Show I I THE BULLETIN. BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH FICTION J" QUICK CHANGE car opposite him. But the pigeons weren't used to Rorty and they were closer than he'd thought; at his sud-den approach they leaped into the air with clattering wings, a whirling cloud. Rorty dodged and smacked squarely into the old woman. He weighed two hundred pounds; she went down. He hadn't hurt her, but by the time he'd gone through the automatic reaction of picking her up and seeing that she was all right, the doors were closed and the train was on its way. "Thank you," the old woman said, but Rorty wasn't there to hear It. He was taking the steps four at a time to get to the street for a cab. "Gotta catch that train at the next station!" he bawled. "Step on It!" The pupils of her eyes seemed to swell as she peered at him. "Did you--do It, Mart?" "The murder? Kit, you know. You know I've been straight since I got out. I've been sticking to the job. I've been getting good pay. I was in line for a raise when this " "But the policel" "It's a mistake. I swear It but 1 can't prove it. I was living in this cheap joint saving money so you could come on soon. Someone tricked this rich guy in there and killed him. I knew they'd look up my record and pin It on me, just like they did, so I beat it first. It's just luck, just crummy luck. "I've been going straight, Kit. I THERE were three people on the Square platform; the old woman, Rorty, and the girl. Three south - bound trains had stopped and still the girl waited. So Rorty waited too. He would have waited all day, as long as she was there, but he had an idea it Wouldn't be necessary. Rorty was tough, leather-skinne- hard-heade- you wouldn't have thought it to look at him, but he had what amounted to an extra sense, delicate little feelers of perception, like invisible anten-nae sprouting up from the round brick-har- d skull. He could tell when something was coming. Perhaps that was what had made him a good cop and, climbing from the ranks, a good detective; that and his ami-able willingness to shoot it out on any and all occasions. Rorty was a mighty good man with a gun. He was conscious of the weight of it now, sheathed beneath his coat. Something was I coming; sure, Mc-Th- i Hugh was coming. Any minute now. Week'j Rrty knew it. They knew that Mcllugh Best had written to her, but they hadn't Fiction known what he had said. Now it was l- -J obvious: He had arranged to meet her here, on a certain El train at a certain time. It was three o'clock In the after-noon and Rorty had been trailing the girl most of the day. He was going to bring McHugh in by him-self, dead, as the saying goes, or alive. Most likely dead, or near it. Rorty had a notion McHugh would use his gun before he'd let anyone take him; well, that was fine with Rorty. Let McHugh's hand move and he would see Rorty's hand move, but quicker, and that would be about the last thing he would see. Take no chances with a killer, most of all a young one. So Rorty stood there with his screwy extra sense thrumming like a violin string, listening to the rum-ble of the approaching train. He had been pretending to be In difficulties with a gum-vendin- g machine on the platform. Now he gave It a couple of last jerks. His eyes slanted and he saw the girl stop her nervous pacing and stare at the train com-ing in. He saw that and he noticed too, though absently, the old woman who was the third person on the platform. She was feeding peanuts to the pigeons that always whirl and pout and parade around Sullivan Square. She vas a tiny little thing. In drab black clothes, and she was smiling at the pigeons milling at her feet, strutting up for what she had to give them. The train rattled in and stopped with hiss and shudder of air. It di'in't bother the pigeons; they were , used to the El. The middle door of the first car opened and Rorty grinned and turned and took three quick steps toward the door of the Rorty dodged and smacked squarely into the woman . . . the doors closed and the train was on its way. The driver nodded. "Okay, boss." He yanked the wheels and slapped her through low to high. A light held them. "You wanna see the paper?" he asked, like a good tip-wis- e hack-sfe- r. He fumbled for it in the bucket seat to pass it back to Rorty. "Dickens with it," Rorty com-plained, trying to get a look at the train above. "Step on this can, will you?" Then he referred to the pi-geons in picturesque speech. THE girl found a seat and the man held a