Nightmare
YOUNG doctor called in from
Canted ilgnaJed her. Take

Kathleen hurried over to the od
josite side of the ward She
reached foi the wall with a iteady
in hand. The head on the flat pil

head.

Clear blue eyes looked up at
her. tried to tell her what his lips
were too weak to m. She bent to
kiss them, to warm the chill of
the blue line with her own warm
red lips.
"Balmy, you saved them alL
Every one of them."
His lips moved She leaned close.
"Donald.' he whispered. "Did .
they ... find ... the .. . lad?"
Kathleen's voice was blithe and
reassuring. "Oh yes." she answered
readily, "he came In right after
you." She broke off as Norman
waved to her from the doorway.
"They're calling me Balmy. Til be
right back."
Not until she was half way
across the ward die" she realize
Balmy hadn't been referring to
that first night of the lire.
Norman grabbed her arm and
hurried her through the doorway,
then thrust hat and slicker at her
"They've found him," he told her.
"we've got to get down to him."
"What happened?" Kathleen felt
the cry was torn from her. Her
sudden descent from 1oy to de
spair was not more abrupt than
the down shoot of the skip they
entered.
"MacDonald stopes are lust the
opposite from the Gregorys. We
work down from a level instead of
uo. The men lav along the steDS.
The rescuers handed them up to
the tunnel which had come out
near the top. Tough business that

the rescue men started leaving.
They didn't realize Donald wasn't
with thim until they were outside
checking up.
"Is ha . . . did they find him ail
right?"
Norman barked the answer as
the skip touched bottom. "If he'd
been all right he'd have made his
own way through. They had to
make a sling to lift him ... oh
damn it all. if he hadn't been so
all in before he started that work
He wouldn'1 eat he couldn't sleep.
He had worries enough with the
mine without breaking his heart
over you. I don't see why in the
devil you two can't get along."
Kathleen was biting her lips to
keep back her cry of remorse. She
could have eased him over that
period of waiting. She could have
forced him to rest and take nour
ishment Norman grabbed her and pulled
her back against the tunnel wall
Men were moving slowly forward.
heavy burden carried between
them. The burden was Donald
MacDonald.
To their plea, the one who had
directed this last rescue shook his
head. "Can't tell. He must have
dropped from the tunnel to the
bottom of the stops. Don't know
whether he's unconscious from the
fall or a dose of foul air."
That scene would stay with
Kathleen forever. It had a gro
tesque quality The rescue crew in
their padded suits and queer
masks, the weird lights giving
them an inhuman appearance. The
dark tunnel stretching back, it
seemed, to eternity. It was all part
of a nightmare.
Kathleen caught one glimpse of
Donald as he was carried into the
skip. With Norman she followed to
the next level and found It another
chapter ol the nightmare. The
emergency ward was a vellow pool
in a world of stvgian darkness: the
white clad attendants, ghostly
figures from another world.
Uliss SpHTer
"pUERNEY," shouted the floc
tor, "get him to the surface
Clear the emergency room. Ruth.
Helen, with mel"
Kathleen had always marveled
at the speed of the skip, now she
fretted as one carried her up in
the wake of the guerney.
The door to the emergency ward
was closed when she reached
there. It opened once to le; Mrs
MacDonald in Norman said thev
had heard she was living up.
"You'll call me the moment . . .?"
Kathleen couldn't complete the
que.ttlon.
Norman nodded.
Kathleen stayed awav from
Balmy, knowing he would sense
the cause of her worry It seemed
hours before she taw the nurse
standing at the door beckoning
to her. The girl looked puzzled.
"Have vou ev?r harr! Mr Mac
Donald sneak of a Miss Spiffer?"
Kathleen shook her head. "No."

Doctor and nurses were racing
towards her. "Stop that" they
called. "You've antagonized him
enough . get outl"
And then they stopped. The blue
lips of Donald MacDonald had
curved into a satisfied smile.
"That's nw spit-fire. That's my

Kathleen took it warmed it be

mured. ,"It was the only way he'd be

Mrs. MacDonald sat on the op
posite side of the bed. Doctor
Cleveland advised them to talk.
"He'll be aware of normal voices.
It will free him of the fear of being
entombed Call me if he wakens.
"I've iust arrived " Donald'a
mother said "Tell me about every
thing, oh not the mine, but vou
two. Have you been quarreling?"
"Have we ever done anything
else when we. were within speak
ing distance?" asked Kathleen,
hopelessly "Oh 1 don't know what
will become of us."
"You think yout differences1
can't be solved by reason?"
"Not by reason. We seem to have
different perspectives. I can't un
derstand Donald's loving his own
people so sincerely and humanely
without a little of that love spilling
over the line to the Gregorys."
Mrs. MacDonald smiled. "Per
haps I shouldn't tell you this, but
if Donald doesn't I must. His love
has spilled over the line That is
why he wouldn't release the right-of-way.
A long as the Gregorys
owned The Golden Girl he was
unable to help the Gregory min-
ftrx. Ha hnf. hnnprl tn hnv In thm

Gregorys without the right-of-

taught them to believe in a Mac

Doctor Cleveland sent them home.
"He'll be all right. He'll send for

For the first time, since she had

Gregory house.
fcven arter she had stepped rrom

It was quiet the blinds were

Strange as It seems, but for an
odd quirk of fate Thomas B. Dewey
might have been New York City's
Number One Baritone Instead of the
big town's leading "racket smasher."
Educated at the University of
Michigan, Dewey was picked as the
school's best singer during his senior
year, and represented Michigan at
a national singing contest at Nash
ville, Tenn.. placing third.
In the 1920's Dewey went to New
York to be an opera singer and
turned out to be a public prosecutor,
for at Columbia University's law
other agencies." That procedure, he
said, has been "agreed to in part."
"But accounts rendered to Wash
ington are not complete," Tulloss
said.
Tulloss said, "certain documents
are still withheld, particularly
check."
