more Doc Joe was to explain mat
tiers to the girl, the Judge was to do
likewise for young Cody. And they
were not unduly to stick their noses
into subsequent happenings. LET
nature take its counsel" old King
Cole had chuckled.
And now the Judge and Doc Joe,
having in due course learned that
both Cole Cody and Ann Lee were
on the stage, were faithfully if ir-
reverently carrying out orders.
Thus, while Doc Joe was expound-
ing to a round-eyed, breathless girl
and her quietly attentive Aunt Jeni-
fer in one room of the Bald Eagle
Hotel, the Judge was letting head
and ears of the cat out of the bag
for the astounding of William Cole
Cody in another room.
"And that's the way of it." con-
Guided Doc Joe, glad to be at the
end of the crazy business, and
opened a carpet-bag at his feet, took
from it an old iron box from which
long ago the black paint had scaled,
and set it down on Miss Ann Lees
knees.
"But-but-" the girl sputtered. 81
can't understand it! This Mr.. Early
Bill Cole you are talking about
Why, I don't know him! / never
saw him even, in my life! I never
heard of him! Of course, Doctor,
there is some mistake. 1t must be
some other girl-some other girl,
maybe, named Lee. Maybe even
named"
''There may be lot of mistakes
in this whole DEAL" the old doctor
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1942-12-31

grunted, "but that's not one of them.
You're the girl all right = Say,
haven't you got the key!"
"The key! Why, of course
have!" She jumped up, the box in
her hands, and ran to the walnut
bureau; she pulled anS tugged un-
til she got the lop-sided top drawer
open and extracted her purse. Here
is the key! He sent it to me with a
letter that made me terribly Gu
rious, saying some things, half-say-
ing some, leaving out the things
was dying to know!"
"That would be old Early Bill for
you," said Doc Joe tartly. "And !
reckon that's the key all right. You
might try it."
She got the key in one of the
locks. 1t fitted! 1t turned easily.
cit is the right keyl" she ex-
claimed, and tried it in the other
lock. She withdrew the key, looked
at it, stopped over the box again,
tossing her head impatiently to
throw the hair back from falling
over her eyes. Something's the
matter with the crazy thing" she
said, baffied. ''Will you try it, Doc
tor?"
He shook his head. "No use, Miss
Ann. One thing I didn't tell you.
Your key fits only one of the two
locks. There's another key. IT.
ahem!-it's being kept by someone
else. A man that old Early Bill
trusted it to. You can't open your
box until he shows up"
why, isn't that funny! Who is this
man? Is he here in Bald Eagle?
When will he give me the other
key?"
Doc Joe was already edging to-
ward the door.
"You take mighty good care of
that box, Miss Ann" he said hur-
riedly. "Just you remember that
it's worth power of money! The
whole King Cole Ranch is in there
and a heap of gold and greenbacks
besides! Just you take mighty good
care of it, Miss Ann. And now, good
night to you, Miss. And to you also,
Miss Jenifer," he said, and ducked
out and fled.
And in that other room under the
same roof the Judge had finished
imparting to young Cody all the
facts in the case which he had been
authorized to make fairly clear. Co
dy had heard him out in silence, his
eyes dark between narrowed lids, his
face stilled to expressionlessness.
And when the Judge, too, grew ST.
lent Cody still sat on moment or
two, bordering.
Thanks, Judge" he said. 81
guess that's all you've got to tell
me? Wouldn't do much good to start
asking questions?"
The Judge rather liked him for
that.

Christening Ships

In ancient times when a new
ship was launched the libation Cor
pouring of wine) was practiced,
consecrating the ship to the god
whose image she bore. The &C
ton of blessing ships is alluded to
by the monks of st. Denys, and
records of ship christenings are
found as far back as 1418, when
the bishop of Bangor was sent
to Southampton, England, to bless
the kings ships for successful voy-
ages.
October 20, 1897, the Constitu-
ton, first United States navy ship
launched, was christened by an
officer who broke a bottle of wine
over her prov.
Champagne is used because it
is rare and expensive wine and
suitable, therefore, for such an
important occasion.

Shot Out of World

Scientists believe that if a rifle
bullet could be fired upward at a
muzzle velocity of seven miles a
second, it would pass out of the
atmosphere and never return to
the earth, says Golfers. Such
speed is not inconceivable be-
cause, for example, the wave of a
nitroglycerin explosion starts at
the rate of five miles a second.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS
I'D you know that thou

