1t stung him on his eyelash.

The blinded killer took one hand
from his Tommy-gun and struck
viciously at the pest. In doing so
he hit Craddock on the back just as
Interest aimed at Clark.
Craddock, keyed to the limit at
the prospect of killing the man he
hated more than anything on earth,
and startled by the blow, swung
completely around to see it's cause.
In that brief instant he obstruct-
ed the view of the other gunman.
Inky went in.
His flying tackle struck Grad
dock squarely in the small of the
back. Interest, hurled forward by
the impact, in turn struck both
gunner as he fell.
All hell broke loose.
Toots dived for the nearest gun
man and Immediately became
locked with him in a desperate
struggle for possession of the gun.
The man was big and powerful,
too.
Inky rolled clear of Craddock
and struck the other gunman in the
stomach from crouching position.
The man dropped his gun and Inky
had him.
Craddock, with a below of rage,
jumped up from the floor. In fall
ing, he had allowed both guns to
get away from him. A raging
demon now, he rushed Clark. Clark
side-stepped the rush and hit In
terest a terrific blow over the
heart. But Craddock could not be
so easily stopped. He grabbed the
half-empty bottle of Scotch and
threw it at Clark. 1t struck Clark
on the shoulder and staggered him.
Craddock came in fast and wrapped
his arms around Clark in a bone
crushing hug.
Clark brought his knee up and
drove it into the insane mans
groin. Craddock released his hold
with mad cry of pain, and Clark
hit him squarely on the mouth.
The blow knocked out three teeth
and flung Craddock over the table
with a crash. When he attempted
to rise, Clark kicked him in the
stomach. That would have nearly
killed sane man, but Interest was
no longer sane. He rolled over and
came up with one of his guns. He
fired twice, and Clark felt his left
side go numb.
But neither was Clark to be
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-12-10

stopped. Before Craddock could
shoot the third time, with his last
moment of consciousness, he struck
with every ounce of his rapidly
diminishing strength. His fist
struck Interest squarely on the chin
and knocked him halfway under
the bed.
Clark went out, but his blow had
finished Interest. "There he is,
JIM" he said as he tainted.
So Clark did not see Toots reach
in his back pocket with one hand
and he held on to his opponents
Tommy-gun with the other. Toots
brought his gun out, and blew the
top of the gangster's head off. The
stricken man pulled the trigger of
the machine gun as he died and
twelve of the bullets hit Craddock's
body under the bed. He was liter
ally shot in two.
Inky, knowing every trick OF
rough and tumble, had gouged his
enemy's right eye almost out. The
man, screaming with pain, attempt
ed to stagger to the door and Toots
shot him down.
Then the detectives burst in.
Clark regained consciousness
days later. He awakened in hos
pital bed to find Verda at it's foot
where she had been standing and
praying for many a long, anxious
hour. A nurse stood on one side
of his bed, and a doctor on the
other.
Clark managed a faint smile.
Hello, hon." he said weakly.
"You cannot talk, Mr.. Griffith"
the doctor warned. He had brought
Clark from the very gate of death
and he meant to see that he didn't
slip back.
Verda came quickly to his side.
Eyes, please don't try to talk, dar-
ling. It's all over. You have won.
The state was carried two to one."
She knew he would want to know
that. "You must get well, now,
and we will go away for a long
time"
"Inky?" Clark asked. The doc
tor frowned.
"Outside, dearest. He has been
at your door every day. The po-
lice found evidence in Craddock's
office that his nephew is innocent.
He will be back from prison today.
The Governor had him released
Immediately. August Tweed is 60
ing to get him a job"
"Now you must rest, darling"
Clark took Verda's hand in his.
"No hiding place for love-" he
said, as he dropped off to sleep.

TlUO Skaters Rescued
From Lake SuperiOr.

Two Harbors-G Grabbing an old broom
and dashing to the aid of frantic
skaters who had plunged through the
ice, Anthony Jaska, 19-year-old CCC
boy from Virginia, Minnesota, rescued
two boys from Lake Superior. Earl
Kendall and Walter Lee, two youths
from Pine River, were skating about
one-fourth mile from shore when the
former fell through the ice. His COM
panion rushed to his rescue only to
break through into icy water. Their
cries for help attracted the attention
of the nearby CCC workers, and mem
bers from two companies rushed to
the shore. Without thought of his own
welfare, Jaska grabbed an old broom
and dashed to the aid of the frantic
skaters. Cool and unconfused by the
cries from the shore to come back and
the desperate cries of help from the
struggling skaters, he carefully formed
his plan of rescue. When he reached
the boys by keeping on the more solid
ice floes, Earl managed to climb out on
the ice, but Walter was growing weaker
from his struggle in the icy water.
GraSping his skate, JaSka extended the
broom to the boy, who was stricken with
terror, and dragged him to safety.

Sweetheart Ordered
By Mail is Tilted.

