Beside the Laughing Water A ty LOUIS ARTHUR CUNNINGHAM SIDE GLANCES They XXIX worked on the proofs through the long afternoon. "Maybe," said Gavin, "the book will be in the shops when we go to New York on our honeymoon. I -can't imagine a greater thrill than to see a window full of Korean Ka- rousel--" "I can," smiled Lilith. "Seeing a window empty of it, after they've sold the last of a thousand they had on display." "Wow! And you were talking about-the unrealistic approach to the arts. Don't you know that first books aren't supposed to sell? They're to be given, autographed, to relatives and friends to prove you're' an author." "It's not going to be like that with our book," she insisted, and Gayin.

marveled at the faith of women and how they can make themselves believe the most farfetched things-if it suits their purpose. "Anyway, you're going to sell some here. It's required reading--or it's going to be--in the English classes at Edgemere and St. Bride's and of course everybody in town would want a copy. We killed two birds, you see, by having your by-line and having the book dedicated to me." Gavin shook his head in silent admiration.

"We'll do better. We'll have an ad chalked on the back of the car along with 'Just Married'." While Gavin dressed to go to town, Lilith read on slowly, painstakingly, careful of every comma, every dubious spelling, every broken letter or bit of smudged type.

This was their book, hers and Gavin's, their baby and it must be perfect. She was lost in the easy flow of the words, carried away to the distant war-ravaged land. She did not know how long it had been going on and for a dazed moment or two she thought she had been dreaming it--that song she would always hear and, recall old bitter te plumerai la tete--" singing up there in his room that- clear rich baritone. But a fool!" she muttered. "How could I imagine--' But the voice was so much like that other voice that she.had heard singing this old Canadian song that long ago day in Westerham Mews --Giles Wayland's voice.

As the same rollicking chanson du pays went on and on there came to her another startling, troubled thought: Giles had been a poor singer, not able to carry a tune very well, but Gavin's voice was true and deep and resonant--and so, above the rush of the shower even, had been that other voice-She knew with a numbness creeping over her, into her heart, into the depths of her, where these thoughts were leading. Of all the insensate folly! It was the craziest thing in the world and vet- She looked up at the window from which the singing came and now indeed her heart seemed to stop its rapid beat, and to falter and then go thundering on. He was looking out tha window, talking to one of the workmen, and the red head, the set of the shoulders--they were Giles. They were so much like his brother that she closed her eyes and opened them again to see if it would seem any different. "It could have been," she whispered.

"Oh, it could have been. But he would not--but it was one of them--it had to be one of them and if it was he--" "Alouette, je te He had resumed the song again, dismembering the gentle swallow --the head, the neck, the beak, the eyes, the ears and on and on--until she wanted to scream, to beg him to stop it forever. She hated the thing. She would always hate it. But what would he, Gavin, be doing with that girl--? "Oh, don't be such a ninny!" she blazed at.

herself. "What would any man be doing with Poppy Ewart?" She got up from the garden seat and hurried down the path through the whispering pines to the river-She walked to the water's edge and stood watching the little waves roll up and withdraw, breaking on the pebbles. She tried to get a grip of herself, to still these wildly racing suspicions that made a fever in her brain. She had felt like this about Giles after that morning--and if it had not been Giles--if it had been Gavin- She had not told Gavin where it was she had found Giles. She had not mentioned Poppy Ewart.

It was safe to assume that Poppy had not, that morning, mentioned her visitor and whoever had looked from the window of the flat had The Daily Register, Harrisburg, Illinois Thursday, September 3, 1953 Page Seven By Golbraith FOOTBALL ROUNDUP: In Southwest It's Rice, Baylor and Texas-Then Southern Methodist I By EDWIN B. PRICE Head Coach, Texas AUSTIN, Tex. (NBA) Texans have long reminded that only fools and newcomers attempt to forecast the weather in the Lone State. Football experts have found i their game equally unpredictable. As a result, one sees fewer seer suckers in the Southwest these days.

Dodgers to Beat Yanks in Series, Hornsby Says If Don't Should Have Throats Slit, Declares the Rajah By NORMAN MILLER United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK OR--Manager Rogers Hornsby of the Redlegs said bluntly today the Dodgers "ought to slit their throats" if they don't beat the Yankees in this year's World Series. The 57-year old Hall of Famer, renowned for his frank opinions, tabbed the 1953 Dodgers the best of their four post-war series contenders and predicted'that they'll wreck the Yankees' bid for an unprecedented fifth straight world championship. "If the Dodgers go into the Series with confidence, they should win easy," said the grey-haired old-timer. "This is their best ball club.

A strong finisher last season, the Owls come UD with a senior squad, improved ball-carrying and a good defense. Neely's chief concern is developing standout receivers. Rice headline names include tac- ikle Dick Chapman, center Leo Rucka, fullback Kosse Johnson, halfback Bill Gaskamp and quarterback Leroy Fenstemaker.

Baylor rightfully claims one of the nation's swiftest and most pro- jficient bacfcfieids, headed by Jerry Coody, made to order for double- duty."

Liquid Luggage By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK ITH pitcher looks good --Almost when he any has a' chance to pitch against the Browns, but there was no doubt today that Allie Reynolds meant business when he set them down, 9-1, in a four-hit World Series test run for the Yankees.

Reynolds had started put over two runs in the seventh on a succession of singles by John Lipon, Bill Goodman, Jim Piersail and Ted Williams.

"Their pitching is just ordinary for a pennant-winner, but it should be good enough in the Series with that lineup behind it. 0f course, you can't tell about the reaction of a team's spirit when it gets into a World Series," he added. "But the Dodgers have played the Yankees before and shouldn't be afraid of them." Hornsby feels that the Dodgers' predominantly right-handed hitting array should clobber the Yankees' left-handed pitching. "I think Ed Lopat and Whitey Ford arp going to have a tough time beating the Dodgers," he said. "Brooklyn has murdered all thc lefties in the National league.

That's all. Can he box? No. He has two left feet. He may be the greatest puncher of all time. But I'm younger, speedier, more skillful and I have the confidence that I can do the job." That's where Rollie dips into thc theory of relativity, his own and not the upper plane, mystic formula of Einstein's.

"Everybody knows that A squared plus squared equals squared." he quoth, which probably will come as exclusive news to the entire fight mob. "The theory of relativity takes in these kind of factors. There also are hidden factors." LaStarza's fractions, he explained, concerned the inability of some Icather-mittei'cd gladiators ever to put the Indian sign on certain rivals. And. in case you marvel at his confidence as he 'Cox is the best defensive third baseman in the league." was Hornsby's forthright appraisal.

It happened in the fourth inning of Wednesday night's 9-1 loss to the Yankees. Gene Woodling was batting with Yogi Berra on second base and Mickey Mantle on first.

Woodling lined to second baseman Bobby Young for one out. Young tossed to shortstop Billy Hunter to double Berra, and Hunter relayed to first baseman Dick Kryhoski to nail Mantle. It was the fourth triple play in the American League th'is season. Previous killings were by the Yankees, the White Sox and the Senators. Friday 6 p.
