WHAT'S IN A NAME?
TULSA. Okla.—There’ll have
to be a law before Tulsa’s dog
catcher can acquire a more

reasons it was proposed he be
called the “city humane officer”,
but Police Commissioner John
Rheam says he is down on the
payroll as “dog catcher” and if
he wants to collect his salary
regularly he’ll have to call him

Reunion
'T’HIS was the strangest journey
o* nei life, thought Petronella.
She was fulfilling prophecy -As the
gipsy woman, in her \ .n at the
D- . by. had indicated she would, |
she was making her way. of her
own free will, towards a besieged
city. But fear had left her. She had
never really had any power to
choose peace, and security. When,
temporarily, she had grasped it,
she had found so little happiness
that she was glad to let it go again.
In Valencia, she had had to wait
for this train, to take her part of
the wav to Madrid. Later, where
the line was in danger of being
cut, a special car should meet her,
if Rowdon’s wires had reached
Peter. For she had not waited to
see his answer. Peter and Tony
might both be there, or onlj Peter.
Petrel sat limply in her corner,
trying L> sleep. Bj. her thoughts
thronged too fast Only now and
then, they became fantasy. She
had arrived. No one had met her.
Shw had had to seaich in the dark-'
ness for .them, and when she found
Tony he was faceless: a cold, im
personal presence, who did not
speak to her. She woke, shudder
ing. and saw he. traveling com
panions.
One o f these was a young cor
poral .in the red militia He had
stood, when she entered the com
partment, with raised, clenched
fist. “Salud. Camarada!” He had
helped htr with her suitcase, and
been surprised when she thanked
him in his own language.
“You are not afraid to go to
Madrid?” She had laughed
“No. 1 have a brother there He (
will meet me at Albacete. unless '
he’s in hospital by now!”
“In that case I hope you won’t
join him too soon! Our convoy
will probably be bombed tonight
They are always trying to cut the
road.”
He sat now, peeping through a
crack in the flapping blind at >
the dark, dry, serrated country i
through which they were passing
The tram was oidered to show no
lights, for fear of ai. attack. In the
other iwo corners of the carriage
sat two new recruits. They were
going to join the Government
forces. Like the mercenaries of
past wars, they ha i sold their ser
vices to a foreign country. They
had talked to the Spaniard about
their reasons for volunteering.
One was a young Frenchman, en
listing beouse it had been dull at
home, and he wanted adventure
The other, a dour fellow, was a
South African of Scotch descent
H< was a prospector, cut of a job
He considered fighting belter than
unemployment
Would Peter meet her at Alba
cete? This was the stop wJiere
these men would change into lor
ries. and where she hoped to find
a car Or would she be forced'to
ask for a lift? Suppose Peter and ,
Tony had left rjadrid? In that
case, jhe would have to act mde- '
pendentlv; obtain the help of the
British Consul; perform Clare
Horton's commission, ard leave
again. Every day. families were
being evacuated to i3arcelr.na. and
Valencia. She would haw to leave
with them. if. bv any chance, she
did not .find Peter. Or. she admit
ted her real dread, if her meeting
with Tonv made it impossible for
her to <iav
Sudden Dczth
SHJ leaned toward the young
corporai.-
“Will mere be cars, as well as
ycur lorries at Albacete?’
He shook his head “Onlv i thev t
are ordered At right thev have
too much to do The government
is urging civilians to leave, feu the
sake it l the fcettei defense of the
city. Besides that. Madrid, has ene
mies inside as well as jut When
there is b raid, many ‘re killed,
not by bombs, but bv hand gren
ades. flung from windows. If you
should not be met. you shall come
with me. 1 will see that there is a
place for vou. But for youi sake.
1 would rather vou had a car.
Those devils are su|e to have
heard that reinforcefaents are
coming up tonight.”
Slowly the train drew to a halt
He smiled, and shook his head.
“No, we are not there yet; in
half an hour! This is a small sta
tion." Petronella stood up. and
went into the corridor. The air in
her carriage was thick, and stifl
ing. It was good to lean out and
breathe in the warm, night air.
Air which smelled of the dusty
earth of Spain, which had lain
baking in the sun, all day. and
now was damped by dew. A dim
lantern was swinging, and a haw
ker sold scrawny chicken legs to
the men who leaned from the win
dows. From the rear of thr train
came a burst of angry shouting.
A porter passed below her.
“What is happening?”
The Cheka were searching the
train for a dirty spy. They have
caught him. He will be shot, the
filthy swine!”
• She saw a young man marched
down the platform. Watching,piti
fully* she wonder whether Tony
- risked the same treatment when
LOW PRICES