Detroit Lakes-A mail-order sweet
heart, was Tilted at bus depot here,
but she refused to believe that her love
had been scorned by local man who,
she had been told, would make her a
good husband. The man had sent her
money for transportation, together with
letter which promised everything
perhaps even little slice of the moon.
The alleged lover wrote he was count
ing the minutes and seconds until she
arrived. He told her he would be wait
ing for her at the bus station and from
there, he vowed, they would rush with
out delay to a justice of the peace to be
married. Enchanted by the letter and
with its words tingling her imagaina-
ton, the girl lost little time in reaching
Detroit Lakes. But when she stepped
from the bus, no open-armed Romeo
embraced her. No one greeted her.
She re-read the letter with its beauti-
full assurances and baniShed the thought
that the affectionate sentences were
only sweet nothings. With $3.50 of the
$500 which she had in her purse she
registered at hotel for one night and
then, without eating, spent two days in
the hotel lobby. With her last fifty
cents she bought gas for the car Of a
stranger, whom she persuaded to help
her search for the missing boy friend.
The fourth day city officials bought
her a ticket back home, gave her a
dollar for food and a patrolman took
her to the station.

st. Cloud Man
In Hero Role.

st. Cloud-Risking his own life,
Henry Scotland recently rescued an
eight-year-old girl who would have
plunged down 200 foot precipice had
he not dove down an icy hillside in
puSuit. Mr.. Scotland was enroute home
from California and was visiting his
sister in Dubuque, Iowa, when the &C
cident occurred. Two eight-year-old
girls were passing an embankment and
one dropped her purse. The purse slid
down the Icy hill which ends in steep
precipice and in her attempt to re-
trieve it, the girl hurtled 10 feet to
where she was caught and chung onto
a small tree. When her companion
saw this, she attempted rescue but
also lost her footing and was sliding
toward the ledge when Scotland arrived
on the scene, attracted by their cries.
He "dove to her rescue" and carried her
to safety while police and firemen were
called to the assistance of the other girl
clinging below the bluff.

StrOng-Arm Methods
Make Tough Biscuits.

How much the cook kneadS the dough
may determine the character of baking
powder biscuits.
The least possible handling-ju just
lenough stirring to moisten the ingred-
tents and then dropping the dough on
a baking Sheet-produced tender, crisp
biscuits, uneven in shape. The same
dough spread on a board, cut and
baked, produced even, crusty, flat bis
cults. Dough which received Is to 18
strokes of kneading gave tall, light,
flaky, tender biscuits. But too much
kneading produced tough, flat, close
grained biscuits because the gluten in
the flour was developed to the point of
toughness and some of the leavening
was lost.
These four different types of biscuits
were made from the standard recipe
which calls for 8 cups of sifted flour,
teaspoons baking powder, l teaspoon
salt, 6 tablespoons fat, and l cup of
milk, or enough to make soft dough-
and baking in an oven registering
$50 degrees F.
These are some of the findings re-
ported by the Bureau of Home Eocon-
omics as result of recent studies in
making quick breads. Biscuits made
with the same oven may vary widely If
the dough has different handling.
This study also showed that folding
and rolling the dough several times pro-
0ucad flakiar hiSoI1itc than kppa dino
it on the board, and that the less flour
added to the dough on the rolling board,
the better.

Fishernaan's Lunch
Enjoyed by Fish

Grand Rapids-A member of the local
high school faculty, Cecil Stensrud, lost
part of his lunch while fishing
through the ice one day recently, but
at least he had the satisfaction Of see
ing the lunch eaten. Mr.. StenSrud had
gone to lake some distance from
Grand Rapids to spear northern pike in
a fish house. No fish had appeared for
some time, SO he brought forth his
lunch to eat while waiting for fish.
just as he was raising JUICY fried pork
chop to his mouth, large northern
pike darted in after the decoy hanging
down in the water. Startled, the fisher
man reached for the spear, at the same
time dropping his pork chop, which fell
into the water. He looked after it.,
only to see the big fish turn from the
wooden decoy seize the pork chop, and
swim away she swallowed what was
probably the most appetizing morsel
he had found this winter.

Child Walks Home In
SnOlU Without Shoes.

St. Charles-Walking stocking-foo
to her home from school in ten below
zero weather, Jean Pfiel, the six-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Pfiel,
froze her foot from toe to ankle. Be-
cause the teacher, who usually took
Jean to the home of her grandparents,
could not start her car, Jean set out
on foot, not willing to wait until the
car had started. She stepped into a
heavy snow drift, and in pulling out
her feet, her overshoe and shoe re-
manned in the snow. She got out her
shoe and overshoe, but instead of put
ting them on walked the rest of the
way home in her stocking feet. With
prompt first aid given by her uncles
and grandparents, it is expected that
her foot will be saved.

they wrapped the younger children for
the trip through the bitter cold.

heavy ice chisel, he chopped more
than ice. He accidentally chopped his
foot. Ice on his mittens caused the
chisel to slip, SO that two toes of his
right foot were cut off. Mr. Dangers
was rushed from the dangerous place to

members were seWed on.

trucks stopped and weighed for sus-
pected violations, 1,947 lights were
tested, 1877 brake tests were conducted
