No. 17 CROWDSEXPECTED IN STORE'S EXHIBIT First Spring Display To Be Shown By Sears, Roebuck Store Here The success of Sears, Roebuck's store since its opening last September has been one of the outstanding commercial features of the Steel City's remarkable industrial growth. This store—one of the chain of the world's greatest commercial industries, seems apparently to have filled a public need. The Sears, Roebuck stock of standard quality merchandise, much of it manufactured by them and sold at the lowest possible margin of profits, has given the people of Gary the world's lowest prices—quality considered. Hundreds are expected to attend the store's first spring exhibit next week. Motorists Warned to Drive With Precaution With the advent of spring, motorists are urged by the accident prevention department of the Chicago Motor Club to drive with extreme caution, because of the increased numbers of children playing in the streets. Although traffic safety education has for many years been an integral part of the regular school curriculum, many youngsters still fail to realize the peril of roller skating, hitching, playing baseball and indulging in other sports on streets where motor traffic prevails. The period of the day most dangerous, according to the accident prevention department of the motor club, is between 4 and 5 p. m., or after school has been dismissed. Presbyterians Have Two Million Members The total membership of the Presbyterian churches in America has passed the two million mark, and the larger Methodist and Baptist denominations are growing at a similiar rate.

The Gary American 'Clean Up Week' To Be Sponsored By Local Council Central Community Council To Cooperate in the General Clean-Up Program The Central Community council met Wednesday, March 12, at 8:30 p.m., in the Lake County Children's home. At this meeting, plans were launched for general co-operation in the Clean-Up program scheduled for the week of March 30. In connection with the general clean-up activities, a health program is also sponsored. Committees were appointed to begin work immediately in securing general community co-operation for the success of the plan. Representatives were instructed to get in touch with their organizations and be prepared to report at the next meeting. Representatives present were: Dr Charles R. Wood, E. L. Gordon, A. Bailey, J. L. Lawson, A. J. Butler Mme. Marjorie Woodfolk, Hallia Hayes, Corinne Jones, Elizabeth Edwards and H. Theo. Tatum, president. The next meeting will be at the Hunton Y.M.C.A., Sunday, March 23 at 3 o'clock. Y. M. C. A. Activities Any organization is determined by the friends it has and especially when the support of it depends largely in voluntary contributions, hence the Young Men's Christian Association has come into its own because of its democratic, sympathetic feeling and world-wide intreach. The mission is to serve all races and classes and the Hunton branch, in keeping with this spirit, is endeavoring to render an unselfish service to the community. It has been said that knowledge is power, knowledge of the right type is power and when directed in the right channel—will prove to be of unestimable value to the individuals. All programs of the "Y" of whatnature, have a their chief objectives for better citizenry—whatever it is of a social, spiritual, educational or physical form. From time to time different speakers are brought to the public with messages of hope and inspiration. Sunday, March 23rd at 3:30, Rabbi Garry August will be the speaker of note and power. There is nothing that succeeds like success, and every effort is being put forth to make the forth coming membership drive a success. The goal will be 250 men and boys; the motto: We must SUCOED; May the spirit of MY Y. M. C. A. pervade each individual to the extent that there may be a unity of action and a goal realized. MRS.

