And though his own left arm was
numb to his finger tips and hung
useless at his side Donald Keene
managed to remove the others
clothing above the waist.
He found an ugly looking hole
some four inches to the right of
the spine and just above the lower
rib. Evidently the lower part of
the right lung had been pierced
from the rear. A thin trickle Of
blood seeped from the wound.
"I'd better get some water" said
Don and rose to follow out his own
suggestion. He found q spigot, but
the spigot emitted nothing. He
turned, dismayed, toward his two
companions. The Italian was
watching him with eyes that had
grown big with new, scared look
in their dark depths.

Don spoke grimly. But let's not

slimpsed the girls white face.
"Anyhow. I'll do what 1 can to stop
that blood flow"
All he could do, however, was to
use part of the undersEirt as a pad
and fasten it with Costello's belt

fingers near the spot.

Charley Costello to look at hel

tents save by drinking from the

overflow, as Costello had said, was
like mud.
"Why does-Charley breathe like

Teddy's voice was charged with
terror as she asked the question.
Don paused and considered.

slumped down again, weakly.
Teddy had determined hours be-
fore to keep her nerve at all costs.
She must not lose it now, she told
herself fearfully.
What time is it, Ted?"
Don had raised himself, but the
effort was too much. He sank back
on the hard cases.
Teddy was looking at the watch.
It's tiny hands pointed to 4 o'clock.
Better wind it, Pal" Don advised
in feeble voice.
Teddy wound it and held it TO
her ear to make sure of its ticking.
AS she listened the realization sud
denly struck her that the room had
become unnaturally hushed.
It's explanation came to her in a
flash. She missed the hoarse, steady
rumble of the gangster's breathing

Get it out-for me, will--will you

this pain-any longer!"
Charley Costello had unwittingly
called upon Donald Keene to do the
one thing he hated above all things
to do. Don had witnessed many
times during his year of service
overseas the results growing out of
the administering of morphine to
wounded soldiers. He had seen
men fight and claw, beg and cry,
for the drug. He made as to rise
and comply, but Teddy anticipated
him. She took the hypodermic
and gingerly adjusted the needle.
Fill tn gun-quarter full" d.
rected Costello. "That'll be half a
grain-it holds two grains-15 full
hypos in tn bottle.
When the instrument was ready,
Teddy lost heart. Don saw her
white face, and took the hypo-
dermic from her. Holding up the
skin on his friends left side he
jabbed the needle in and pressed
the piston.
Better take one-one yourself,
Don," advised the young gangster,

But the pain he was suffering
was overpowering the morphine's

big dosage.

endless to the two wounded men

CHASTITY glimmer over the scene.
Charley's breathing had become a
continuous rumble. The sound of

Teddy had kept close watch over
him. Now she saw the gangster
was rapidly sinking into unconsci-
BUSINESS.
Occasionally, the monotonous
rasping of his breathing was
broken by sharp, choking gurgles.
Teddy would hasten to him and
lean close, believing he wanted to
speak. But the gangster's eyes
were glazed. No light of recogni-
ton seemed to glow In them.
"God-just one drink of water!
Don staggered up. Teddy sprang
to assist him.

said desperately. He lurched to-
