CALUBAN FROM CALEB
BY NORMAN KAHL
LAST WEEK: Angus gets
xray from the highway patrol-
man, leaves that officer in a but-
ter barricade, hurries on to New
York. There he finds himself
surrounded by a crowd of police-
men. He's been too busy looking
for Adoreen to worry about traf-
eic signals. When an officer starts
to arrest him, Angus starts swing-
ing. A well -aimed nightstick ends

ADDIE ADDS HER B!T
CHAPTER IV
When Angus wakes up, his head
feels like a concrete mixer and
the knuckles on his fists faintly
resemble sirloin steaks. He opens
;his eyes and looks around. Then
ice closes them again and remem-
bers a lot of sirens and police ears
and more uniforms than lie ever
saw in one place before in all his
life.
Angus is thinking how nice it
would be if he were iu Caleb, just
driving his truck and seeing
Adoreen a couple times a week
and—
Then he remembers that Ado-
reen isn't working at Herbie s
Curbside Cafe any more and that
probably right, at this moment,
while be is wasting time in a jail
cell, she is being pursued by some
Smooth -stalking heel. Doubtless the
heel has a moustache.
The vision is too much for An -
gm. He jumps up and notices for
the first time the gnard scowling
at. him through the bars. This
guard is not a pleasant looking
night. He has a neck that would
be more becoming on a rhinoceros
and he has a club in Ms hand. The
,man is not quite as big as Angus,
tut he is the best the New York
police department could dig up on
ehort notice.

FINE CUT

"I'm all right now," says Angus
cheerfully. "You can let me outa
here."
" Make one move," says the
guard, "and I'll wrap this tele-
phone pole around your neck."
Angus is confused. "I don't
wanta fight any more. I fret want
to get out."
"Sure. Remind me in 1080.
Meanwhile the inspector wants to
see you. He's waitin'. Better come
peaceful."

was mixed up in that riot. They're
all stere except the two that re,
signed and the three that ain't out

Angus looks eromd •and smiles
•at the cops, but his :smile freezes
when he sees that most of them
have bandages on their faces and
several of them are tveari>lg [lark
glasses. 'Too bad," he n)tu'mtire
sympathetically.
"I haven't time to •,describe all
your crimes in one afternoon,"
says the inspector, "but I can
gave you a rough idea. You aro
charged with speeding, driving
without an inter -state license,
stealing a, truek and butter valued
at $650, going through more stop-
lights than I thought we had in
New York and resisting an obiter
plural. Now maybe you'dlike to
start from the beginning to ex-
plain."
a m «
So Angus starts from the begin-
ning, which !s Adoreen. He talks
for half an hour while the news-
paper reporters are busy writing.
When be is finihed, the inspector
tells him that Mr. Wittenbaum,
his boss in C•aieb, reported the
theft of his truck and his butter,
that the trooper in the neighbor-
ing state has a distinct grudge
against him for the butter bath,
that every police force east of the
Mississippi has been looking for
Angus and a truck that drips with
melted butter and that if the in-
spector lets him go . the United
States will probably send an army
•
of occupation into Manhattan,
Even Angus can see there is no
sense in arguing with this individ-
nal. So after he is back in his
cell he just lies down on. his bunk
and thinks how nice it would be
if Adoreen had married hini and
if she weren't so impulsive, And
then he goes to sleep and has a
nightmare about Adoreen Mickle-
twidge sitting at a table and drink-
ing
rinking hard cider while a lot of oily
millionaires in monkey suits are
pinching her cheeks and offering
her cigarettes. which she smokes.

face, and Angus dives for the
cameraman wbo locks himself in
the inspector's washroom and re-
fuees to come out.
A dozen officers pile on Angus
and burl him in a chair. After a
couple of minutes, Angus figures
out that the gray-haired man with
th.e iron jaw and the ruddy face,
who is glaring at him from behind
the desk is inspector Callahan.
"So you're Ant us :t2aePhillips?"
says the inspector, and he looks
Angus up and down.
"Yes, sir," says Angus. "Glad to
meet you, sir." He waits and
nothing happens, so he says, "Nice
day, isn't it?"
"It w•as,"barked the inspector.
"Now, Mr. MacPhlllip, can you
tell me, if I'm not imposing on
you, just what in hell you thought
you were doing this morning?"
"I was looking for my girl and
a couple of policemen ,stopped
me."
Inspector Callahan explodes. "A

