He was sixteen. Had he taken time to walk, he might have had time to think. This. I am sure, never had occurred to him. He slid to a full stop in front of Tom Brennan's desk. Tom was the editor, chief reporter and owner of the Chronicle. He looked up as Ronnie adjusted his clothing. “What’s up this morning, Fashion Plate?” “Oh nothing much.” He feigned nonchalance. "Just a scoop for yours truly. That’s all.” “A scoop?” Tom looked mildly in terested. “Where, who and how?” G,* -V-r--TAT.VltTm'lV-LLVA —.1 T A SHORT-SHORT STORY '] By DANIEL F. LINDSAY j p *5 “When you leave call the opera tor and ask her to put any calls for the paper through to you at the courthouse. Just report exactly w’.iafc happens in that court room. Nothing more. Above all, no personal opin ions. Have it ready for Jack to set up when he comes in at one o'clock.” He started for the door. “Oh, yeah.” He turned around. ''In the right hand comer of my middle drawer you’ll find a card you might need.” Ronnie waited until his car had pulled away Find made a dive for the desk. There it was. Ronnie grew two inches in half a minute. It was a press card, with his name on it. At ten minutes until nine Ronnie entered the county courthouse. The proceedings consumed nearly an hour. It was a busy hour for him. He tried to get every word spoken into his note book. He hurried back to the Chronicle office and sat down at the battered old typewriter. After two hours of banging on it; he looked up. It was noon. At one o’clock he had to swallow his pride and help the pressman. At four o'clock they were ail out and on the street. Ronnie grabbed a copy, as he had seen Tom do, and sinking back into a chair read every line. He was amazed at his own daring as he read the write-up on the divorce proceedings. His cockiness oozed out of him. It didn’t seem such a good idea to take matters in his own hands as it had seemed before the paper went to press. At four-thirty Tom burst into the office with murder in his eye. “Ron nie!” he exploded, “what got L:.o you?” “What do you mean? It looks pret ty good to me.” He eyed Tom wariiy. “It would.” He saiik into hia chair. “Oh, brother! This should stir up something!” He stared moodily ct the desk. “I guess it’s all my o"n fault. I ought to have known bet.:r than to leave a sixteen-year-old with a newspaper.” • Ronnie got a sic!; feeling in die pit of his stoir.rch. “Tom?” IZz am led weakly. “I hope It won't c' i • ’ ' y U-u-l:.” j 1: . . *. .

She’s been in a lot of trouble and the Court has decided if Mrs. Slater won’t take her she will have to go to the Orphans’ Home.” Tom let out a low whistle. “Mrs. Slater must have some sister.” “I guess so,” Ronnie admitted. “Whenever they talk about her I have to leave the room.” “I get it.” He laughed at Ronnie’s hopeful expression. “But I’m not let ting you in on It. You can get the facta of life from your Dad.” “Well, then,” he sighed dismally. “How about the story? Can I write It up?" Tom stared Into space thought fully for ja minute. "It hasn't come to court yet, has it?” "It comes up this morning. I heard Pop say so.” “Well, then,” he smiled, “you cover It as It comes out In court. Ronnie couldn’t believe his ears. “You mean I can handle it alone?” “You’ll have to.” He didn’t look too happy about it. “I’ve got to go to the capitol this morning. It might 4ke me all day.” “Look, Ronnie.” He stared at Ron nie doubtfully. “I’m not too sure about leaving this thing to you.” “Oh I’ll be all right. Tom.” Ron nie attempted to look older than he was. “Just leave it all to me. I can h :fle it for you.” ■ Okay, son, cniy remember.

He emphasized this last. “And it’s over another woman.” “That’s no scoop. It’s dirty linen.” Tom stared at him coldly. “We don’t waslr it in the Chronicle. You know that.” He lowered his head again. “Wait a minute,” Ronnie insisted. “The other woman is only six years • .Veil, why didn’t you say so?” r.jr-.r.’o leaned back with a self- r •>. “I got it fre i Pop. Ronnie took out his press card and laid it on the desk. “I—I’ll see you later, Tom. If I can help let me know.” Tom looked up sensing the utter defeat in Ronnie’s voice. “Pick up your card, boy. Every newspaper man has to leam from mistakes. How do you think I learned about personal opinions?" Ronnie shook his head. > i “From Just such a stunt as yours. Only it was a murder case. I picked the wrong guy!” He smiled faintly. “I got canned.” “But I’ve still got a Job?” Ronnie’s hopes started to rise. “Maybe. If I’ve still got ft news paper you have.” Ronnie felt sick again. They both turned as the door opened. It was Charlie Slater and his wife. Ronnie swallowed hard. Tom braced himself. Charlie spoke first. "Tom, did you write that story about Us In the pa per this afternoon?" “No, sir,” Ronnie interrupted Tom, “I wrote it while he was up at the capitol.” “Why?" “Why, I don’t know.” Ronnie racked his brain. “I just said what I thought, I guess.” Mrs. Slater laughed. “We kinda thought It was you Ronnie.” Ronnie began to feel a bit better. "Anyway,” Charlie smiled, “to make a long story short, we decided if a sixteen-year-old lad thought we were a couple of fools, maybe we were.” “And,” she finished it for him, “we wr>nt to th-mk you.” Ronnie heaved a sigh of reiLf. ;They ail laughed. .

Silverstreet, Bush River Win In Class 'C Tournament Here (By Donnie Wilder) All eyes were on Ellerby Neal, six- foot-nine-inch center for Silverstreet, as he dropped in a total of 43 points as the final game of the class “C” district 2 tournament, held here in the armory, was reeled off. Neal’s 43 points in the final game raised his total for the tournament to 94 tallies, which he copped in three games. The Silverstreet hoys glided through their three games, downing the Prosperity boys, 67-31, Little Mountain, 62-36, and ran quickly through the Pomana quintet, 58-33, to take home the District 2 class “C” crown. * I The Bush River girls had a little more trouble fitting the crown on their heads than did the Silverstreet boys. The Bush River sextet had to win four games before the title was theirs. The girls from Bush River gave the Silverstreet girls the once-over, 30-19, downed Prosperity, 27-12, and climbed over Little Mountain, 22-17, before they met the Kelly Pickney girls, who were sporting the high- scoring girl of the tournament. This girl was Sara Harris, who had swish ed the net for 35 points in a pre vious game, with Hickory Tavem.- The Bush River girls managed to RECOVERS FROM SINUS TROUBLE Mrs. resident orf Ware Shoals, is Anally on the road to recovery, after suffering two years ^ , .... i , with sinus trou- > ble.
