There was silence. The rain
dripped and dripped from the red

About two weeks after the accident

physicians who had been giving al.

There was no visible change IN Mar
tin, but that fact in Itself was so sur
prising that Il was construed into
definite hope that he would live.
Not as he had lived, they warned
his wife. 1t would be but restricted

at best to move about within a small
boundary on crutches.
