CHECK MAGAZINE DESIRED ABOVE (X) me your newspaper for a full year, and the magazine checked ESCAPE FOR TWO By Marcia Daughtrey Alex Dole^al slid carefully off his bunk in the dormitory for delinquent minors, picked up his shoes in • one hand and his scant uniform in the other. He controlled his breathing so that inhalation was deep and sustain­ ed and exhalation long and quiet. He stepped cautiously on those boards that he had learned from a month’s experimentation did not scream that one of the boys was out of bed and prowling. Alex came as near being thankful for the crash and roar of the wind outside as he had been for anything during the past eight months. The approaching storm was covering up the drumming of his heart. His stomach, too — twisted by excite­ ment and craving — set up a clamor of its own. “Shut up,” Alex thought fiercely, addressing his stomach. “If it hadn’t beeh for you I wouldn’t never have got into so much trouble.” He re­ membered the early morning approp­ riations of milk, and his punishment seemed out of all proportion, He transferred his shoes to his oth­ er hand and gripped his middle with a grimy fist as he inched out of the barnlike room and along the hallway. He could' hear the history prof snor­ ing in the room to the left. “Don’t let him wake up,” prayed Alex. “Don’t let him.” Above the wind rose the mournful whoop of one of the hounds from the pens behind the sheriff’s office. Drib­ bles of perspiration slipped across Alex’s cheeks. He slipped along the- cold wall. Just ahead was the stair­ way — another danger. If he could just get to the kitchen and the one unbarred window that he had surreptitiously unlocked that night, he could get out of this place. And outside stretched a free ’world where he could hike to Mrs. Raw­ lings. Mrs. Rawlings didn’t know about his trouble. 'She had been his teach­ er last year and she understood a guy. She had had a boy of her own, but he di&d. She had told Alex one day when he found her crying. That hound split the night again. “Ain’t it enough,” cried Alex voice­ lessly, “that them dogs will be after me in thejnorning without they gotta spoil my chances tonight?" If he cpuld get to Mrs. Ravvlings he knew ♦there was something like guardianship that would make it pos­ sible for him to stay with her. He thought of her as a female God. She had encouraged him to sing — and he loved song. Before his father was killed in the mine Alex had sung at all the school programs. Mrs, Raw­ lings said he had a “future." It sounded swell. He wanted that “fut­ ure" now. He wanted enough to eat — he was always hungry. He wanted to be able to sing without having the kids make fun of the “wop howl- ling." He was the constant victim of their practical jokes; the dozen ap- parents accidents each day that madei him the laughing stock of the school. Creeping along the resounding dark­ ness Alex remembered the only car­ ess he had ever known -— Mrs. Raw­ lings’ hand on his head. The wind was louder now, and in the distance there was the low rum­ ble of thunder. At the first nearby clap the whole building would come to life to pull down the windows. The kitchen door at last! Alex had begun to feel that it had moved to the wilds of Tibe't. He crashed into a pan. His mouth was like sand. He crouched, quivering, and listened. He put on his clothing with stiff fingers, then climbed to the narrow window. There went that hound again! A spine-tingling wail. In an agony of haste he dropped his shoes one at a time to the ground below, extending his ears for any dis­ turbance in the building. S.leep was still protecting him. “Gosh!" breathejd Alex, Wriggling furiously he finally edg­ ed through the -window and reached the gravel. In the thunderous roar he gained his feet and catapulted across the yard and over the steel fence. He had stuffed his pillow in the middle of the cot, but one of his tor­ mentors would thump it and he would be missed. Then the hounds would be turned loose. A fire kindled*in Alex’s breast and scorched his throat. His eyes burned and his legs dissolv­ ed. ° He sank to the ground- '‘He crawled into a storm drain and rest­ ed on a discarddd wooden box ar­ ound which the water was eddying. He was sobbing in dry, aching gasps. Back at the reformatory, Savage, the biggest and toughest of the hounds, was turned out. The rain would soon eliminate footprints and Savage alone could be trusted to .take care of the situation. What might happen’ to Alex was dismissed with a shrug. He had run aw.ay. He knew about Savage. Just before daybreak 'as Alex was half lying at the foot of a tree whose thick branches promised safely dur­ ing the daytime, Savage came leap­ ing through the brush. Baring his fangs the dog advanced with his belly scraping the ground. He was matted with mud and his eyes -were bloodshot. Alex was too terrified to move. A gush of tears blinded him. Squeezing his eyes shut he gritted his teeth and waited. Savage turned his head on one side. Not to have the quarry run was a distinct surprise. He sniffed and found the scent agreeably , young boyish. Rumblings died in his throat and he sauntered up to Alex and laid a heavy head on the boy’s knee, look­ ing up with comradely eyes. Alex, ventured a torn hand on the bloodhound’s head. “Gosh,” he gulp­ ed, “I guess you don’t like chasing people any better than they like run­ ning! You better come on to Mrs. Rawlings’ with me.” DIVORCING CLARK GABLE In Reno now seeking a divorce is Mrs. Rhea Gable, wife of the Holly­ wood motion picture star, Before leaving the film colony it was report­ ed’ she had received ,a settlement that eventually will reach $500,000. Clark Gable is said to be planning to marry Actress Carole Lombard. ADVENTURE SCHOONER MUTINY GETS JURY ATTENTION The.^crcw was green and that was « Me cause of all the trouble.

THE GIANT OF __THE WEST In 1909 a little mill on the banks of Thunder Creek in Moose Jaw, Sas­ katchewan, began to turn out a flour named after .the great English hero — Robin Hood. Its daily output was about 150 barrels. Today Robin Hood mills can supply more than a third of the flour -used by all the people in the Dominion of Canada. But Robin Hood does not supply Canada alone. ' The flour milled from washed wheat finds a warm welcome in '52 countries of, the World. By truck, railroad, ship, canoe, aeroplane and pack horse — on* the backs of Chinese coolies and the heads of Egyptian bearers — Robin Hood RUPPERT’S WILL WAS A SURPRISE “I didn’t know I was even in the will,” said Helen Winthrope, discuss­ ing with newspapermen the millions left her'by Col. Jacob Ruppert, bach­ elor owner of the New York Yank­ ees. She sajd she had no intimation that she was to receive more than- one-third of his baseball,’brewing and’ real estate fortune. As Winthrope* Wayne, she has appeared in the chorus of several New York stage.- succe.sses, Flour goes wherever bread is eaten. The men who established the first Robin Hood mill had one simple idea which they set down clearly in the beginning: “We will mill the best possible flour from the best wheat grown.” They placed in every bag of that flour a guarantee of “Absol­ ute Satisfaction or Your Money Back Plus a 10% Premium." Today Robin Hood offers you ev­ ery improvement, of modern milling science; it -offers you all the old-fash­ ioned qualities that went to the mak­ ing of good bread in your grandmo­ ther’s day. And every cent you pay for the flour plus a 10% cash prem­ ium is waiting for you at your deal­ er’s if Robin Hood does not please you better than any other flour mill­ ed Canada.