O. Johnson To Receive Petition Saturday R. O. Jo MAYOR TO RECEIVE VOTERS' PETITION SOME TIME TODAY Document Sent to Johnson With Request For A Hearing; Expect Quick Reply By SARAH TAFT SIMS With the names of scores of persons affixed to the document, the petition calling upon Mayor R. O. Johnson to give colored people of Gary adequate recognition was formally sent to the mayor today for his consideration. Pointing out various wants and desires of the colored race in Gary, the petition contained six requests for more recognition for Negroes in the "Steel City." It asked the mayor to appoint a colored man to fill the first vacancy on the safety board. It urged the mayor to appoint a Negro as a police sergeant. It further requested that a colored man be appointed as an alley inspector, as an assistant street commissioner, and closed with two other specific requests asking that emergency cases be sent to hospitals where colored doctors practice surgery, and that colored undertakers be given an equal chance in furnishing ambulance service. "Sound Document" Characterized by Gary leaders as "a sound and logical document," the petition was perhaps the most important document executed by colored people in the history of Gary. No written or published plea has aroused such interest or provoked so much discussion as the petition to the mayor, a survey conducted here reveals. Nor has any other petition or movement been watched with as much hope as the petition. Eagerly awaiting the mayor's response, thousands of Gary residents are looking forward with high hopes in a determined vigil to see what action Mayor Johnson will take. Along with the petition to the mayor went a letter from Chauncey Townsend, asking that the mayor give the plea his earnest consideration and grant an interview to the petitioners by way of reply. The letter described the petition as "a frank and fortright declaration of reasonable wants." It is as follows: "March 14, 1930 "Hon R. O. Johnson, Mayor, City of Gary, Indiana. "My dear Mr. Johnson: "In behalf of the petitioners whose names are affixed to the enclosed petition, I have been directed to send you a resolution and petition adopted at a meeting here on February 25, last and circulated in the city among residents of the central district. This petition reveals, I think, that (Continued on Page 3) Heads Drive Efforts of the Huton branch Y. M. C. A. to secure more members will be started soon, according to an announcement made today. The membership drive will require 100 workers. It will be under the direction of Dr. Royal W. Grubbs, prominent Gary physician. ★★★★ Robert S. Abbott, editor and publisher of the Chicago Defender, will be the principal speaker here Wednesday before members of the Gary Noonday Business club at Stewart house, according to an announcement made today. He will speak on "The Negro in Business." Known throughout the United States for his fearless advocacy of equal rights for colored people, Editor Abbott is said to be a speaker of unusual force. He has appeared as a public speaker, before audiences in almost every large town and city in the country. His fame as a publisher has won him national distinction. ★★★★★ Scientist Seeks Cure For Back Seat Driver M. DR. DONALD A. LAIRD THE psychological laboratories of Colgate University, directed by Dr. Donald A. Laird, have turned the spotlight of science on back seat drivers, as part of an investigation to measure the lack of coordination between muscular and nerve control. According to Dr. Laird much of the nervousness displayed by back seat drivers can be traced to physical make-up and failure to provide proper nourishment necessary for accurate muscular and nervous reaction. Women who diet are good examples of this. Foods containing sugar will be used in the tests, because, Dr. Laird said, sugar is among the most rapidly utilized of all muscle foods and therefore is particularly useful in measuring the effect of nourishment. Auto Club Stresses Obedience to School Boys' Safety Patrol Auto Club Stresses Obedience to School Boys' Safety Patrol Obedience to the school boys' safety patrol is stressed in the March safety poster, just issued by the accident prevention department of the Chicago Motor club to more than 25,000 school rooms in northern Illinois and northern Indiana. The poster shows a member of the patrol guarding children of various colors and nationalities from the dangers of traffic. In a letter to teachers, which accompanied each poster, the motor club pointed out: "The first aim of the patrol is to protect the school children while on their way to and from school. The second aim is to so educate all the children so that they will be cautious instinctively when crossing streets "The accomplishments of this system are many. The first is a reduction in child accidents. The second is education of the entire student body in the proper street behavior. The third is a strengthening of character and good citizenship in the members of the patrol. The fourth is the training of a future generation of motor car drivers who will be 'safety conscious.' The fifth, and not the least, is the knowledge on the part of parents and school authorities that at least some steps have been taken to guard their children and charges while out of their immediate jurisdiction." Caterpillar Tractor Is Invented by Holt The caterpillar tractor was invented in 1900 by Benjamin Holt at Stockton, Calif. ★★★★ FAMOUS EDITOR TO BE SPEAKER HERE AT BUSINESS CLUB FAMOUS EDITOR TO BE SPEAKER HERE AT BUSINESS CLUB Robert S. Abbott, Publisher of Chicago Defender, to Talk To Noonday Club He was mentioned recently as a probable candidate for congress from the first Illinois district, now represented by Congressman Oscar De Priest. Started As Poor Boy Starting his career in life without capital, Abbott's success as a newspaper publisher reads like the most romantic of fiction. By sheer dint of energy, his paper grew from a small sheet of a few pages to one of the largest in the country and is said to have a national circulation. Abbott has several times been mentioned for the Spingarn medal, awarded annually to the person who make the greatest achievement in the interest of colored people in any given year. According to Dr. Charles R. Wood president of the club, the meeting will be open to the general public Ladies wishing to attend the meeting will be welcome, Dr. Wood announced. A luncheon will be served prior to opening the meeting, it was announced. Bricklayer Can Lay Thousand Bricks Day The average bricklayer will lay 1000 bricks a day. Mrs. B. J.