strap in front of her. Both faces were young; alike too in that they were strained, white and empty. She moved to where there was more space and he fol-lowed and dropped down beside her. "You shouldn't have come, Mart. You shouldn't have taken the chance." "I had to see you," he said. "May-be the last time. They won't take me, Kit. I'm better dead than In the pen again." even been going to church. I even told one of the curates all about us. He said when you came on we could be married right, in church, I mean." He looked at her quickly. "Did you tell anybody?" "I had to," she said. "I told Ma. She would have known soon any-way. She wasn't against you. Mart, in in spite of getting mixed up in that trouble. She said she felt you'd be a good man if you ever got a chance. Oh, Mart, what are we go-ing to do?" "I'll get to Canada," he said. "I'll get there. Unless they they catch up with me. They aren't taking me, Kit. I can't help it, baby; I'm not letting them take me. I got a gun here and I'll" "Oh no. Mart! No, no, no!" Rorty missed it at City Square, but he got it at Friend street He knew they hadn't left the train; he would have seen them. He caught it, all right, but not alone. "First pi-geons," Rorty muttered under his breath with a few other words, "and now these lugs." He meant about fifty high school boys and girls. They were talking, laughing and pushing, and Rorty was jammed with them into the car where appar- - ently they all wanted to stay. Mc-- Hugh wasn't much older than any of these, Rorty thought grimly; well, 100 bad, too bad; product of environ- - ment, they called it; polite way of saying slums. He could see McHugh MM the girl up in the car ahead, that wasn't crowded. Plenty of space, Rorty thought, if McHugh went for it. Tough in front of the girl, but what could you do? Rorty shoved his way forward, Inch by inch. He didn't need that extra sense now, he could see what he was going after, but still it was plucking at his nerves. Maybe it means you're going to get it this time, Rorty. Maybe, maybe. "Dog-gone it," Rorty grunted, "out of my way, will you!" He was jammed be-tween a kid and a fat man, and the fat man was trying to read his paper, and the front page was liter- - ally pushed into Rorty's face. He couldn't help seeing it. "McHugh Boy Innocent . . . Mur- - derer Confesses . . . McHugh Exon-erated . . . Flight Attributed to Panic . . ." The train pulled into Boylston street while Rorty was still reading. He shouldered past the fat man, went out the door and walked down the platform. He put his arm in an open window and tapped McHugh on the shoulder and said quickly: "You're okay, we don't want you. Hey, leave that gun alone now; throw it away. Don't get scared so quick after this." As the train jolted ahead he shouted from the platform, "Buy a paper!" "What did he mean?" Kit gasped. "Gee gee, I don't know. Gee, I I Say, he said, get a paper. I haven't any change. You got any pennies?" "No," Kit said. She smiled: The first time in a week, it must have been. "You want to know why? See, Ma knew I was going to meet you. She wanted to have one good look at you, she said. She promised she'd act like she didn't know me, so I told her where. She said lfd look better if she was doing something. an& I gave her my last few cents to buy peanuts for the pigeons." Greet the New Year With a Buffet Supper! (See recipes below.)

LYNN SAYS: Tested Cooking Hints Save You Time Green peppers taste best in salad when shredded or slivered finely rather than chopped. When you make cream puffs, drop the dough into muffin tins instead of on a cookie pan to insure high puffs. Using two spoons instead of a lork when turning a roast in a pan will save the juices because there is no pricking of the surface. When scalding milk In a pan, grease the bottom of the pan with butter or a mild flavored fat to pre-vent scorching or browning. To prevent poached eggs from spreading, stir the water vigorously in one direction and drop the eggs in the middle of the whirl. Save making an icing by sprin-kling chocolate chips over a cake aft r removing from oven. Let stand in warm oven for a few minutes and then spread Sprinkle with nuts, if desired.

Out of every 10 bulls engaged, approximately 7 are fooled at the first glance and walk away, while the others are not deceived until they push the statuesque mata-dor down off the pedestal and see his body motionless on the ground. Occasionally, a bull is not duped at all and the matador has to run for his life. |
