TT second day under Mrs. Doray’s
‘care, Arthur, dressed in a new suit,
‘hair trimmed, and clean and shining
from his morning shower, presented a
different sight. Mrs. Doray was justly
proud of the metamorphosis as the boy
came in the breakfast room.
“Look, Jack,” she proudly remarked to
her husband. “Doesn’t Arthur look
nice?” 3
Doray, eating his breakfast, gave the
boy a brief glance. “Beautiful,” was
his caustic comment.
The breakfast, marked by Art acci-
dentally squirting grapefruit juice in
_Doray’s eyes, was concluded and Art
left for school.

Art's face revealed his conflicting emo-
tions as he heard this. He loved Nutty
and wanted desperately to talk to him,
but he was resolved to be a good boy.
Nutty sensed this feeling in his friend's
silence. ;
“Gee, Art, ain't you going to talk to
me at all,” pleaded Nutty. “Aint you
even going to say ‘hello’?” Art, very
miserable, shook his head. Boylike,
Nutty tried to conceal his real emotions.

A week later, while Art was working
at his homework, the Dorays reneged
their argument over the boy: It started
as they were preparing to keep a bridge
appointment at the neighbor's house.
Doray, still bitter towards Art, insisted
that they couldn’t trust the boy in their
home alone.
“Jack, you're being unfair,” said Mrs.
Doray in response to her husband's in-
sinuations. “You'll have to admit he’s
been here a week now and he’s been as
good as gold.”
In the dining room, Art looked up
from his work and smiled as the woman
came towards him.
“Art,” she began, “we're going out
for the evening and I'm going to leave
you in charge of the house. You won't
go out, will you? Not for anything.”
“No, wae, he shseplied,

“But Art, he’s awful sick,” she cried
as she rose from her seat and grabbed
his arm. “'He’s been calling for you.
Faced with a decision, he quickly
made up his mind. He ran to the side-
board and took the money in a little jar
in which Mrs. Doray kept small amounts
of money to pay tradesmen. Dumping
the change in Mrs. Beamish’s hands, he
grabbed his’ cap and they left. ;

off to silence. Art stared at him a

Mrs. Beamish entered the recom with the

Art, broken-hearted and sick, plodded
up to the Doray home. He leaned his
head against the front door, ‘took out
his handkerchief and cleaned his tear-
streaked face. Suddenly he heard angry
voices coming from within.
The Dorays, returned from the bridge
game, had immediately noted Art's ab-
sence. Doray, discovering the money
gone from the jar, instantly gloated over
the apparent dishonesty of the boy. Mrs.
Doray despite the undeniable proof of
the wrongdoing, refused to believe that
the boy had broken his word. At this,
Doray grew angrier.
“All right,” Art heard him yell to
Mrs. Doray. “Before you brought that
boy here, we were a pretty happy couple.
Ever since, we've had nothing but quar-
rels and unhappiness. Now either he
goes out of this house or I, and Edie,
as much as I love you, I'll go, even if
it means divorce. You choose between
us right now.”
. It was Art who made the decision.
Sick and heart-broken over Nutty's
death, and. now faced with the fact that
he might be the means of severing Mrs.
Doray from the man she loved, he made
up his mind quickly. He ran into the
house and confronted Doray. “The latter
grabbed Art's shoulder.
“Don’t put your hands on me,”
Art, twisting loose.
Mrs. Doray gave him a reproachful
look. “Art,” she said quietly, “I asked
you not to leave the house for anything.
Why did you?”
“Yes,” interrupted Doray.
where's the money?”
Art stared piteously at Mrs. Doray.
He knew that what he was about to
say would hurt her and destroy her faith
in him. Nevertheless, he was resolved
to protect her happiness at the cost of
his own dishonor.
“I went out because I wanted to go
out,” he cried, fairly snarling at her.
“I took your money too. What're you
going to do about it? I never asked
you to come and live here, and I don’t
want to stay any more. I ain’t good and
I never will be good. I'm bad. I'm the
worst kid in town. Now, how do you
like that” He picked up the empty
change jar, crashed it onthe floor and
ran out, eluding Doray’s wild grab for
him,

year when he twirled for Idetown. °
Dallas presented a new lineup with
but two local boys, Bill Labarr and
Tommy Reese playing the outfield.
Payton Lee, also a local boy was on
the sidelines keeping score.
Local fans are making plenty of

are allowed to play in the local cir-
cuit. Many contend that if it is for

We'll admit that the bringing in of
the boys from the valley will give lo-
cal fans a faster brand of baseball, but
how do the older fans stand. It is a
known fact that many of the old tim-
ers here would sooner see local boys
out on the field scoring 30 or more
runs than two evenly matched clubs
that score but five or six runs bs=
tween them. :
One player and a prominent busi-
ness man of Dallas claim that the in-
troduction of players in the local lea-
gue will kill basebal here.
Tommy Reese is still bale to keep
pace with the younger players of the
league. Twice last week he backed
into the fence to take hard hit fly
ball off the bat of Parry, centerfielder
lon the Shavertown team. Another time
he robbed Abe Winters of a sure two

bagger when he raced
base to take a low hit ball.
Kitchen was the star of the Shav-
ertown team, getting a scratch hit
and accepting numerous hard chances
in the field and taking part in three
double plays.
In the Fernbrook-Orange game,
Marty Haas, a veteran of the Wyom-
ing league was the outstanding star,
getting three hits out of four times
at bat and playing a bang-up game at
third. One of his hits was the long-
est seen on the Weiss diamond.
