CHAPTER SEVEN

AS the station wagon bumped
and jolted over the shally, rock
strewn slope between the highway
and the railroad tracks, Jean sud-
denly screamed and pointed.
Through the dusk the figures OF
several men could be seen leaplng
from the overturned baggage car.
The first one took a look at the
station wagon approaching, then
turned to run for car parked
some distance up the roadbed. The
two others followed, one OF them

Steve was turning the cars search

while he pushed the accelerator tc
the floor.
Look, they've got the mail bag

with fury, and Jean thought for one
terrified instant he was going to
smash the station wagon into the
other car. But he glanced at her
suddenly, as though remembering
she was along. In the next breath
he had slammed on the brakes,
holding cut his arm to keep her
from going through the windshield
with the violent jerk of the stop.

But he was gone, running towaro

made their way toward the over

suddenly a head appeared over the

propped him on one of the station
wagon seats and Steve supported
him while Jean drove to the COM

several of the plant engineers.
BY the time she drew up before
the lighted, shed-like building, the
Mexican trainman h d regalned
consciousness and was being vio-
lently sick. The engineers face
beside her was covered with blood.
He was muttering Spanish oaths
as he wiped it from his eyes with
a ragged forearm. Jeans fastidi-

! escape from the misery, blood and
sickness. She told herself t h y
didn't need her, and turned to tell
Steve she was going to walk to
the village. Then she had a sud-
den glimpse of Steve's jaw clamped
tight with pain as he and the en-
ginee lifted the trainman from the
car.
"Your wrist" she cried, remem-
bering. Don't lift him!" She ran
to the door of the shack and pound
ed on it. A tall, lanky engineer ap-
peared in the lighted opening.

An hour later, Jean stepped back
from the neat bandages she had
wound around Steve's head and
left arm. There. Considering the
handicap I was working under,
think that arm is pretty neat" she
declared, passing trembling

Service Titles
On Formal
Cards
BY MARY BEECkMAN
Authority on Coed Manners

YESTERDAY 1 suggested
various forms OF Christmas

wife who wants 10 include her
husbands name with hers on
their Christmas cards. and who
prefers 20 use their first names
for the informal. personal cards
She Will send 10 her husbands
relatives, her relatives, and 10
their friends.
But what about the wife
whose heart is set on using her
husbands army or navy title
before his name?
Well, it's proper for her TO
do this. But she must realize
that using a title on a card
any title, whether general or
admiral or sergeant or ensign
or private or Mr.. and Mrs.
makes that card a formal card.
She must decide if she really
wants their Christmas cards TO
go formal" if she really wants

must choose formal-looking
cards. not necessarily elaborate.
but necessarily right" CD
This means too that since the
name is TO be formally worded,
the message should be formally
worded,
Here are two examples OF
correct forms:
Sergeant and Mrs. Philip
Strong
send YOU Christmas greetings
and best wishes for the
New Year
or
Philip Lane Strong
Ensign, United States Naval
Reserve
and
Mrs. Strong
send you Christmas greetings
and best wishes for the

either of these forms or
similar forms may be engraved
or printed, or hand-writtenO
informal Name
Remember: II is incorrect TO
use the formal name, imprinted
or written. after an informally
worded message. This makes
sense, since a name al the end
of a letter is signature . &.
and no titles should be used be-
fore a signature.
can example of this incorrect
use is:
