"7 YOJ RETIRE , CIRCUS 5 Loser Take All By Adelaide Chapter 12 Ann was not a nurse but she had taken the Red Cross course In home nursing and she knew a little about the flu. So in an hour she was on her way to the Mason trailer. She walked from Terrance House the three blocks to the hill that led to the bridge across the river. .The street went up a slight Incline to the level above but the trailer camp was on the gentle slope between the street and the bank of the Flatte. Here large shade trees and rich grass made an Ideal site for the war workers' homes. Ideal unless the river had one of its Infrequent and and yet treacherous floods. It looked Innocent now, but Ann had once seen it change from a quiet stream to a roaring tor rent In an hour. The Mason trailer was in the middle of the group of thirty or forty others. She found it and Mr. Mason waiting for her "Dr. Miller said he'd come when he could," Mr. Mason told her. "He's the plant doctor." "All right. But in the mean time I'd like to gel a few instruc tions from him. Suppose you slay here a few minutes longer while I go back to the first store and phone him." She found Dr. Miller kind and helpful. He told her a few sim ple things to do to reduce Mrs. Masons' fever, to make her more comfortable and advised Ann to get a thermometer to make reg ular checks on the woman's temperature.

"I'll look after everything." She had seen trailers display ed at auto shows and she had glimpsed the luxurious com pactness of their gleaming wood work and polished chrome, But she had never supposed one could be as barren as the Mas ons'. It had none of the built in conveniences and the walls weren't even sealed on the in side. It was, as Mrs. Mason tried to explain, a little more than a shelter on wheels. But it was a shelter in lieu of a house which Radville didn't have. ,Mrs. Mason's bed was a sani tary cot with a blanket over it for a pad. Here she tossed rest lessly, her lips parched and her cheeks flushed. In an ordinary clothes basket at her side lay the baby, Mary Lee. The make-shift sink was stacked with dishes and the two burner oil stove sitting on an orange crate in the corner boast ed a greasy skillet and a smudg ed coffee pot. Ann's glance must have re vealed her distress for Mrs. Mason murmured. "I been down a week. He just don't get time to clean up." "That's all right. Don't you worry a minute," Ann assured her. "I'll straighten up. But first we'll do a few things for you." She followed the doctor's in structions explicitly. In an hour Mrs. Mason was resting. Then Ann began on the baby. She had seen few babies un der six months old and she cer tainly had never bathed one. But she bathed Mary Lee. With a few cautions from the mother about holding the head back and firm she washed the baby in the round while basin with wa ter carried from the commun ity faucet. She found a last clean shirt and diaper and Mary Lee's gur gles of delight when she return ed her to her basket were re ward enough. Next, she gathered up all the soiled cloths, bed linens and towels. These she made into a big bundle and called for laun dry service. She knew Mr. Ma son wouldn't object to the ex pense. She withheld several changes of clothes for Hie baby and a gown for Mrs. Mason. These she washed out herself and hung them on an improvised line out side the trailer. By 5 o'clock the little home was clean and orderly; Mrs. Ma son's fever was down two de grees and Ann prepared a thin broth for her. This she fed her by the teaspoouful. Then she planned a simple dinner for the rest of the family. Jack, the eight year old son, MER GUARDS TOOK IN THE SITUATION. ONP PLACED rut MUZZLE Of A PISTOL AT JANES SIDE AND CALLED TO TAJCAM, came in from school and stood round-eyed when he saw Ann. "Gee," he said. "Oh, gee!" Ann smiled. "Want to hold the baby while she takes her bottle?" "Uh huh." The boy seemed eager to help. Ann warmed the formula and Mary Lee was soon manipulat ing the nipple and sighing with content. There was a small table hing ed to the wall and Ann set it for the meal. Everything was ready at 6:30. But Mr. Mason didn't come home until after 7. "Had to check some of the men out," he explained. "That makes me late most of the lime." Ann said "You're a foreman?" "Well I help the foreman," he replied. Ann took her patient's tem perature, prepared to leave for a few hours. "I'll go home for some rest now," she told Mr. Mason. "But I'll be back at 12. That'll give you time to get some sleep." "I don't know how to go about thanking you." "You don't have to thank me. You do your work at the de fense plant and I lake care of your family. That's one way for me to do my part." . She was too tired to go to the dining room for her own dinner and so asked for a tray to be sent to her room. Then she threw herself on the bed and, exhausted, slept a dreamless sleep until 31:30. She slipped quickly into a fresh cotton dress (thank good ness she had brought a couple of last summer's with her), put on her Tuxedo coat with the gold lining and made her way through the hall to the front of the house. She considered calling a cab, decided against it. It was only a ten minute walk and there were street lights most of the way. The big trees on the lawn made dark splotches on the grass. Instinctively Ann skirted their shadows and hurried on. The street lights cast a faint circle of yellow about their base. She ran from one to the other always grateful to reach the next. She was going down the hill to the bridge when she first be came aware of the figure that moved along behind her. She told herself it was only an illu sion. But when she reached the bridge and her heels clicked on the boards, the figure's steps clicked too. Heavier, faster. (To be continued) ACROSS 31. 1. Worry I. Fruit ton . Quick and skillful 19. 12.

The old-fashioned bouquets are most effective stamped on natural or dark linen and embroidered in wool yarns. Different weights of yarn may be combined, the finer yarns for the lilac sprays, smaller flowers and stems, the heavier yarns for the pansies, rose and iris. If you have no yarns on hand, cotton or rayon flosses may be substituted. Pattern envelope contains hot-iron transfers for two designs, each about 8 by 10 inches; color chart, stitch illustrations and full directions.
