CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
One hour after he had started
his gruesome midnight rites there
in the lonely northwoods cabin. DR..
Peter Leonard had finished.
He had torn strips of bandages
from some Of the clothing he had
found. Fortunately he always car
ried sterile gauze and cotton with
him.
He put Mark back on the bed.
He cleared away all the evidence
OF the operation. And then he
listened through his stethescope
to his patients heart.
Satisfaction
What he heard sent a queer
look Of satisfaction across the sur
geon's face. He covered his pa
tient carefully and then sat down
at the side OF the bed.
With trembling hands DIR. Leon
ard rolled and smoked one cigaret
after another. His mind was
travelling back into grooves of the
past almost . quarter of a CEN
fury before.
He'd been 20 young and eager
when he got out of medical school.
He meant to conquer the world.
to develop treatment and tech
nique that would bring patients
who were close to the brink of
eternity back to enjoy more years
OF life with their families.
But life hadn't been very good
to DR.. Leonard. It had hurt him
at every turn.
There had come more than a
year Of surgery at the front with
an operating shift of more hours
In a stretch than any human
being is ever made to endure.
They put patients through the
mill as automatically as though
they weren't human beings at all
young men with sweethearts.
wives or mothers waiting and
praying for their safe return.
Hour upon hour of this grueling
business and then a few hours of
sleep snatched where he could take

Years of Happiness
After that horrible year at the
front had followed another two
years in base hospitals, cutting and
stitching and repairing the effects
of war.
Finally Peter Leonard had come
home. Grace was waiting. She
had told him she would be waiting
and she kept her promise. There
followed years of happiness.
But life had not yet exacted its
full toll from Peter Leonard.
There'd been young Peter. He
was IL the very day he rode his
red bicycle straight into the path
of an oncoming truck.
And none of his fathers skill
nor his mothers prayers could
save him to laughter and life and
happiness.
After that, there'd been Grace
and big Peter going on together
in a home that suddenly seemed
empty Of all happiness.
Grace had been a brick. She
kept up her clubs. She kept up
her interests. She encouraged
Peter in his research and in the
ambitions of his profession.
That is-she had encouraged him
until the day she came to him with
worried look in her steadfast
gray eyes.
There's something wrong,
here" and she had shown him

slender column of her white neck.

Some is to 20 percent OF our
population will observe Lent in some

Having been recognized for years
as possessing keen political acumen,
it was only natural that Senator
George l.. Radcliffe should select
Edward j. Colgan, Jr., to manage
his campaign for reelection to the
United States Senate.
Following on the heels of his ap-
pointment as manager Senator Col
gan, who served in the Maryland
State Senate from 1925 to 1880,
opened campaign headquarters in the
Lord Baltimore Hotel.
Friends interested in the reelec-
ton of Senator Radcliffe point with
considerable pride to the effort he
and Senator Colgan achieved in the
reelection of Senator Willard E.
Tydings to the Senate in 1888. In the
Tydings campaign Senator Radcliffe
was State manager and Senator
Colgan City manager.
Between them Senator Tydings
was swept back into the Senate with
the greatest majority ever accorded
any candidate in the history of
Maryland politics. The majority prac-
,tically touched 100000.
Having been born and reared in
Hartford county, Senator Colgan
didn't come to Baltimore until 1901.
Always interested in the Democratic
party he did not become actively en-
gagged in politics until he played a
prominent part in the election of J..
Barry Mahool as mayor of Baltimore
in 1907. During that time he was
connected with the law firm of Will
lis, Homer, France and Smith.
James H. Preston named Senator
Colgan as Assistant City Solicitor
during his two terms in the mayors
chair. The experience thereby gain
ed in the solicitors Office was re-
sponsible for Senator Colgan becom-
ing the author of several publications
Of legal matters, and he is known
as an authority on municipal law.
Being an able speaker the late
Governor Richie engaged Senator
Colgan to supervise his speakers
committee in his campaign that
eventually led him to the governors
chair at Annapolis. Senator Colgan
was among the delegates that repre-
scented Maryland at the Democratic
National Convention at San Fran
cisco in 1920.
Then following Senator Colgan's
election to the Maryland State Senate
from the Third city district. He is
past president of the Bar Association
of Baltimore City, having held the
office in 1880.
Senator Colgan was among the
first Roosevelt Men" in 1882, and
again he backed the President in
1886.

the Maryland Unemployment Com
