 Verna told Roy Vaughn, her fiance, about 1t, and Roy said that he'd be pretty busy with his grocery wagon for the next month or two, but that he knew a healthy looking fellow who hung around his store who ought to serve this purpose nicely.
 So 1t was arranged that way, and tall, blonde, healthy Apollo named Joseph Vanderhandel gave up pint of his blood for Verna.
 Every time Roy has called at the Grugett home since, Verna has been sleeping" or something while Joseph has disappeared.