II >
men are being saved by
transfusions of the blood sent
out TO the battle fronts by their
friends at home?
In the horror of this war could
there be a more wonderful note
of sympathy and comradeship
than this, that the life that runs
so secure and safe and warm in
your veins should be shared
with some great fallen giant of
a boy, who lies white and I'M
conscious in a faraway hos
pital, breathing quietly low
er and lower toward death,
until the help that YOU send him,
from your quiet home town, begins
to flow in his veins again?
Surely all modern science has
given us no greater miracle; that
those of us who cannot wear uni
forms and sail away on the great
ships can have our actual living part
in the great struggle, through the
plasma-the technical name of the
fluid part of the blood-which is
dried and sent to our sons.
But you haven't contributed yet?
Why, what do you mean? You have
been hearing about it and reading
about it, but somehow you didn't
ever clearly get it into your head
what it was all about, you didn't
get round to it?
Well, then, put this paper down
and go telephone Mary Brown, who
is one of the higher-ups in the Red
Cross. Ask her where the Blood
Bank is. And 60 there tomorrow.
Go there, by appointment, of
course, four hours after you've eat
en- hearty, normal meal. Drink
all you want of water and fruit juice
in between the meal and going to the
Blood Bank, no rich drinks or milk.
A Pint of Blood.
They prick your arm, at the Blood
Bank, and draw off a pint of the
blood that means life for some moth
er's son. Perhaps yours. And that
initial prick is all you pay in pain
for this experience, and that hour of
going and coming is all you pay in
time. After the blood is taken they
give you hot drink and a sand
wich, and that's all you do for two
or three months, when you do it all
over again.
The blood is evaporated, packed
off 20 the far-fung hospitals of the
war fronts, and-as surgeon-doctor
told me, when he came back from
Australia few weeks ago, "just the
knowledge that it is there, plenty
of it, means the difference between
life and death to the DOCTORS" They
mix this plasma with water, and pour
it into the draining veins of the
heroes who are brought in white and
unconscious; and the color comes
back to those ashen cheeks, and the
boy opens his eyes and perhaps NUT
tiers surprised whats cooking?"
Yet know one eastern city in
which three hundred thousand per-
fectly strong and healthy men and
women between the ages of Is and
60 are going about, placidly uncon-
scious that there are such things as
Blood Banks. Many of these good
folk are the ones who continually
say "My dear, I'd be delighted to
do something for our men, God
knows, but with two boys in school
and Harry working so hard, there
doesn't seem to be one thing I can
dol"
So They Need Not Die.
Recently a cargo ship sailed with
medical supplies from this same
city, the invoice of what was re-
CURED being fully checked except
in one particular. Where the item,
$50 many pounds of plasma" was

That meant that if that life-giving
fluid was destined for the veins of
one thousand magnificent boys, lying
wounded and faint and bleeding in
naval, marine and army hospitals,
six hundred and ten would die. Would
be condemned to death by you, and
your neighbors, and the kids in the
nearest college, and the healthy, JOY
Gus young things who are f1ocking to

Now, if you have any influence with
women at all, if you belong to a club
or teach in school or if your
daughter goes off every day to work
In factory or office with scores of
men and women associates, appoint
yourself committee of one to get
this message over to them. For this
is the great modern miracle, that
thousands of the men who die in
base hospitals, NEED NOT DIE, and
we can save them.
When you have contributed your
pint of blood to the cause, you get
a little pin. When you have visited
the Blood Bank three times you have
a special decoration. And it seems
to me that there is no young person
in our great country who ought not
be ashamed to express ignorance
of and Indifference to the Blood
Bank, and none who will not be
proud to wear that decoration.
If were within those stipulated
years would want to be the first
OF my group to wear it, and if I
were a soldiers wife or young girl
| would want to have that third-time
decoration to show to my husband or
my sweetheart when he came home
from the war.
One quiet, big, heavy man in our
little town, man burdened with
the support of a beloved wife, an
invalided child, an old mother and
a baby son-an unassuming man
who goes to an office every day,
faces changing times and war taxes
and restrictions with a good deal of
humor, never complains-has seven
times given his blood to men he
will never see or know, men from
whom he can never receive any
thanks.
Back to Life.
This is real quotation from a
real letter by boy of %, sent after
the Wake Island fight to mother in
our town.
when they threw me a rope I'd
only been in the water about IS min
utes, but was all mucked-up with
heavy black oil and through the
oil / could see the blood from my
shoulder pulsing out the way a wave
would, coming up through a hole
in rock and trimming over, and
then sinking back again. It was the
darndest thing you ever saw!
"a few days later, when 1 was sit
ting up, asked the doctor what had
happened, and he grinned at me and
said: Some of your friends at
home, Bud, stopped talking about
what they'd LIKE to do, and gave
you back your life.'"
Before they got me on board I
tainted, so / guess was pretty near
gone, but someone wiped me off
with towel and got me into bed,
and I'd come out of it for a minute,
and sink off again. I thought I was
in black pit, going down, down,
down, and I knew that when I hit
the bottom it was curtains for me.
But each time, just as I got way
down, I'd start slowly up.
II was going down one of those
times when suddenly I stopped in
this black elevator shaft. whatever
it was, and started up, and started
up good and fast, too"

CROSBY CLICKS
 IN 5 36-21 WIN OVER W|LBY|TES
Schofeld Squad Is far Superior; Naugatuck
 Gains Great Victory

Plenty of hoop trouble looms for Naugatuck Wednesday night when a well-drilled group of Crosby high school ball-handlers goes to the borough for its first game of the sea- son with Pete Foley's charges fol- lowing most decisive 36 to 21 win over Wilby Saturday night that not only gave Crosby a 10 point piece" of the Al Kellie Memorial trophy, but more than avenged its football defeat of last November when the clock robbed the Schofielders of a possible win with the ball on the two yard line.
 Crosby was so much better than Wilby Saturday night that there is no room for comparison, the IS point difference in the score hardly indicating the full measure of su- periority that one team enjoyed over the other. Wilby played sub-gram- mar-school basketball not only pass ing and shooting badly, but trying impossible shots, dropping passes and avoiding the territory under the hoops as though it was the forbid den tree in the Garden of Eden.
 Wilby's defensive task, prior to the game was as plain as the soup stains on Al Weill's vest. The big idea was, of course, to stop Crosby's co-cap- tains Albie Kelly and Artie Fisher. So Kelly got IA points, Fisher got IS, eight more than the entire Wilby squad. Belanger, Reynolds and Bou- cher were in there with some nice all-handling and passing in Cros- bys behalf, and though the game was fairly close the first half Is to g, the Wildcats were never "in" the ball game after the first few minutes.
