Soapy shouted,

"Ride!" he shouted. Hey, you, ride. But the
cars didn't stop; they were travelling toe fast
and their drivers were too occupied trying to
avoid collisions. For few minutes there was
continuous stream of them and Soapy shouted
until he was hoarse Then suddenly there wasn't
a car in sight. The town had never seemed so
empty.
He sat on the curb and put his camera down
beside him. Well, it didn't make much differ
ence now whether everything was in focus or
not His black thoughts were pierced by noise
that sounded like couple of ashcans falling off
a truck Mr.. Branwal's old model T was
approaching.
Soapy jumped up. Ride! Ride!'
The car jerked to stop and MIR. Branwall,
the owner of the camera shop. called, Hop
in. Thought I'd go out to the fire.
Soapy climbed in and slammed the door.
"Where's your camera? Aren't you going to
take any pictures?"
MIR. Branwall shook his head. IF Id been
after pictures I'd have gone out "a long time
before this. Soapy gulped But if we get there
in time" Branwall continued, "11l show you
how to use that box of yours. used to be pretty
good at fire pictures in the old days when was
with the New York World.
IoLLY! Thanks! Boy, sure hope it keeps
burning, don't you? If only the hose apparatus
will bust or something"
The photographer grinned. What you better
hope is that this rattletrap holds together long
enough to get us there"
There was loud bang as the model T ac-
cepted this challenge. 1t was followed by long
series of spluttering coughs. Mr.. Branwall
showed down the throttle. There she goes,
he said. Its the gas line gets clogged up
with rust"
Can can you fix herr
Don't know Well have try, though"
While Mr.. Bramwall worked, he told Soapy
about his life as a news photographer. 1t was
exciting, but it was salt on the wounds of Soapy.
Fires, things like that" he explained, they
have real news value and I'm not saying they
haven't, but the really great photographer is
the one who gets pictures the other fellow never
thinks of. remember time about sixteen
years ago"
Soapy paid no attention. A car had just gone
by, heading back to town. Well, that was that.
1t meant the fire was over
Mr.. Branwall said, 'Ha! Just what thought.
Full of rust" Soapy nodded sadly, his mind
concerned with bigger things than rust. He'd
seen passing couple in midget roadster who

Then she put her hand on the car and her foot
on the running board - just like girl in an
advertisement.
Harry nodded to him. ''How's it happen you
didn't go to Galesville to the ball game? Al
ways thought you were quite an Old School,
boy" He laughed and turned back to Sally.
Soapy tried hard to think of something
brilliant to say. He grumbled. Il dunno; didn't
feel like it guess, 4" and kicked an apple core
off the sidewalk. well, guess I'll 60 pick up

"In. a minute" she said. "You 60 ahead"
Soapy saw Harry Garfield smile. Gosh! he
thought. Gee whiz! If anybody ever catches

Miss Smith, the postmistress, handed out
letter for his mother then nodded towards the
bulletin board on the far wall: "You can have

Daily cancellation Of its scheduled

Manor had reserved the dates of May

the J. Webster Manning Trophy,
which has been played on odd years
since 1929, when Miller B. Stevenson

Manor may hold a tournament In
the fall with an entry fee.
The Chevy Chase tournament is
scheduled for May II, Is and 10, and
month later the Middle Atlantic
title tourney will be played over the
same course.
Most Of our members felt we
should not hold the same type of
tournament we have held in past
years" said Daily. I'VE would like
to hold a tournament, but we have
so much play in May the question
Of giving over the course for five or
six days also was considered. If we
hold tournament in the fall-and
that hasn't been decided-it will
probably be an entry fee affair"
Harry Pitt, golf chairman at
Manor, took a poll of the golfing
membership on the May tourney,
dates for which were reserved at
the annual meeting of the District
Golf Association on February 6.
Booms Mid Atlantic Event.
Manor's withdrawal also centers
attention on the mid-Atlantic States

Heather Reveller of Sporran? The
chances are that = great many more
could answer the last question than

without the preceding three, who
were in reality only one, the last
named probably never would have
attained his fame.
Wright was a staid college pro-

Va; bookish editor and an esthete.
In addition to all these, he also was
prime maker of mysteries and re-
later of detective stories.
Philo Vance was his creature, his

solved gruesome murder cases.

Vance and S. S. Van Dine perished

since been banished to the kennel

glory, when he was not only the

|MANTOUX TESTS TO.
BE GIVEN PUPILS
TEST MADE POSSIBLE
HERE FEBRUARY 6 BY
CHRISTMAS SEALS

Mantoux tests for tuberculosis
will be given all pupils of Red
wood Falls junior and senior high
schools and a few from the grades
the week of February 6.
The survey is a Christmas seal
project, sponsored here by the
PTA and arranged by the physi-
cal education department.
Positive reaction to the test is
no cause for alarm, health author
tiles point out The majority of
reactors show no sign of the dis
ease upon x-ray examination, the
follow-up when evidences of tub
erculosis are shown in tests.
The Mantoux test is simple and
harmless, according to a bulletin
of the Minnesota Public Health
association. A drop of liquid
called tuberculin is applied in the
upper surface of the skin, usual
ly on the forearm. If the spot
becomes red and slightly swollen
within two or three days it means
there is evidence of tuberculosis
germs somewhere in the body.
Children must have their par
ent's or guardians written con-
sen to take the tests. Adults wish
ing further information on the
subject may contact Gladys Bos-
from or Charles Wallblom of the
physical education department
here.
