CHAPTER FORTY-TWo


LINDA AVERY didn't faint In
the crowded room where she wait
ed with so many witnesses while
Nina Nevins and Sue Alderman
were questioned. BY sheer will
power she pulled herself back from
the pit in which she was sinking.
Robert continued his long dis
lance conversation to California,
talking in that low tone which a
man uses when there are others
near, and his words are intended
for one girl only.
He did not come near Linda as
the testimony went on. and he ex-
cused himself early. She watched
him go, wanting to run after him,
not daring to.
Much could have happened in
these last few hours. Undoubtedly
he had pledged his troth to Billie
Anne. Oh, life's timing sometimes
was so very bad! If only, before
Rob had told her he loved her, she
had realized that she did not love

Through the window of the room
she saw the moon, high and white
and small tonight. Life went on,
forever and forever. And she must
walk with it.
But surely, surely, there would
be way to tell Robert what she
wanted him to know. Only dimly
= she realized that other members
of the prosecutors Office had ar
rived and that Nina Nevins was
being questioned and cross-ques-
toned.
Mina's voice recalled her to the
scene. Yes" she said in full, rich
tones, Il fired the shots. Dor
rowed the gun from Miss Markley.
, Well, not exactly borrowed it. I
did it without her consent. You

and the emeralds cleaned with
mad lights in the dingy room.
) There was something of rever-
ence in the way the officials looked
at Nina, Linda noted. They were
remembering her for scenes in
other years. They were letting a
strong wind blow back the waters
and watching her in old and gall
liant roles. Because she had con-
tributed much OF beauty once upon
! a time they could find 1t in their
hearts to be gentle now.
After all, she is mentally sick

Every employer should arrange
to release every young man in his
employ for sufficient time to reg
lister on October 18th, and it IS
important for them to go in the
morning and not wait until too
late in the day, because there may
be heavy congestion late in the
afternoon, and a long wat would
be rquired.
IT am making requests today to
responsible local officials in tn c
several counties of the state TO
recommend to me men Of high
character, good intelligence a n d
unquestioned integrity to serve on
the local draft boards. There will
be three men on each board and
serve on this board. Only fair
minded, patriotic and intelligent
citizens will be asked to serve.
Every county will have n board
and counties with considerably ov
80, 600 population will have two 9
more boards, dependent upon the
population. The highest number Of
boards for any county will be five
For every local board there
will also be n physician to eN-
anime registrants and one govern
ment appeal agent, preferably a
lawyer. These will likewise serve
without pay. All of this is impor-
tant work. 1t calls for the exer-
else of good judgment, wise dis
erection and absolutely fair deter
mination of the rights of all those
who are involved and the interest
of the whole public.
A position on the local board is
not an office and neither is the
physician or agent; hence a per-
son who holds some position is moi
there by disqualified to serve. All
board members, physicians and
appeal agents must be above Sc
years of age. The local boards will
be allowed to empty clerical as
sistance in the performance OF
their duties and the clerical en-
ployees will be paid.
81 confidently expect North Car
olinians to respond with character
istic patriotism to this call. The
young men who are called f o i
training will give a whole year of
their time for very small compen-
sation. We should be glad to match
our service with theirs, and to-
gether make a vital contribution to
our country's preparedness pro-
gram" 4

Tonic sat in the deep forest. left to
withstand the rigors Of "the Vigil"-the
stern test of seven days and seven
nights alone in the wilderness, which he
must survive to become a hunter. It
was SO dark the Indian boy couldn't see
a foot in any direction, but for tiny
patches of moonlit sky showing through
the dense foliage above.
It seemed that wild hands reached out
from all sides, ready to grab Tonic.
Unseen terrors, he felt, were nearby.
against his unclad flesh. He thought Of
the wigwams in the valley. Their friend-
ship, security and warmth seemed a re-
mote part of life he might know
again.
The nightcalls of birds, even tho
wind, rustling the leaves, sounded men
acing. Tonic started to grope through
the darkness. Sharp twigs and briars
tore at his bare feet and legs. Walking
was fruitless; the whole forest was the
same. Even if he found his way to the
village, it would take days, and lifelong
disgrace would be his for weakening
during the Vigil.
Finally Tonto's ear detected running
water. He made his way painfully to
a fast-Aowing stream. Exhausted, he
sank to its inviting grassy bank and
tried to regain courage and calmness.
From cupped hands, he slipped cool, re-
freshing water, and bathed his aching
legs.
Tonic resolved not to weaken or be
afraid. He was the Chiefs son.. Some
day he must rule the tribe. The woods
and all they held were friends, not enc
mics. Animals, trees, roots and herbs
were of great value to the redmen. Al
ready he had found water, to help fight
off hunger. He had heard of people liv-
ing weeks on water alone. Yes, he must
survive the ordeal. He dreaded, not
death, but failure. His father and
mother would hang their heads in shame
if he, the Chiefs son, proved unable to
survive the test. Repeatedly, he told
himself he would survive.
This first night was the hardest. All
night, his logged will to conquer the
test fought against visions of terror,
fear of the unknown. Tonic may have
dozed. He wasn't sure, but finally the
sky seemed lighter. Eyes closed, he
slowly counted his fingers twenty times.
Yes, the sky was lighter. The first ter
rifying night was past!
As the rising sun warmed him, Tonic
felt cheered. He was hungry, but soon
