted having come here to find Morrison, but when he questioned her, her air of innocence was authentic enough to convince even Zad.

"You told me he wasnt here," she complained sweetly, "and 1 had no reason to doubt your word.

After all, be was not so Old, and he had plenty of money. began to spin A fanciful tale of how he had contrived to pester the North all through the war; Intimating that he had many times veered outside the law.

She schemed to be lapping it up with enthusiastic approval. "But how does Pete Morrison come into it?" she asked. "Simple. Now that the Yankees have won the war they're out to punish me and take away everything I've got Morrison is the man they sent to do it, and I outsmarted him." "What were you going to do with him?" He wanted to ten her the truth, but didn't quite dare. "I intended to hold, him a prisoner until his government agrees to pardon me.

And I was going to make nun take money in a way that he would never dare open his mouth." Casa said, "I think you are a very cunning man, Mr. Barnes. It looks to me as if Pete had it coming to him." Why did you want to Join him?" he asked. "It's a long story, Mr. fepHeil "Pete antf were engaged once, but we broke because df the war.

"Then why follow him here?" "Strictly for A woman's reason that you wouldn't understand. He told me that he was in love with another daughter, in fact, Mr. wanted to see what she was like." Zad exhaled a mighty breath, then be laughed. "Ain't that just like a woman?" he roared. "Anyway, I'm glad you knowed about it, Miss "Just call me Cass." "Good.

And you call me Zad. As I was saying, I sent my daughter away from here just to keep her away from Morrison." Cass Said, 1 believe we really have Something in We both dislike Pete Morrison." CTE said, "I want you to stay here just as long as you feel like it, Cass, and anything you want you've just got to holler for. I think you and me are going to get along." "I'm sure we will," Cass said sweetly. An hour after that interview Zad knew that Pete Morrison was on his way to Pangeneet, and had killed an Indian en route. The news supplied fresh anger and apprehension.

If both Wilkinson and Morrison got away, and happened to grft Betty away from the Andersons his entire plan for revenge would be they were fools enough to come on with their wagon train and try to drive him out. He hurriedly ordered pursuit by three white men and several Indians, led by Al Tasker. In the meantime he could do little except fume. Once it occurred to him to wonder if the Indian boy, Walter, could have given Wilkinson a warning. He didn't think so, because Walter had been with him for years, and knew Ws capacity to punish if anyone crossed him.

Later he would question the boy. (To Be Continued) Pilot, 19, Is Ready For Aerial Tour Of South America Wilson C.

Monday, June 29. 1953 3 The'Urge To Call Long Pittance TELEPHONES IS AN AILMENT WHICH STRIKES ITS VICTIMS ABOUT 3A.M.

By HENRY MeLEMORE Those of us who suffer from that dread disease, telephonitis, have received chilling news. A nationally-known electrical engineer reverently stated that it was only a matter of time, and a short matter at that, before Americans would be able to dial any number in the country as easily as they now dial numbers in their home towns. No more long-distance operators, no more "Sorry, sir, the circuits are busy." Just pop to the phone and dial Bangor, BUtte, Corpus Chrlstl, Key West, and Los Angeles before you come to your senses or wiser heads lock you in a closet. Telephonltis is an ailment which creates an irresistible urge to call long-distance, the longer the distance the better. It usually reaches the acute stages around two, three, or four in the morning.

Those far gone in the ailment get no relief unless they put in a call to someone they haven't seen for years, and who they can safely figure is sound asleep. Telephonltis doesn't lay up its victims, or ctuse them prolonged pain the way guut, bee stings, shingles, or thrush do. Indeod, it provides them with much happiness and the only suffering comes once a month when the phone bill comes in. If I were asked to write a paper for the Bell Telephone Medical Journal describing some of the severest cases of telephonitis have encountered, I would have to start with Dick Andrade of Dallas, a great friend and a friend of the great. Mr.

Andrade calls points north, south, east and west almost every night, but it is his performances at Kentucky Derbys which make him predominant. He is not content with doing the calling by himself, but insists that friends keep all thR phones In his suite busy. If you tell him that you have exhausted your list of people to call he says, "Ring Portland, or Richmond, or Washington, and talk to some strangers." There Is always a band of some sort In his suite during Derby time and he likes to share the music with farway lovers of music. He considers it perfectly normal to ring up a friend in Honolulu and have a jug band play Hawaiian music for half an hour. For years he pleased my sister, then living in Montreal, by giving her a concert of "My Old Kentucky Home." 'Dixie," "Maryland.

My Maryland," and "Swanee River." A close runner-up is Buddy Fogelson, whom I refuse to identify as the husband of Oreer Oarson. Once he sent a call around the world to Joe Williams, who was sitting across a desk from him in a room In the Waldorf-Astoria. This may well be the most classic example of telephonitis in its last stages. Harry Grayson, one of the country's best sports writers, ranks high among the sufferers of the malady. I once discovered him at a bedroom phone in my New York apartment, at three in the morn- Ing, talking to man who had been the sheriff In Phoenix, and whom he hadn't seen since he (Harry) had covered the Giants training camp in the John McGraw days.

"I just happened to remember how swell the sheriff was to me in Phoenix that year, and felt I must call him," Harry said. "He gave me a beautiful Stetson which I still have." I'm all for going back to the hand-crank telephone. (Distribtued by McNaught Syndicate, Inc.)

Lewis Glad To Be Replacement For Godfrey on TV By JACK GAVER NEW YORK. June 29 man who Is carrying the bulk of Arthur Godfrey's television radio chores while the famous redhead has been sidelined by his operation has had a lot of experience at such filling-in and doesn't regret a minute of it. "Other people in the business now and then tell me I'm crazy to keep on being Godfrey's replacement." said Robert Q. Lewis 'They say I should Just concentrate on my own career. "Frankly, I don't agree with them.