PRICE THREE CENTS ub Here H AWYER Saturday BLAME SPEED FOR DEATH OF LAWYER IN R. R. ACCIDENT Witness Testifies Train Was Making 50 Miles Per Hour; Widow to Sue R. R. The excessive speed at which trains pass thru Gary and Indiana Harbor was blamed Thursday for the death of Fred Ramsey, 36 years of age, prominent lawyer of East Chicago, who was killed by a Pennsylvania flyer Monday as he drove his automobile over the McKinley avenue crossing in Indiana Harbor. Train Made 50 M. P. H. According to witnesses at the coroner's inquest, the train which sniffed out the lawyer's life was travelling at a rate of more than fifty miles an hour thru the business district of Indiana Harbor. This evidence, according to Atty. Fritz W. Alexander, may be the basis of a civil action which relatives of the deceased may take in seeking damages from the Pennsylvania Railroad company. Alexander, counsel for many prominent Gary and East Chicago people, represented the widow, Mrs. Zephyr Ramsey, at the inquest Thursday. By his questioning, he forced witnesses to admit that the train was travelling thru the city at an excessive speed, which is in violation of the law. Trains, as well as automobiles, are forbidden to exceed a certain speed, Alexander pointed out at the inquest, Probable civic action will be taken against the railroad by Alexander, in behalf of the widow. According to witnesses, Ramsey's body was completely mangled and the car in which he was riding was carried fully a hundred feet down the tracks before being hurled to the side of the right-of-way. Ramsey was a graduate of Howard university, class of 1922. He came to Gary in 1927, gained admission to the bar, and practiced law here for a while. Moving to Indiana Harbor several months later, he enjoyed a large practice in the Twin City. He is survived by his wife, two small children and a mother. The body will be shipped to Wedgeville, South Carolina, where funeral services will be held Monday. Word Study "Use a word three times and it is yours."

She grew abnormally between the ages of 8 and 22 years until she reached the enormous height of 8 feet 4 inches, She wore a number 24 shoe.

And he is a large bundle of boasting at all times. Associating the two traits men boast in one breath and call their fellows braggarts in the next. Though our dual standard of human appraisal will not permit of self-prasie, the tradesman, the manufacturer and the auctioneer boast of the superor- ity of their wares and are not charged with complacency even by their competitors in business. Self-praise in individuals is not pardonable even of such individuals who can prove their boastful claims. The business man is never charged with braggadocio but he must make good his claims or bear the indeliable stamp of the cheat and fraud. | The boasts of men will always find them out. Continuing the analysis this duality of boasting may be carried to communities, nations, fraternal orders, religious, racial distinctions, automobiles, horses, wives and so on down to pigs and whatnot. Boastful beings brag up their country, town, church, automobiles and pigs and accuse the other fellow of prejudice and partisanship when he ventures to narrate the fine points of his country, political party and wife. “The faults which men condemn are their own.” There is an ancient fable which contemplates boasting in this manner: A man waiking with that noble animal, the lion, showed the lion in the ostentation of human superiority a sign of a man slaying a lion. Upon which the lion said very justly, we lions are none of us painters, else we could show a hundred men killed by lions for one lion killed by man.

A Proven Medicine That persistent feeling of tiredness—that clouded mind—that lack of dash and fire—that missing punch that decides so many situations in business—are all usually due to an acid system. Excess acid, formed in the stomach as a result of our unnatural eating habits, cause acid-indigestion with gas, sourness and burning and sets up poisonous putrefaction in the gas-tro-intestinal canal that saps our strength and vitality, taxes our nerves and pulls us down physically and mentally. Dr. Michael's All-Herb tonic made from 26 different roots and herbs has won fame and become Gary's fastest selling medicine by helping thousands of local citizens when everything else failed.

He didn’t want her to die by her own hand. Not as long as there was any way of pre- venting the suicide. He thought that if he didn’t save her by going back and making her his wife, she would end it all. Then he would be stricken with re- morse for the rest of his life. Consequently, he put the matter before Maybelle. “You are engaged to me,” the girl said softly. ‘““You’ve given me a ring.” “That is true,” he ac- knowledged. “But just think Maybelle, she means to kill herself.” Maybelle thought _ this over. - “Do you have ample oc- easion to believe that she means to carry out her threat?” she interrogated.

