OF greeting. told me now seriously

to tell me what he intended doing, so
as to relieve the situation I told him
that had overheard a conversation
the night before. 7 also spoke OF me
fact that / was only eighteen years
old. and that the thought OF living
without any legs was more than
cared TO face. and that the legs be
longed TO me. and that I thought
should be the one TO decide what was
TO become OF them.
He heard me very quietly, and when
I had finished. he said: You know.
Evans. that orders must be obeyed-
He was insistent that I should have
my legs amputated. and was certain
that they would not be, so, TO ccstclude
the argument. I reached under rsy Pill
low and drew out a revolver. I told
him that there were six loads IN II
and mat II he OF anyone else entered
NV door with & case OF instruments l
meant 20 begin shooting, and was
sure that there would be six men dead
before those legs were cut on This
b-or ght matters TO a crisis. and IN q
moment the surgeon came IN very
ansry. but the result was that tbs
legs stayed on. After that. little at
teation was paid 70 me, and had Il
not been for the kindness OF my friend,
INC doctor. and his little girl. I should
have died"
