 The Loyalist government en- ragged at the loss of the Biscay stronghold, that never before had been seized by an enemy, sent q great fleet of war planes over the city to carry out a threat of fer TOT against terror.
 Thousands of men, women and children ran for cover thru streets still piled with debris of the long Rebel siege, when the Loyalists planes roared over them. The Loyalist announced that scores of fighting panes participated in the counter attack and that six rebel planes were brought down in flames in violent air battle.

men who were watching the
tableau with an interest that
would have amazed Tommy and
Jimmy had they known Of it.
80 you're Boy Scouts, are you?"
the old lady went on. I've grand
son in the Scouts. A fine little
man he is too.
"Oh, maybe he's in our troop"
said Tommy. whats his name?"
"Oh, he's not here in this town,
no. He's far away from here. But
when I see him again I'll tell him
how I met two fine little boys like
you"
A car whizzed by just as they
got to the opposite curb. 1t came
so close that Tommy had to duck
ana in doing so he almost fell off
balance. In fact, he would have
fallen had he not graSped instinc-
lively at the old lady'S dress. His
fingers closed round something
hard and he pulled himself up
right.
Thanks to you, boys" she
croaked. "That was mighty nice
of you to help out an old lady
like me. Here's a quarter apiece
for you to buy candy with"
"Oh, no, no." both youngsters
cried together in diSmay. I'VE
couldn't accept money for doing a
good deed. That would spoil every
thing"
Tommy wore a troubled look on
his face as he entered his fathers
bank. He wasn't very old but he
was a Western boy thoroughly "a
miliar with the feel Of a pistol,
and he knew as well as If he'd
seen it that it was a pistol that ne
had clutched.

TELL SUSPICIOUS

He was sorely perplexed until he
observed his friend Jack Thurs
ton, a captain Of the State
mounted police, leaving his
fathers office. He took Captain
Jack aside and hastily told him OF
his suspicious. Thurston was all
attention.
The innocent appearing old LADY
was limping into the nearly
deserted bank. Thurston watched
her make her painful way to the
cashiers cage. His alert eye
caught a movement Of two men
leaving the black sedan. He threw
the heavy doors shut quickly and
locked them. He stepped behind
the old crone keeping a hand on
his own gun.
"Who are you?" he demanded.
She wasn't a helpless old woman
any more but a young trapped
wildcat, and no female Of the
species, either. Thurston took a
rap on the chin from a heavy
fist and the butt Of his gun
crashed through a ragged bonnet
to a skull.
They didn't catch the trio in the
sedan, but the old woman turned
out to be Blackie Ford, a much
wanted bank robber with a large
price on his head. A couple Of
months later a check came through

tits your money, son." said his
proud father. What do you want
to do with it?"
II want to donate it to the
maternity hospital fund, of
course" said young Tommy
promptly.
"And who put that notion into
your head?"
Nobody did, father, but, you
see, we've got all the money we
need, and you won't give the
hospital anything, and people
don't think it's right. so I'll just
give 'em what I've got.
"And I'll just double 1t, my
boy" said hard old Tom Morgan.
We'll show this town our hearts
in the right place, won't we.
THE END
The Washington times., 1937-08-26
ANXIOUS TO HELP

Look at that poor old lady try.
ing to get across the street." Tom
my said to Jimmy.
Gee, we'd b e tt e r help her,
hadn't we, Tommy" Jimmy cried.
Course we better, and what's
more we better be quick about it
too or it'll be too late"
II wonder who she is? I don't
ever remember seeing her around
here before"
"Oh, some stranger in from a
ranch, 7 guess. Gee, look, She
old. amt She?"
Looks like she must be 80 or
90. My gosh, Jim, she can't
hardly walk she's so crippled up"
Cant I help you, lady,
please?" Tommy said solicitiously
placing . timid hand on her
shaking arm.
please, lady," said Jimmy
coming up on her other side,
"don't worry, Tommy and me will
see that you get across all right. "
The beneficiary of this well
meant assistance looked first at
one lad and then at the other as
if not knowing what to do. She
shook off Tommy's grasp first, a
little roughly, he thought, and
groWled something under her
breath. Tommy thought it a very
threatening growl and found
himself wondering too at the un-
usual strength displayed by an
old lady who looked feeble
enough to be in bed.
Then she seemed to be little
regretful and managed to bring
a crooked grin to her wrinkled
and scanned old face.
well, boys, so you want to
help out an old lady like me, do
you?" she croaked. That's real
nice Of you, must say"

Jimmy explained This is part of
our duty"
