And then on Tuesday, when she

Before the child's eyes, so close
that he could see his pets small
body mangled! 1t was horrible.
Would he scream? Was he
going to disobey? Not Wally.
Straight as a general, dry-eyed
and silent, he sat beside her, hold

But Wally'S daddy saw her.
Saw her from her own front

into the driveway. And before
she knew what had happened she
was in tall mans arms. He was
