eyes were closed and he looked
as though he were sleeping.
There was a bandage across his
forehead.
Gale said, "Mrs. Meyers, Pm

The woman did not look up
but her hand found the girls
clung to it. She sobbed, ooh,
Gale. they wouldn't take him
from me! He's all l have

Her shoulders rose and fell
spasmodically. Gales fingers
pressed the hand in hers. What
was there to say?
Presently, Mrs. Meyers straight
ened. dried her eyes.
"The doctors coming back"
Gale told her.

Gale was never to forget that
vigil - the house completely ST.
lent, the room with its sparse,
neat furnishings, the single light
shaded so that the glare would
not fall on the bed. She was
never to folget Steve, lying so
still against the pillows, his
mother at the bedside, bent and
weaping.
There was Steve's desk with
/ the books he had been reading.
| There was the puzzle he had been
telling Gale about earlier in the
evening" silly bit of cardboard
he had picked up somewhere.
And there was a baseball and a
worn pair of boxing gloves,
Steve's sweater on a chair. The
! dresser with the brushes she had
given him once for Christmas.
Once Mrs. Movers looked across
at the girl and said, choking, Its
good of you to be here. He'd
he'd want you-if he knew"
Gale rose and went to the older
woman's side. "If only there was
something we could dow she said.
The long hours dragged on.
! Toward mornin" the hush was
broken by a birds song. The
caroling notes, soaring gaily,
seemed brutal. How could there
be gaiety in the world with Steve
close to death?
A little later Jasper wilkins
came to the door. Gale rose and
answered his questions. No, there
was no change so far as they
could tell. Gale asked Jasper if
he would like some coffee and
offered to make it for him. He
said no, if she'd show him where
it was kept ned make the coffee
himself.
Gale went to the kitchen and
presently was back. The silent
waiting went on.
1t was just before dawn that

LEANED forward. "Steven" she
said, "speak to me. Oh, say

went for Doctor Carr"
That was the story. Doctor
Carr had been at work behind
the closed door ever since.

Yes, it was taking a long time
an eternity. Gale pressed her
hands together until the knuckles
stood out white. She saw Stoves

except for the ugly, dark stain,
She heard his mothers tortured
cry.
Josie touched Gales arm.
Don't take it so hard, honey"
she said. "Steve's goin' to be all

ooh, Josie-if he shouldn't!
"But he will! Steve's strong"
Yes, Steve was strong. He al

CHAPTER XLVI
A tall, leather-9isaged man
named Jasper Wilkins told them
what had happened. Steve had
been carried into his own room
Doctor Carr was there now, and
Mrs. Meyers was there.
Gale and Josie and the men
who had carried Steve home wait
ed outside the closed door. Jasper
explained that Steve had been de-
Tending himself from the leader
of the gang that had broken up
the mill workers meeting. Get.

until another of the gang, com,
ing up from behind, had struck
Steve with a club. He had fal.

had been plunged into darkness
Everyone had fled then, Jasper
said. He himself had slipped
through a rear door, stumbling
against Joe Gillaspie. Together
they had made their way to the
next houses, waited with others
who had gathered there.
'But what about Stexe?" Galc
begged.

Did you pay for it"
We'll. no. didn't. AS a matter
of fact, Ed Allen paid for it."
"On what occasion?"
"Well. Ed bet me that ! wouldn't
be elected chief of police, and bet
him that I would"
And having lost the wager, Mr..
Allen bought for you the hat in ques-
tion?"
Haynes was becoming sullen by this
time. Yes"
Mr.. Haynes, are you aware of the
law in this State prohibiting gam
pling?"
THERE was no answer to the ques-
ton.
so that, in the eyes of the law,
the hat was not actually your prop
crty?"
II don't know"
And could not, therefore, be stolen
from you?"
Again Haynes was silent.
Hemingway then addressed the
court: Your honor, the plaintiff has
proved that the hat which he claims
was stolen from him did not legally
belong to him. Therefore, he could
not be robbed of it. The gun has
been proved, by a subsequent witness,
TO have been no gun at all, but an
imitation which could harm no one.
Therefore the charge Of robbery with
gun cannot be sustained. I ask for
a directed verdict Of not guilty."
The Enquirer is the daily newspaper
IN our town. and the next day it
printed verbatim the courts decision
in this case. handed down orally as
old Judge Green peered over his
glasses at the squirming plaintiff:
1T appears that the plaintiff in
this case seeks to have the de-
fendant convicted of robbery with a
gun, and that the object declared to
