At that time ST. Croix was consider.
ed the most disloyal piece or territory
over which the Governor ruled and our

Through some trick of fate the people
of ST.. Thomas are up in arms against

BY DON ALLEN

~-~@AAAN-N
 The wild and woolIy days have gone forever from Silver Bend. but every man in town still has a shooting iron, as the gang that held up the First National Bank last week soon found out.
 The holdup was staged boldly and they carried 1t out without a hitch. They pulled it the day the pay roll for the Lucky Streak mine came in, and any one could see they had figured 1t out way in ad- vance.
 They were five of them, and they drove into town in a big black sedan that looked like 1t could go places. One of them stayed at the wheel of the car in front of the bank while the rest went inside. They didn't trouble to hide what they were doing; they just walked in with a couple of submachine guns and told everybody to reach for the ceiling.
 Everybody did except Pop Kerr rigan. Pop didn't even work for the bank-he just happened to be in there. and it made him so mad to see a bunch of city thugs pulling one like that right under his nose that he lost his head. He dropped behind desk and reached for his six-shooter.
 Gangsters, rats or not, they were faster than he was, and he'd handled a gun all his life. A short thickset man with a pock- marked face that. the rest called Boss" put three slugs in Pop be- fore he could fire shot.
 They didn't figure on running into trouble and they were sur- prised when they ran into a show CT of gunfire all along the street as they started out of town. They answered with a spray of machine gun fire that ruined all the win- dows along one side of the street and didn't waste any time getting away. That black sedan sure could travel.
 Later we heard the story of what happened. One of the gang noticed that Boss seemed to be sleeping and that struck him as being fun- ny, so he shook him. but Boss wouldn't wake up. He moaned a little and his eyes stayed closed.
 Hey. you guys. look here! Boss got plugged"
 They tore his coat off, ripped his shirt to pieces over the breast that was stained with red. They didn't know anything about medicine, but they had seen enough bullet holes to know that Boss was hurt. and hurt badly, and that they had to get a doctor.

Happy Missionaries

There is something gripping and
appealing about Christianity when it
impels young people to give up ease
and luxury and brilliant prospects
for career, and go to the wilds of
Africa or to the squalor of India to
tell these people the old, old story.
There is no more inspiring reading
than the biographies of some Of
those who went to foreign lands as
pioneers of Christianity. We are
often surprised to find these mis-
sionaries so happy and content with
their chosen work. When home on a
furlough most of them are eager to
return. Hardships and dangers bring
to them no fears, even among the
the cannibal tribes.
A missionary arriving on a new
field said, "And do You know any
thing about religion?" The chief re-
piled, well, we got a little taste OF
it when the last missionary was