,'mired from what?"
"Your job—the one you wrote
about. Danein' in a ehorus, or
something.
Adoreen is scornful. "Oh, that.
It was gone when. 1 got there..
Anyway, 1 wouldn't have taken it.
It was in a burlesque show."
Angus is shocked, but he says,
"Look, Addie, when 1 get outa
b ere—"
Inspector Callahan motions to
the guard. "She can't waist that
long, MacPhillips—even if she
wanted to—which she doesn't.
Now that Miss Miekletwidge has
told you what she wanted to say,
yo may as well go back and pon-
der on your sins until the court
can set aside a week or so to han-
dle all the charges agaiust you."
Angus gets the impression that
Adoreen's eyes soften for a sec-
ond, but when she speaks, he de-
cides he is wrong, "Goodbye, Mr.
MacPhillips," she says. "Since I
don't make a habit of frequenting
jails, I won't be seeing you again
—I hope."

Wheu Angus wales up he is in
a cold sweat and the morning sun
is coming through his little win-
dow. The guard, whose name is
Joe, is rattling his club along the
bars. "For a guy what's got every
broken law in the the books on
his conscience you sure sleep like
a bear. Come on, you're wanted
in the inspector's ofiifiice."
For a minute after he steps into
Inspector's Callahan's office, Angus
is mire he is still having his
nightmare and then the idea slow-
ly sinks in that the girl sitting
next to the inspector's desk—the
girl in the soft, silky brown dress
with the white bubbly collar, and
the sheer silk stockings and high -
heeled shoes—is Adoreen !,Iickle-
twidge, prettiest girl in Dipple-
swink county.
"Addie!" Angus gulps, "Gee, I
was worried about you, Are you
all right? I wt,s gonna—"
But Adoreen's eyes are burning
like chunks of hor steel ingots.
"My name is not Addie," she says.
"To you it is Miss Mlekletwi,dge—
you low -clown heel, you smasher -
of -careers, y o u thick - headed,
brainless whelp, you—"
"W h a t Miss , ickletwidge
means," interrupts the inspector,
"is that she has no further need
for your protection and that her
chief ambition at tate moment is to
see that you be kept safely be-
hind bars for a century or two."
"But Addie," Angus pleads.
"Yon know how I feel about you,

After he gets back to his cell,
Angus is lonelier than he has ever
been before. He wonders if he can
smash the bars, and then he is
ashamed of himself because Joe
trusts him so. He doesn't know
that the bull-necked jailer has an
arsenal handy just a couple of
yards from Angus' cell.
Also, Angus is very tired and,
since he has lost both Adoreen and
his job, there is uo particular point
in getting out. He leans his tre-
mendous frame against the wall
and scowls at the floor.
In the afternoon, he asks the
jailer to play double solitaire with
him, so Joe stuffs some brass
knuckles and a six-shooter in his
pocket and brings a couple of
decks of cards into the cell. After
supper, Angus sits on his bunk
and chews;a stick of gum until the
lights go out. Then he rolls in and
manages to get some sleep.
Joe is yelling his name when
he conies to. It is morning again,
and for a minute he thinks he is
back in Pop Wergenheinter's hotel
in 11loosehart and Pop is waking
him up to drive the truck back to
Caeb. But when Angus sees the
guard's face, he remembers where
he is and grunts unhappily.
"Get up, MacPilillips," Joe is
yelling. "There's a dame to see
you. She's in the inspector's of-
fice.' Angus glares at Joe.
Adoreen said yesterday she wasn't
going to see him again—ever:
And there isn't any other girl° in
the whole city of New York who
knows him.
"What's iter name, Joe?" Angus
ashs.
"A. Miss Margate — and hurry
up. I've been yelling et you for
five minutes."
Angus looks at Joe and then
scratches his head. There is some-
thing funny here. He doesn't know
any"Miss Margate.

