ANSWER ’•sn;*H *t mjvj[ -g aniJtfg *1 FILING CABINET ROMANCE By Don Wood O AM SMITH slammed the draw- O er of his filing cabinet and stumped back in his office chair He regarded the haggard visage that looked back at him from the mirror on the opposite wall. “You,” he told his image “should go have your head ex amined.” I He pulled himself from his chair and forced his feet back to the files. Grimly he began to finger through the long line of folders. I “What one girl can file, one Prosecuting Attorney should be able to find,” he told himself grimly. His troubles had all begun that morning. He realized now that he had been busy, fretful, and impa tient. Ellen Jones, his confidential secretary, had been a bit slow in finding the Smathers file. “If you don't mind. I’d like to have that file before the moss gets too thick on it.” he had snapped. Ellen had looked up in surprise. Apparently she too had been hav ing her troubles. One thing led to two, and by noon they were not on cordial terms. He had ^pent the first afternoon hours in court. When he came back to his office there was a note stuck in Ellen’s typewriter. “Dear Mr. Smith.” the note be gan. “I think it would be best if you found yourself a more com petent secretary. You can con sider this my letter of resigna tion.” Sam glumly dug away at his files. He knew that his impatience had cost him the best secretary in Wainville County. Ellen was hone calls to Ellen’s home ght no results. Her mother, . iously caught in the middle of f-.e affair, told him Ellen was not at home. Her tone showed she wished she could do something to help. Sam found it hard to open his nffice door the next morning. It would soon become evident to the county officers that Ellen was not here. He dreaded the thought of trying to explain. Sam Smith made a hurried trip to the downtown section, and re entered the court house with a long box. He picked up the phone and called the county sheriff. “Sheriff, I want you to send a cruiser to Ellen Jones’ home. Serve a subpoena if you have to, but get her to this office right away. This is official business.” Sam sat working hard as Ellen entered his inner office. The look on her face said all too clearly that she was not here of her own will. The blue-clad deputy, obvi ously enjoying his work, made elaborate efforts at holding her arm. Ellen jerked her arm free and gave the officer a menacing look. “^ell, Mr Smith, what is it you wanted?” Sam kept his eyes on his desk. Gruffly he replied. “Need the Smathers file-. Can’t seem to find it.” Ellen walked to the file cabinet. Her little gasp echoed across the room to him. She turned away from the cabinet holding a bou quet of roses. “Read the card,” Sam smiled. Ellen pursed her lips and read aloud. “Dear Miss Jones: I think it would be best if you came back to work. Ypur boss knows you are a fraud, and,besides, he needs you.” Ellen tried to look puzzled. Sam rose and placed both hands on Ellen’s shoulders. “You knew I had a psycho pathic case today. Also, you knew no secretary would look under “S” to find it. You planted that note for me.” Sam looked from Ellen’s blush to the door. The deputy stood grin ning. Sam continued to keep his hands on Ellen's shoulders. Over her shoulder he winked at the officer. “Close the door when you go out.” 4 Colors FELT $2.95 yd.

On * I' HE air is crisp and clean, -*■ chilled a bit by the wind from the North with its promise of winter You 'huddle low, peering anxious ly through the sparse foliage of the “shooting hole” in your blind: head down so the birds will catch no reflection from the whiteness of your face or from your eye glasses. A few feet away you’* companion goes to work with his call and somewhere in the dis tance a chorus of replies indicates a big flight of birds has caught the message. You check your gun. adjust to a more comfortable shooting position and prepare for action. It comes with sudden fury as birds swing in from behind you. diving low across your decoys, bobbing, weaving, and filling the air with their excited chorus. You get birds with most eveiy shot and your fingers shake as you load and reload your automatic. Then it’s over. Your barrel is hot to the touch and dozen or more birds are scattered among your decoys. You relax and light up a smoke, owing there will be more of the same kind of action very soon. You don’t finish the filter-tip. A new flight of birds wing across the horizon. One call turns them and gets them “on the string.” Head down, you watch them for what seems like hours as they get closer and closer, then pitch in on your decoys like rocks dropping from the side of a cliff . Action? You can't beat it. And any nimrod who has been proper ly exposed will tell you that shoot ing crows along an established flyway offers all the thrills and ex citement of wing shooting at its very best.
