"If you're afraid to go out there, don't try to atop me." Sorry," Doe aaid. "But you're not going into that mob." She slipped past rum to tne coro ner and grabbed up her 12-gauge. "You're not going to prevent me," she laid. Hii face was white and tired, almost as tired as his voice. "Oh, be sensible!" he said, which was good advice, but not the way he said it CHE was trying to raise the gun. J For a minute I was sick and dizzy. You can't tell what hysteria will drive a woman to do. Doc said in the tone of a casual sug gestion: "I'd put that gun down, if I were you." "' Juddy went over and sat on the stairs and burled her face in her arms. A red glow showed through the window and spread and lighted up the sky. . "You might as well be going," I told Doe. "I'll wait outside," he said. The crowd melted away. I got Juddy to bed. She wouldn't speak to me. Her hands and feet were Icy and every now and then she'd stiffen all over. I got jier nxea up with a hot water bag and went outside. "I want a doctor, Doc," I said, "This thing has got her." "There's old Starrow at Bran don," he said. "We can stop a car." We went out and signaled one. A man lurched forward from the rear seat. It was Maurle Sears. He was drunk. Had to get that way, I reckon, to nerve himself up to that business. He turned his face away. I'm not sure he knew i. The lad at the wheel was sober. He said he'd be glad to fetch the doctor. The old boy was there in half an hour. He went at Juddy like he knew his business, shot her full of dope and told me to keep her out of commission for a few days. Old Swoby did what no darky would have dared to do; cut the body down and burled It In a corner of the bluff above Tambay Stream. There was some beefing and threatening when the white trash of the country and the young toughs of the towns found out about it' They're always the lot that raises the trouble. Who was this Old Swoby? You never could tell about these greaseballs. He'd better watch his step. It worried Doc. He flxoj up a place for the little man to sleep, inside the stockade. The trouble blew over. But Doc oiled up the gangster's rod. JUDDY mooned around like half J her Joy in Tambay was gone. Sometimes I'd catch her staring down the road toward Tambay ireeL ana see the shudders take hold of her. Nothing would make her go that way. After all these weeks when I'd watched her ad just herself, getting young and warm and soft and gay like she was meant to be well, it made me sick to see her slipping back. Then all of a sudden ahe shook . herself one day and got back into harness. It was thia way. I'm pretty husky, but the rate that . business was coming in, I was hardly getting a chance to eat or sleep. Then the good old reliable digestion slipped a cog, and I came down to breakfast green around the gills. Juddy came out of the fog and gave me the careful eye. "Mom, you look tired." . "Well, I am tired." "What's the matter?" "Nothing, nothing at all. Just that I've been doing double work except Sundays when I make up for it by doing triple. Don't give it a thought." She mulled over that a while. Then she said, "My theory is that I've been acting like a heel." "Argue it yourself," I said. "I'm too tuckered out." From that minute my partner took hold like a bull-pup. She threw in Ollle and Nollle and Uncle Andy, and trained them into an efficient working team. In a week we were handling our teg- ular business, easy, and readying up for the commencement crowds that would be coming on. Where Juddy got her commer cial savvy from, I never could tell you. Must have been In her blood. She cooked up a snappy little cir cular and spread it over a picked list for a hundred miles around. She subscribed to a lot of news papers and whenever she read of an excursion coming our way, whether it was a visiting basket ball team or an Elks outing at the islands, she sat down to the camp typewriter and two-fingered out boost for the Feederia. notaries and Chambers of Commerce she contacted personally. To meet the Commencement rush, ahe bought the tent of a medicine show that blew up in Brandon and rented cots from the armory. Our ac counts, when I could find time to figure them, made sweet reading. I said to her,. . . "Ideas! You've got 'em, all right, pal. More of 'em pan out than I'd have thought too." .

"Others more distant from the site of the explosion are often picked up in a state of profound circulatory collapse without visible sign of injury." Some of the deaths were ex plained by finding lung injuries. A few deaths were due to carbon monoxide produced by the explo sion. But other dead had no internal injuries, even though microscopes were used in looking for possible brain damage. As a first experiment, TO-pound high explosive paper bombs were set off in S. Zuckerman's labora tory, with animals placed at vary ing distances. The nearest were 13 feet away, the most distant 70 feet. The animal? were mice, rats, guin ea pigs, rabbits, cats, monkeys and pigeons. The experiments were repeated with hydrogen and oxygen bal loons as the explosives. In no in stance -were there flying missiles to hurt the animals. Beyond 20 feet no animal was g'it. I l-zi-42 BUT WHAT DO I CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK? MA I "TO BE LED BY THE NOSE BY MY WAN1TY?

Most of them were quieter than before the explosion. Some showed signs of breathing troubles temporarily. The medical guess at present Is that the source of this kind of death and shock lies in disorgani zation of the blood vessels. The direct pressure of the explosion would not necessarily have to be the reason. The brain itself might be affected, so that its nerve cen ters lost control of the intricate blood vessel system. The shocked persons sometimes develop nervous and mental troubles. Some of these have been greatly benefitted by taking the synthetic male sex hormone, testo sterone propionate. A community-wide home talent show, with the price of admission a defense stamp or bond, was staged in Pelican Rapids, Minne sota. More than 600 persons in vested over $3,000. SIDE GLANCES WJ .