AYBELLE Martin M had to walk down ‘ the railroad track to reach the scene of a house party. The affair was to be given in honor of a friend who was leaving late the same night on a Memphis bound train. It was because Maybelle had had a spat with her sweetheart that she was attending the social function unescorted. They say she is a one-man woman, and will never be completely able to forget the young man who is sealed up in the tomb of her heart. It was an extraordinary ro- mance, saturated with moon- light and _ beautiful red roses; and scented with rare old perfumes. Glittering dream castles had _ been erected in the minds of those two lovers who lived in the fairyland of dreams. The girl awaited the coming of a charming prince who would some day rescue and carry her off to the big city about which she had dream- ed. It had been one of those short, swift affairs which never end exactly right. Both this boy and his girl were honorable. They did not vary from the straight path which leads either to success or failure—although never to both. But there was something sinister afoot when the boy got a Jeiter from a girl he had left in Alabama, and she told him that he was éither going to marry her or that she was going to kill herself.

Was he dead?” nounced grimly. “Sne’s a determined sort of girl. If I thought she were bluffing me I wouldn’t be in the least alarmed. “However, I happen to know that it is not her nature to bluff.” Maybelle placed one arm around him, “We have had some dandy times together, haven’t we?” she declared. He agreed that they had had some wonderful times together — the most wonderful in the world. He would never forget them. He would never forget her. Even though separated by a great dis- tance, he would remain true to her in his heart. He had never lied to her. He said he thought she ought to know that he loved her with all the strength he had. Maybelle contessed that she was not in the least doubtful of his love, but she didn't like the idea of his making that sacrifice, for, once that step was taken, there would be no adjustment Jater on. They must needs remain apart forever. “T tell you,” he asserted thought- fully. “God means for me to save that girl’s life. Anyhow, May, dear —I am to blame. I courted her.

There was a human life at stake. They sat in the porch swing in front of her father’s bed room, and the moonbeams fell, lighting the misty places of the enormous lawn. Besides, a@ church bell was ringing softly in the distance. Soon there would be many rich southern voices singing church hymns, and a feeling of in- tense sacredness would take posses- sion of her. Her hand stole out and met the boy's in the semi-darkness of the secluded porch corner. “All right, dear,” she murmured. “I understand. I am willing. It’s like forcibly tearing my heart out to see you go, for I know that when you leave all is over between us—that I shall never lay my eyes on your face a But it’s to save a human life. e life of a girl like me—and I can’t stand to see her die. I guess you're right. There’s no other way. Go now, and God bless you, my sweet- heart—” ness. > That was a dramatic ending te one of the strangest love affairs t has ever been carried on by a boy and a girl. They.sacrificed their happiness to save a human life. What more could humanity ask? And they were colored—hero and heroine, as are seen in movie thrillers, only they act- ually lived through this climax. This was a sacrifice for love. The boy went away. He stayed away. He did not come back. Day af- ter day Maybelle walked about in the isolated parts of the town, alone, thinking and dreaming. Years pass- ed. Changes came. Old ways went out and new ways come in. There was no end to the changes that oc- curred. Styles in clothes changed. The hammock in the Martin front yard, which was made of barrel staves changed too. It became suddenly a bright red lawn swing, with an awn- ing to protect Maybelle from the sun. Down behind the house not far away was the river. It gleamed:like a huge patch of silver in the sunlight. But perhaps Maybelle was not aware of the fact that she, too, was changing. She had never married. She had never, in fact, had more than one sweetheart in her life, and he had made a sacrifice to save a human life ter. years before. Ten years. That is a long time. It was certainly a long time for Maybelle, and she counted the days and the months since she had parted from the man who lived in her heart. She shuddered. O, it had been so long ago. Maybelle walked down the railroad track that night—the night of the big event — thinking of how she had walked down the rails that evening, ever so long ago, kefore the only hope she had ever known, had passed out of her world. And she sang a saq little song, deliberately, feelingly, with the sentiment of her soul crop- ping out between the words. What else could one expect of a woman who had been denied the happiness of romance? Suddenly she came to a place on the track where something attracted jher attention. It was a dark lump |motionless, flat against the cinders | and the steei rails, and, she saw, al- |mos: before she realized it, that’ she wa, staring at the body of a man. | The man was uncouth in appear- ance. He wore overalls. These were soiled. Patches showed here and there. Besides, the face was unshav- en, and the shirt collar, showing, was dirty and wrinkled. Was the man dead? She did not know what to do at first, but knelt down beside the poe trate figure. She felt the flesh; it was cold. The man’s face was like ice. She lifted one of the motionless hands, it too, was like ice. There was no sign of life about the man. Wa: he dead?

He had come back to her dead. What agony, being alone there in the night, under the twinkling stars, with th man she loved, knowing that he would never speak to her again, never breath, never touch her, never kiss her—No. He was dead. Maybelle never received an explan- ation of why her lover had come back. But a weak heart had killed him. The doctors said that. His heart had gone wrong. Was there ever a girl who had been so cruelly tortured as Maybelle? There is no hope left for her now. But she may be seen at the same old_ haunts.