ON MATERIAL
Prices on lumber, which should
appeal to every person contem
plating making repairs or build
ing. are contained in an adver
tisement carried on the front
oage of this issue by Strunk
Lumber Yard, located near
Clyde-Mallory Dock.
While only the prices on floor
ing and sheathing are listed in to-
THE KEY WEST CITIZEN
he carried a number as well as a
name.
The train was pulling out of the
little station again. As it did so,
the captive man made a sudden
wild break. Dodging and twisting,
so that h£ left half his coat m his
captor • hands, he sprang or to the
moving step.- He was close to
Petrel. She met his dark, desper*
ate eyes She started towards the
next door, intending, instinctively,
to help him. But a volley of shots
spattered against the coach. He
fell. It was better like that, she
realized. To be shot down, hoping
to escape, with your eyes filled by
a vision of the free hills, of the
village where the peasants would
have given him food, of the shag
gy pony, or mule that would have
carried him to safety. It was
better to die suddenly, than go
through the suspense of imprison
ment, the brutality of questioning,
the hopelessness of a trial
Behind her, Petronella heard the
door open, and a deep, cheerful
voice spoke her name.
“Petrel!”
She started, turned. She gave a
glad, amazed cry. “Peter!”
There he stood, small, sandy,
beaming, his arms held out to her.
She flung herself into them. Te
ter, how lovely!”
Behind him, in the corridor,
stood Tony. “He has come,” she
thought. To him phe held out her
hand. She did pot dare to look at
him. above Peter’s hard shoulder.
She could only wait. But Tony’s
hand gripped hers,
“It’s overwhelming to see you,
Peter. Last week, I thought I
never should, again.”
“Poor old darling! I’m desper
ately sorry you had such a scare.
How is Marigold?” his voice deep
' ened.
“Weil! I’ve got r. letter for you."
•What’s The Idea?’
”CEE here. n.> sweet, Madrid is
' a spot most people are leav
ing just now, if they have the
chance. What is the idea?”
Petronella took his arm. She had
simply an overpowering wish to
see him. she teased. Wasn’t that
good enough? And Martin Row
don was complaining of his punc
tuation. since he lost his secretary.
Peter retorted, with equal face
tiousness They could not talk in
front of three strangers.
“What is the state of the city?"
asked the corporal.
Tony answered him. “Unpleas
ant; You will probably arrive in
an air raid. By day shells fall in
the streets. There are dayligh* at
tacks. Incendiary bombs drop like
hailstones."
“Knowing Madrid as it used to
be. it’s so surprising." Peter told
her. “At first, it seems as incon
fruous as if someone dropped a
umb m Regent Street, on Satur
; day morning. But you soon forget
to think- 'This carvt happen here.*
It does happen. People run, gasp
ing. from one street to another,
and can't think of anywhere to
hide. You’ll have to go to the Em
bassv. tiil you can leave again. It
i won’t be comfortable. Something
, like two hundred and fifty people
I sleeping in lines, on mattresses,
and feeding in shifts. But you'll
be safer there. Talking of food,
my dear, are you hungry? ’ Peter
gave them the opportunity they
wanted. “I remembered there was
no restaurant car. and bought
some athletic looking chicken’s
legs. Suppose we stand in the cor
ridor anc gnaw them?”
“A lovely ; dea.”
They’ ail three went out to
gether. They stood with their
backs against the compartment.
Petronella stood Between Peter
and Tony Peter tucked one of her
arms through his.
“Never mind about the picnic
. for a moment. I want you to ex
plain vourself, girL What is all
thi-?”
Tony did not follow his exam
ple. He was still puzzled by her
presence. She could feel the taut
ness of hh arm which touched her
shoulder!
“Last week it became impos
sible. waiting quietly in Ballfleld.
Perhaps for the news you’d both
been killeo. 1 went to town. 1 met
Clare Horton at Victoria Station."
“Clare Horton!" Tony sounded as
though, already, he understood.
“She has been ill. But she want
ed to come to Spain to establish
: a camp for refugee children, near
I Madrid. She asked me to do it for
her.”
“Now 1 understand," Peter
sounded relieved. “We may be
able to help you. But I*d really
rather do it myself, than risk your
staying in Madrid, PetreL I mean,
I can’t imagine what James had
to say about it Perhaps he doesn’t
realize what Madrid is like, what
first hand war you’ll see? But if
anything happens to you, he’ll
blame me. Glad as I am that thi#
brought you out to see us—"
“Yes. James did try to stop me.
But not for his sake. For mine."
Petronella’s voice was uncertain
but she knew that she must teU
the truth. Tony was looking down
at her. She raised her head and
met his eyes in the half darkness.
They gave her the courage abe
needed. For she knew, “Nothing
is changed. He loves me."