Fisherman's Luck
"Fisherman's luck," according
to Samuel N dily, professor of zo-
ology* at the University of Min-
nesota, is a negligible factor in
fishing as compared with knowl-
edge of fish feeding habits,
methods of fond detection, and
seasonal changes.
Welting in a recent issue of the
Minnesota department of conser-
vation's official bulletin, Eddy ex-
plained that fish such as bass,
sunfish, crappies and bullheads
eat abort one-tenth their body
weight per day during the sum-
mer, and that when this capacity
has been reached, a fish will take
little to no food the next 24 hours.
Walleye pike, he said, feed
more after sunset and northern
• pike often stop feeding at suuset.
"Fish usually feed became they
are • hungry, although some strike
because they are pugnacious," Ed'
dy said, "For example, a male
bass strikes at any moving object
near its nest although it does not
eat anything at this time."
All fish, he said, consume more
food in summer than in winter,
-and in almost all fish growth is
slower iu winter than in summer.
Water temperature is the chief
factor in determining amount of
food taken and growth, Eddy ex-
plained,

Saitmer Beverages
As we consider the subject of
beverages, immediately we think
of the much talked of topic that
of "Tea Rationing." Fortunately
it is summer and many ideas pre-
sent themselves to our minds. As
we acquire the habit of some of
the other beverages may we also
acquire the habit of being able
to do without that cup of tea,
which in the end may be more
healthful.
Iced Chocolate Milk
Mix equal parts of chilled milk
and prepared cocoa as for drink-
ing. Add a teaspoonful of maple
syrup or caramel syrup. Shake
thoroughly. Add one teaspoon of
maple ice cream in an iced coffee
glass. Serve with a spoon.
Or try this—Place a large tea-
spoon of vanilla ice cream in an
iced tea or coffee glass; add 'k,
cup of milk, then pour in ginger
ale to fill the glass, stirring all
the while. Drink at once.
Flavor iced milk with maple
sugar, with brown sugar, or with
melted chocolate peppermints.
Heat large chocolate mints in the
upper part of the double boiler.
When melted stir into the milk.
Mint Punch
1 cup chopped fresh •mint leaves
1 cup powdered sugar
1.2 cup lemon juice
4 cups orange juice
1 quart gingerale
Crushed ice and. mint sprigs
Rub the mint leaves and sugax
together until well mixed. Add
lemon and orange juice. Allow
to stand for at least 15 minutes
in a cold place. Strain and add
the gingerale. Pour into glasses
half full of cracked ice. Garnish
each glass with mint sprigs.
Wedding Punch
4 cups sugar
2 cups orange juice
2 cups lemon juice
2 cups pineapple punch
1 pint bottle maraschino cherries
Ice
2' quarts charged water
Combine sugar and fruit juices
and let stand until the sugar is
dissolved. Add the cherries and
ice. Just before serving add the
fizzing water. Garnish with
slices of orange and lemon. Serves
30.
Spanish Chocolate
4 squares of unsweetened
chocolate
2 cups water
teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons sugar
6 Cups milk
1 shake nutmeg
1 shake cinnamon
% teaspoon vanilla
Cut chocolate into pieces. Place
in double boiler over hot water.
When melted add sugar, salt, cin-
namon and nutmeg. Place oyez
direct heat, stirring constantly,
and boil 5 minutes. Return to
double boiler and continue to cook
the chocolate as long as you can.
. Slowly add the milk a little at a
time, stirring constantly. When
the chocolate becomes completely
heated beat it vigorously with a
rotary beater. Add vanilla. Foam
and froth will form — this will
give it lightness. Then serve and
there will be many calls for sec-
onds.
Do not serve heavy sweet cakes
or frosted cakes with this. Were
is a chance to be patriotic. Serve
light salted wafers or plain sand-
wiches,
The long cooking of the choco-
late, spices and the beating are
important.
