S outhern Oregon News Review, T hursday, Ja n u a ry 13, 1949 NEEDLECRAFT PATTERNS 'tice- I STILL DON’T LIKE IT, FRANKIE By C O L IN D E L L Corner Frankie had big ideas but when he struck what he thought was real pay dirt, Louie rebelled, albeit meekly. Everything went smoothly . . ' . . enough, but that, as ta r as Louie was concerned, was what was wrong — it was too smooth. i f|gl HEARD a valiant cardinal Dark-red againSt the winter dawn, He whistled from a leafless tree Upon a barren lawn.

He walked to a Frankie's hard black eyes gleamed contempt. He snorted de­ risively, then turned his attention to the figure advancing along the graveled footpath. He was an old man, but his i bearing was u pright and dignified. His progress was leisurely and the reason was evident. It was a white cane he carried in his rig h t hand. The tap-tap-tap of the m etal- tipped w alking stick rang clear in the afternoon a ir as the old man felt his way along the b rick- bordered path. He was w ithin ten feet of the car when F ra n kie L i- bold and Louie Ferensic closed in, one on either side. “ A ll right, gran'pop, ju s t take it easy and do as you’ re told and you won’t get h u rt,” F ra n kie L i- i bold said. He prodded the old fel- 1 low with a blunt-nosed revolver. "Ju st keep on w alkin ’ and act natural.” The blind man faltered fo r an instant and a shadow flicked across his face. Not fear, perhaps, but something akin to it. Then Louie Ferensic grasped his a rm and urged him forw ard and into the car.