CONCHS GAINED EASY VICTORY
OVER PIRATES IN FIRST GAME
OF CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES SUNDAY

Covington Struck Out Fif

Center At Trumbo Island
Formally Opened
By O. L. MILIAN
Key West Conchs _ walked
away with a 5-2 victory over
Roadside Pirates in the first game
of a Monroe County Baseball
League championship series un
der the outstanding pitching of
Lefty “Cannonball” Covington,
who sent 15 Buc batters to the
bench via the strikeout route, at
the new Trumbo Island ball park
yesterday afternoon. The park
was formally opened.
In the first game of a double
header, Seafood Grill nine bowed
to the Blue Socs to the tune of
4 to 7. This contest is the first
of a series to decide which of the
two clubs will gain second place
in thei league standings. The
teams finished in a tie at the end
of the second-half, which was
won by the Conchs.
The Pirate-Key West fracas
started off with plenty excite
ment as the former nine scored
its first tally in the initial inning
after Davila and P. Garcia, first
batters to face Covington, struck
out. C. Garcia was credited with
a scratch hit on his grounder to
shortstop and went to second on
| Acevedo’s attempt to beat him to
the bag but the throw went wild
and later scored when Cates al
lowed Torres’ grounder to get
away from him. Lefty chalked
up three strikeouts in one inning
after fanning Rodriguez.
Key West tied the score in the
first-half of the third inning"
Freddie Carbonell reached first
base on Ix>pez’ error, went to
third when Alfonso failed to stop
Villareal’s light grounder to sec
ond and scored on the catch of
Acevedo’s long flyball to center
field. The inning ended as
Cates flied out to second a mo
ment after Villareal was nabbed
off the keystone bag by a perfect
peg by catcher Rodriguez to C.
Garcia, who covered the bag.
Bucs came back with determ
ination and put across another
tally at the expense of two er
rors, a scratch hit and a base on
balls after Covington had fanned
the first two batters to come to
the plate. Pirates’ scoring was
checked for the remainder of the
game after this inning while the
Conchs put the game on ice after
tallying twice in the fifth and
eighth innings.
Although losing, the Pirates
got a good hand from the large
crowd that jammed the grand
stands and bleachers to capacity
for its fighting heart against a
much superior team. There were
three Buc players missing from
the lineup.
Covington was congratulated
for his magnificent work in the
box, as also was Mario Sanchez,
who, held the hard-hitting Key
West club to seven hits. Armando
Acevedo knocked in the winning
runs for his team iri the fifth
stanza. •
Ernest Qgden, a 14-year-old
high school boy, who was grabbed
by the Pirates from the Junior
League, won the fans’ applfluse
when he snatched five difficult
flies in centerfield. C. Garcia also
played a good game at shortstop
handling nine chances without a
miscue.
Frank Tynes, who started on
the mound for the Trojans in the
first game, was sent to the show
ers after the Sox scored a barrage
of hits and runs off his delivery.
Peter Castro, of the Sox, was re
corded with the first home run
hit at the new ball field.
G. Diaz. Sox pitcher, and Na