By Sylvan Drown Feeding the Children Much has been said about the dan- ger of feeding the child between meals, but of late we have come to realize that kiddies often actually NEED a bite or two at that time. Nothing heavy or in quantity, ~f course, but a little something that will tend to stop the pangs of hun- ger and give the child some quick energy food tc keep that little body engine of his pumping properly. A glass of lemonade and a piece of wig Children hate to take medicine as a rule, but every child loves the taste of Castoria. And this pure vegetable preparation is just as good as it tastes; just as bland and harmless as the recipe reads. Sop wrapper tells you just what ‘astoria contains.) When Baby’s cry warns of colic, a few drops of Castoria has him soothed, asleep again in a jiffy. Nothing is more valuable in diar- thea. When coated tongue or bad breath tell of constipation, invoke its gentle aid to cleanse and regu- late a child’s bowels. In colds or children’s diseases, use it to keep the system from clogging. Your doctor will tell you Castoria bread and marmalade wili do. An- other time try a small piece of bread with sugar or molasses. Another time give the kiddy a glass of milk and a Cookie. See that this is given at least an hour or an hour and a half be- fore meals, and that nothing else is given. Let it be just a bite or two to relieve hunger, stop begging on the child’s part, and send him out to play with a feeling that everything in his “tummy” is working properly.

The DARK KNIGHT A Smashing Story of Brown Love and Thrilling Intrigue by WILLIAM SMITH Talented Negro Writer R0d Unwittingly Tackles One of Chicago's Most Notorious Gangsters الدين Rod lifted Lyla into his arms effortlessly and bore her through the crowd toward the rear of the place. The Stormy Career of Jack Johnson -- No.20 Roderick Herrick, of Golden Arrow, Montana, has come to Chicago to attend the University. His friend Martin Thompson persuades him to go to a party given by Alderman Durant for his daughter Lyla. Rod is loath to go because he is unused to such formal affairs, but he does go and spends the greater part of the evening outside the Durant home watching Lyla dance, considerably with a tan, dapper youth. Finally Rod's friend drags him inside where he meets his hostess, dances with her, but steps on her toes so much she has to stop dancing. The dapper, tan youth makes a cutting remark about Rod's clumsiness. But Lyla averts trouble by taking Rod into the garden, and he tells her of his life in the west where his father owns a cattle ranch. Later in the evening they go to the Swamp Hut, a notorious cabaret, where Reggie, the tan youth gets drunk and strikes Rod, who refuses to retaliate. Lyla thinks him a coward. However, she learns different a few minutes later when Wolf, a notorious gangster, snatches her out of Reggie's arms while they are dancing. Rod rescues her by knocking Wolf out. Several of Wolf's henchmen then attack Rod, but he beats them off just as Wolf regains consciousness and levels a gun at him. AGAIN Lyla's sudden, shrill scream caused Rod to whirl toward her. She had thrown herself, heedless of her own danger, on Wolf's extended arm—the hand of which held the wicked-looking automatic. As her weight bore Wolf to the floor the weapon roared, belching a spurt of flame and smoke into the floor. Wolf cursed savagely, as he shook her from him and climbed to his feet. As the gun exploded, Rod had leaped toward him. When Wolf stood up and raised his weapon again, Rod ducked to the floor then dove into a hard tackle directly at his adversary's knees. The impact knocked Wolf to the floor. His gun flew out of his hand, skidding out of reach. For a few tense seconds which seemed like hours to Lyla who still hovered near by, the two men rolled over and over on the floor, pummeling each other furiously. For an instant Wolf was on top of his younger opponent, but Rod wriggled like a snake and threw him off. I R0d Unwittingly SYNOPSIS Roderick Herrick, of Golden Arrow, Monk to attend the University.