I think It's great, just great, that I've had so many chances to do this. 'Know Who He Is' "Look, I've been around in this business qquite a few years now. I have had and still have my own shows right along and there will be more coming up. People know who I been able to make a name on my own. I'm not just kept in the deep-freeze until such times as Godfrey takes a vacation or gets sick.

"Granted that a person is regarded as competent enough to be asked to fill In for Arthur, how can It possibly hurt him to be seen by and heard by that ready-made audience Of millions? "As for 'all that extra work' that is supposed to get me down-well. It really isn't that tough. These are informal shows, they don't require a lot of preparation. I can actually relax with them." The current spell Is the 17th time the be-goggled Lewis has filled in for Godfrey in seven successive years. He's been at it since May, and Godfrey apparently won't be back before Aug.

1. The longest previous period in which Lewis subbed for Godfrey was eight weeks. Lewis does Godfrey's five-a week morning show that runs an hour and a half on radio. An hour of this show is, simulcast on television. He also did one of Godfrey's Wednesday evening hour long TV shows.

Garry Moore, another versatile lad, has handled the Godfrey "talent scouts" program during the master's absence. Fort Hood Library Helps Uncle Sam By II ARM AN W. NICHOLS WASHINGTON, June Your versatile Uncle Sam plays cupld as well as fights a war. The cupld business Is being carried on at Fort Hood, accerd- ing to the Pentagon. It Is of the book kind and is available to new recruits at the Fort Hood library.

GIs ask two questions consistently when they visit the stacks. The first is, "How do you write a love letter?" The other Is, "What shall I say in a letter to my sweetheart?" The Army, being sensible, has put women to work in the library. The head librarian at Fort Hood is Mary Mathis. She has gathered as many books on the subject of making love through the mails as she could corral. Go In For Poetry Soldiers, It seems, go in for a lot of poetry.

"We get lots of calls to look up love poems to quote," Miss Mathis said. "We have a long list, well indexed, and what's the difference if the felows copy the poems and put their own bylines on them? You wouldn't expect them to re write Keats and Shelly, would you?" The Army recognizes, though, that a lot of the girl friends are familiar with the old masters, and that they might be a little suspicious. Keep Books Handy "So," said Miss Mathis, "We keep handy Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese and Omar Khayyams's Rubaiyat. If the boy gels caught pilfering a poem, it's his own fault. We try to keep him on the straight and narrow." Working with newly inducted soldiers is old hat with Miss Mathis When she learned new men had been assigned to the First Armored Division, the first thing she did was suggest that the library double its supply of writing paper.

"Many of the boys come in and write as many as seven or eight love letters a seven or eight different girls," she said. "Some of them send the same poem to all the girls, hoping they won't get together and compare notes."

I saw these same boys Building on a home for future Scouts. It was not play but a work of love.

There were also many older people there. Most had gone this trail before and were willing to give direction to the work and play of this younger generation.

CENTER DIAL 2632 GAINESVILLE.

June 29- young second generation farmer prepared Monday to leave his farm and go to the city "In order to survive." The plight of 34-year-old Jack Sanders was typical of young farmers his age who had to give up the battle because of the weather, insects and prices. "I'm the only young farmer In our area," Sanders said. "Now I'm going to have to go look for a job or we won't survive." Sanders and his father, E. S. Sanders, operate a 388-acre farm in Cooke County, Northeast Texas.

They generally keep from 50 to 70 head of beef and dairy cattle, in addition to farming. Cooke county and most of the Southwest Is in the grip of the worst drouth in history. Sanders said his last good crop was in 1950, and that year the Insects destroyed about three-fourths of the crop. Sanders blamed the farmers' 'poor condition on the drouth mostly, and also on the "Korean situation." Over Korea' "People are worrying over what is going to happen in Korea, and are selling," he said. Sanders and bis father sold a truck load of whlteface cattle at Fort Worth, for seven to 10 cents per pound.

He said he could have sold the same stock last year when they were born for the same amount he received at the Fort Worth market. Sanders and his wife have a six- year-old daughter, Jackie Jean, who was stricken with polio in 1950. She still has to wear braces on her left leg in order to walk, The father-son farming team just recently completed a five-room borne valued at $5,000 for the younger Sanders. They also remodeled the elder Sanders' borne comparable to a $10,000 home in the Crops Hard Hit Sanders said they made a good grain crop this year, but other crops little chance of ing. The corn wop already is lost, he said, and wttw must get substantial rain within the next month in order to a crop.

the government bay grajn nit yet; joa.de it tor the farmer to "pull through the winter," but said more federal assistance, as soon as possible, is needed this year. "It's always the farmer who takes It on the chin when prices go up or down," he said. "We sold our cattle last week for 10 cents a pound, but steak still is 70 and 80 (cents a pound at the meat markets. "It would take between 35 and 40 head of cattle at today's prices to buy one medium-sized farm tractor," he said. Many farmers have had to leave their farms and seek employment In cities In the last two years, he said.

Aircraft plants at nearby Dallas and Fort Worth had been a "life saver" to many of them, he explained. Desperate Plight "More are leaving every day" Sanders said. "If we don't get a good crop next year I Just don't see what the farmer is going to do. Sanders said he plans to work at the building trade, possibly at Sherman, until the "crisis is over." His father will look after the farm until he is able to return. "I like farming better than anything else." he said.

"We're up against It pretty tough now, but a good crop next year sure would help." He said all the farmers were expecting another depression, and the old timers were predicting it would be "worse than the last one." ONE PURPOSE IN MFI!
