KEN NCWKIRK
>."VII
p'OR a whole day after the in-
surance man rame, Ellie went
around muttering to himself and
opening and shutting his hands,
and Debby guessed he was about
ready to burst. When he said he
was going into Orleans about
some business he had to attend
to late the next morning, Debby
looked at him suspiciously. "What
kind of business?"
Ellie grinned. "Just a nose
that needs punchin'."
"Newkirk?"
He nodded, still grinning. "Got
to get this thing straightened out
with Newkirk sometime."
Debby had been sitting around
the house for a week with noth-
ing to do but help with the house-
work and take Bull for walks. She
had ben about ready to burst,
too. The trip into Orleans prom-
j ised something interesting and
she said she was going along.
New kirk's office was empty, but
a man in a room down the hall
said they'd find him over at the
Grille. But in the Grille there
were two men drinking beer at
the counter, and a man eating
dinner at one of the tables, and
i none of them was Newkirk.
"Well, let's order some din-
I ner," said Elbe. 'We can look for
him later."
They both had the blue-plate
special, which was chowder and
roast pork and mashed potatoes
and carrots, and they had finished
their chowder and were just start-
ing on their main course when a
voice from the kitchen door said
enthusiastically, "Well, if it isn't
Elbe Daniels!"
They looked up quickly, and
there in the doorway stood New-
kirk. smiling, a plate of dinner
in one hand and a glass of beer in
the other. He came over to their
table and asked, "Mind if I sit j
down here?"
Ben Hogan Takes
6th Tourney Win
NKW YORK, i LP)—Little Hen
llogan, winner of six major golf
| tournament this year, gets a rest
; today befor play begins in the |
| $15,000 Philadelphia Inquirer!
| Open.
Hogan won his tournament
yesterday as he shattered all
records in the annual, $10,-
IKI0 Goodall round robin meet
with a ."it-plus advantage.
The old mark of Ill-plus was
set by "Lighthouse" Harry
Cooper in IH.'lti.
All of the top 11 professionals
I who played against Hogan in the i
! Cioodall. with the exception ofj
; British Open Champion Dick!
j Burton, will match shots with •
Hogan in the four-day tourney j
! at Philadelphia. Burto. who fin-1
; islieil last in the (toodall meet, j
withdrew from the Philadelphia;
| tourney in order to practice up
for the national opn which gets
underway in Cleveland next ,
week.
KUie said nothing, and Newkirk
turned to Debby. "How about
you? Are we letting bygones be
bycones^"
Pebby stared lcvcllv into his
eyes, smiling a little with her lips.
He smiled hark at her, and then
without moving his eves from
hers, he sat down. Slowly he
turned to Ellie. "Well, Ellie, what
are you doing up this way?"
"Eatin* dinner," Ellie said
shortly.
* * *
TE Newkirk noticed his un-
friendliness, he didn't show it.
He took a long drink from his
slass of beer and wiped his mouth.
"Good place to eat," he said,
"especially if you keep in right
with the cook." He picked up his
fork and started to eat.
Debby and Ellie both looked at
him and said nothing, and he
smiled at Debby and went on eat-
ing. He sure was good-looking,
she had to admit, and he had good
table manners. "Tell me, Eilie,"
he said. "Did that payment on
your house come through all
right?"
Ellie laid *lown his knife and
fork and glared at him. "I guess
you know whether it come
through or not."
Newkirk's face got serious, and
he looked back and forth from
Ellie to Debby. "They don't tell
me about those things," he said.
"Why? Didn't you get it yet?"
"What do ya mean they don't
tell ya?" •
"That's right. All I do is sell
the insurance. I don't have any-
thing to do with adjusting the
claims. Why? What's happened?"
"You mean to say you don't
know they're tryin' to gyp us out
of most half of it?"
Newkirk threw his napkin at
the table disgustedly. "Oh, for
cripes sake," he said. "Are they
trying to pull that stuff?" He
really did look sore, and Debby
watched him and found it hard
to believe he wan putting It on.
"What do they claim?"
Ellie went on eating his din-
ner, without looking up, so Anally
Debby said, "They claim that
forty-five hundred is all it's
worth, and they say that no mat-
ter how much insurance you paid
for, all they got to pay you is
what it was worth."
Newkirk nodded "wearily.
"That's right," he said. "All poli-
cies say that."
Ellie shouted, "Then if you was
only gonna pay me forty-five
hundred, what in hell did you sell
me seven thousand dollars worth
for?"
• •
TVEWKIRK looked at him sober-
ly. "That's just it," he said.
He sat there thinking, drumming
on the table with his fingers. Then
he looked lip and asked, "How
much was the house worth?"

though he was trying to trick
them into saying something they
shouldn't, but Debby grew tense
inside and avoided his eyes. Ellie
said, "That was a damned good
house, and furnished up good, too
You remember that dining room
furniture. You was willing to pay
five hundred—"
"Yes." There was something
different in Newkirk's voice, and
Debby looked up quickly. He
was smiling, doubtfully at first
with his eyes moving as though
he was thinking fast; then more
and more jubilantly. "Yes," he
said again, laughing. "I remem-
ber." He sat back and pounded
his fist into the palm of his left
hand, beaming with satisfaction
Then he pointed a linger at Ellie
"Ellie, my boy," he said, "you're
going to get your seven thousand."
Ellie watched him glumly.
"How?" he asked.
"Little Kenny Newkirk's going
to get it for you. Never you mind
how." He smiled at Debby, a
comradely smile that made her
like him better than she ever had
before. She was beginning to
think he was really nice. Hu
looked back, at Elbe. "And after
you get it, if you don't spend
some of it buying me a couple ot
drinks, I'll never speak to yoa
again."
