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.

"You go right laack to your
work," she urged Mr. Mason
when she returned to the trailer.
"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.

Wool Flower Pictures
Pattern No. 1840
Soft rose, blue and purple tones predominate in this charming
pair of embroidered pictures. 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.
