comfortable as possible and the
next morning he went to Brightlook
!. hospital where it was found neces-
sary to wire the bones to keep them
in place, He has suffered greatly
with it. His sister, Miss Edith AL

his thumb and other fingers badly
damned. DIR. Mackay was away at
the time and they took him to Miss
Mabel Darling's and called DR.. Pache