PART I Rod leaped nimbly to his feet. He stood waiting silently for Wolf to get up. Seeing the tall, bronze youth towering over him with ready fists, whose force he had already felt, Wolf apparently decided not to get up, but crouched staring malevolently at him. "Get up," Rod commanded curtly. "You've got some more coming!" Frantically Wolf's eyes searched among the babbling crowd which now gathered closely to witness the finale of the little drama, as though he were seeking help from some of his vanquished henchmen. "Let him go, Rod," Lyla begged, "and let's get out of here before anything else happens!" As though on cue from her warning, a whistle shrilled loudly. "The cops!" somebody yelled frantically. Instantly the fight was forgotten as the crowd began milling around like stampeded cattle in a wild effort to escape. Rod lifted Lyla into his arms effortlessly, and bore her through the crowd toward the rear of the place where his quick eyes, trained on the vast Montana ranges to observe closely, had noted a small door almost hidden by palms. The door opened into a dusky passageway. Rod groped his way along The Stormy A Tiring of England, Jack then went to Spain where he was well known. The two leading matadors, Josalite and Belmonte, were great personal admirers of Jack and interested him in the art of bull-fighting, the Spanish national pastime. Under their expert tutelage Jack made rapid progress. 15 slowly, lest he fall and hurt the fragrant, soft burden which he was carrying so tenderly. Once he stumbled. Lyla clasped her arms around his neck and held him tightly. In spite of the danger which they had just escaped, he halted. In the darkness her lips brushed his swiftly then she said in a low voice: "We'd better hurry, Rod. It would be awful for Dad if I were caught in a raid in this terrible place." Rod breathed deeply. "Gee whiz!" he ejaculated fervently. "I didn't know anybody could be so sweet . . ." Again the girl's arms tightened around his neck. "Tell me about it later," she commanded with a little catch in her voice, "but let's get out of here while the 'getting's' good." Obediently Rod started toward the end of the passage. "I was never so frightened in all my life," Lyla told him in a whisper, "as when those men attacked you. I had no idea you would be able to defend yourself so wonderfully." Rod chuckled. "Anyone who has ever wrangled cattle, and wrestled steers around, is bound to have plenty of strength; and then, too, I learned to box from one of our cowhands who Career of Jack Joh A In a short time Jack became a matador. He made his first public appearance, July 10, 1916. He was impressive in the ring, wearing the picturesque costume of a bull-fighter. The bull, a ferocious, snorting monster, was finally subdued by Jack's delivery of the fatal sword thrust --- JACKSON In July, 1918, Jack also won the heavyweight wrestling title of Spain by defeating the Spanish champion Juan Ochoa.

Let's vamoose!” The two sneaked rapidly out of the plaze, and jumped into the taxi. The driver looked at Rod inquiringly. “Get away from here in a hurry!” Rod commanded quickly. The car slid into motion almost at once. As they passed the corner near the en- trance to the Swamp Hut, they saw a arenes car backed up to the side- walk. Officers were herding people into it roughly. | Lyla shuddered. “With the elections coming up this fall it certainly would have hurt fapa a whole lot if I had been caught in the raid. The news- parers would have played it up big just because I happen to be an Alder- man’s daughter. I don’t know how to thank you,” she added as she re- laxed tiredly against him. Rod sighed happily. “You sure don’t need to thank me, Lyla,” he said warmly. “If you Madn’t jumped on Wolf when you did I _ probably would be cead by now. It’s I who should be thanking you.” Well what did you expect me to do—” Lyla countered, “stand up there and s:e that awful brute shoot you?” “Well that’s what most girls would have done because they wouldn’t have had either the nerve or the presence of mind to do what you did.” Rod differed gently. “Anyway you're what the boys out on our ranch would cali ‘regular‘.” “Where to?” the driver asked pop- ping his head back into the car. Lyla leaned forward to give him her ad- dress. “De we have to go home right away?” Roc pleaded. “Can’t we just ride around for a little while? Please Lyla?” The girl considered. “I really should be home now,” she sighed, “but I don’t want to go either. Let’s have the driver take us out along the Lake Shore Drive. It’s O.K. with me.” Rod gave the chauffeur new di- rections. Obediently the man swung his car toward the lake. The air was cool, and it became fresher, and tangy as they approach- ed Lake Michigan. They swept smoothly through a large park whose frosted lights made the dark macad- am of the driveway gleam like dull ebony, and threw into shadowy relief, the tall trees and clumps of hedge already turning green. Rod and Lyla_ were silent. Her shoulder rested lightly against him. Slowly he allowed his arm to go around her so that she lay in its half circle. She looked up and smiled. “You are not quite so bashful now,” she observed faintly. He tightened his arm around her. His heart was pounding so that he feared she must hear it. “Why should I be now that I’ve found out that you are an ‘honest-to-gosh’ real per- soi?” he queried. They fell silent again. By now they were on the broad Boulevard which ran parallel with the lake. In the east a ruddy glow foretold the imminence of dawn, and it unfolded the rolling dark lake whose lacy waves splashed up on the strip of the bag beach. “It’s beautiful!” Rod exclaimed, as he stared at the waters. “I’ve never seen so much water in my life.

