ahe laid, ber voice hifh and shaky.
"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." .

were used in looking for possible
brain damage.

killed. 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.