I wonder what became of him after he deserted me so beautifully?” “I hope he fell off in a_ ditch somewhere.” Rod said morosely. “Don’t be like that, Rod,” Lyla begged. “He isn’t worth such a dark thought.” She rubbed her nose re- flectivelv. “Now just what will I do with him?” she mused. “You_aren’t married to him, are you?” Rod asked significantly. Lyla laughed. “Why of course not, silly. But,” she said more serious- ly, “I AM engaged to him.” “Engaged to him!” Rod echoed. “Yes, but it isn’t a love affair at all. I really don’t like him much,” she hastened to add. “But you see right now it’s rather important for Dad to stand in good with Reggie’s father who is a banker and has lots of influence. At least till after the elections this fall,” she explained. She felt Rod’s arm bulge and hard- en. “Glad you told me,” he exclaim- ed with a trace of bitterness. “I sup- Bee I've made an awful fool of my- self.” “Don't be that way, Rod,” Lyla begged. “Just as we are becoming friends too.

Won't you please, sir, make your arm nice and soft for Lyla?" she wheedled. Rod laughed unevenly then swept her to him. Their lips met electrically. She pushed him away gently after a few seconds of the breathless contact. "Do you really love me like that?" she asked with a startled laugh. "Do I?" Rod began just as the taxi driver again stuck his head inside to ask: "Well, where do you folks want to go now?" Rod frowned at the interruption. "Home," Lyla instructed as she gave the address. It was growing brighter, and the sun's glow was stronger now. "My dad'll spank me and shoot you," she warned Rod ruefully.

"Now I'm not afraid of all the dads in the world!" he exclaimed grandiloquently. "Not even my own," he added humorously. In a few minutes the taxi halted before Lyla's door. In the daylight Rod was awed by the largeness of the big stone house which was very obviously the home of a rich man. Lyla climbed out of the car, waving Rod back as he would have assisted her. "You stay in there," she commanded. "And come back to see me tonight. Then you'll meet papa, and maybe I can get him not to shoot you after all." Lightly she ran up the steps where she turned to blow a kiss at him. "Adios, cowboy," she called gaily. Rod bowed as best he could, but was jerked back undignifiedly as the taxi driver started the machine with unexpected abruptness. He peered out of the window to see Lyla laughingly enter her home. PART II LYLA ARRIVES UNNOTICED Quietly the girl tip-toed up to her room. No one was awake yet. In spite of the excitement of the night, and the fact that she had had no sleep, her dark eyes were sparkling. When she had closed her door she began humming a little tune. Gaily she skipped across the floor to her bathroom where she turned the hot water on into the sunken tub which extended into the black and white marble of the floor. Recklessly she emptied half a bottle of fragrant bath salts into the steaming water, then pranced back into her room to disrobe. Seated before the tall mirror of her dressing table she stared pensively at her reflection. Her curly, intensely black hair was wind-blown and tumbled, and it formed a picturesque frame for her richly brown, piquant features. Her small daintily carved mouth was slightly parted, disclosing twin rows of teeth white enough, and perfect enough to have been gleaming seed pearls. Tiny roguish dimples gave her an air of elfish beauty. She made a face at herself, then stood up, and with a wriggle of her supple, softly curved, golden body, slipped out of her silken sheath of an undergarment. A barbaric red and gold dressing gown lay on the foot of her bed. Throwing it around her shoulders she again sat down before the mirror. "Old mirror," she whispered softly, "do you think that Rod fellow really likes me? Do you? Well if you should happen to see him you tell him that Lyla likes him too—and plenty." Then with a grin at her own foolishness she fled to the bathroom where the steaming water was beginning to overflow onto the floor. PART III. ROD LEARNS THE EXTENT OF HIS DANGER Rod awakened suddenly as he felt a touch on his shoulder. Sitting up swiftly he found his friend Martin standing beside his bed. The light in his room burned brightly. Through his windows he could see the radiance of a street lamp outside. "Wake up, sleepyhead," the lawyer laughed. "What are you trying to do. sleep the clock around?" Rod scratched his head. "Gosh," he yawned, "what time is it anyway?" Martin consulted his wristwatch. "It's now eight-thirty of a glorious spring evening," he announced. "Lyla told me to find out 'what-in-heil' had happened to you. Only she didn't say 'hell.' She seemed worried for fear something had happened to you. She didn't know how to call herself, she told me." He slapped Rod smartly on the back. "Boy, you've raised plenty hell in this man's town, and no fooling," he laughed admiringly. "The story of how you bearded the Wolf in his own den, and slapped him and his whole pack down is all over town. Half the flappers I know want to meet you. You've become a hero, old scout." Then his voice changed; it became serious. "But Rod you've got to watch yourself. That bird Wolf, is nobody's plaything.

He owns a couple of policy wheels," he went on, "and besides that he owns the Swamp Hut—and that's why he's not liable to forget your coming down in his own joint and making a fool of him. He's used to taking what he wants in the way of women, and most fellows just laugh it off because they are afraid of him. Police think he is responsible for several murders, but they can't get anything on him." Martin paused to light a cigarette. Rod yawned widely and said: "Marty, you know I've met a lot of so-called badmen out in Montana—guys who would as soon shoot as spit. Somehow or other your tale about this tough guy doesn't worry me very much." Martin sat down on the bed beside him. "Now you listen to me, you hot-headed fool," he said, his eyes probing into Rod's, "this is no joke. They do things in Chicago that they never thought of in Montana. And I'm telling you that that bozo you beat up is really liable to do you some harm. You be careful!" Rod grinned. "Oh, all right, old preacher," he agreed. "I'll be just awfully careful. But what," he asked with more interest, "did Lyla say?" "She said that you had a date with her tonight," Martin said, smiling again, "and she practically ordered me to bring you to her dead or alive, in my car." He nudged Rod slyly. "Boy for an allegedly green kid, you are one swift worker. Reggie's apt to punch you in your nose again if you don't watch out," he chortled. "Yes, and I'll smack him in his eye the next time," Rod growled. "I didn't sock him last night because he was drunk and because—I—he—" "Oh, yeah," Martin broke in. "I know. It was because you thought Lyla liked him. She's already got that figured out, and it makes your stock skyhigh. She told me that for a minute she thought you were a coward in spite of those big shoulders of yours, but after she saw you go into action against those gangsters she knew that it wasn't cowardice which kept you from socking him.

"It wasn't anything, sir," Rod said confusedly. "I guess I'm a kind of roughneck anyway." "Well, I like your kind of roughnecks," Alderman Durant told him more warmly.

"When you got the best of him and his gang publicly you hurt where he is tenderest—his vanity. He's very dangerous, and I should advise that you leave town for a little spell." Instinctively Rod stiffened. "I appreciate your warning, Mr. Durant," he said quietly, "but I have no intention of running away from him—or anybody else."

Lyla exulted when her parent had left the room. "He didn't seem to, so very much," Rod observed wryly. "If you knew him better you'd think differently," Lyla explained. "I'll bet he'll get you a good job," she added. "I wish you hadn't asked him about a job," Rod said frowning a little. But why not? the girl demanded. "Yes, I know how you feel but I've always managed to knock along by my own efforts," Rod explained. "Oh, well, if you don't want me to help you, I don't care!" Lyla pouted as she flounced away from him. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, dear," he cried contritely. "Please don't take it that way!" Lyla was walking away from him. In one swift bound he had her in his arms. For an instant she held herself away from him, but the hurt look in his eyes made her relent. Slowly her arms crept around his neck, her lips met his hesitantly. He crushed her to him. "I love you little Lyla," he whispered, "I do love you so!" The girl smiled mistily. "All of a sudden?" she asked softly. "All of a sudden," Rod confirmed. Lyla reached up on tip-toe to rumple his hair. Then she slipped out of his embrace and flung herself into a red leather chair. Rod threw himself at her feet and kissed her hands. "It's nice to be in love," he observed with a happy sigh. "Is it?" Lyla asked innocently. "Tell me about it." Then the hours fled unnoticed as the two young folks exchanged rapt conversation. When at last Rod glanced at his watch he was astonished to see it was midnight. He rose at once.

"You big country boy," Lyla laughed. "Midnight isn't so late here in the big city. Must you go?" "Yes, I must," Rod said regretfully. "I've got to land in this town and I want to get up early to start my landing." Lyla escorted him to the door. "Coming back to see me real soon?" she asked. "Sure, as soon as you'll let me," Rod assured her. Then he drew her into his arms. His kiss was gentle, almost reverent. Lyla closed her eyes for an instant, then she pushed him away. "Boy friend," she laughed nervously, "your kisses make me drunk. You'd better fly before I kidnap you." Rod walked down the driveway toward the street like a man who treads on air. The fragrance of the girl lingered with him, and the feel of her soft lips was warm on his. He essayed a little jig step and to himself sang softly: "I'm in love, so in love, with Lyla."
