CHAPTER FORTY


Aggie shot the bolt He pushed
the door open. Ahead was a long,
downsloping passage. He followed
1t for q hundred yards. Its walls
became rock. Cut in the wall, at
that point, was a door; and on the
door, another new bolt, as well as
4 heavy beam. He lifted the beam
and slid the bolt. This door opened
out.
Behind II was a chamber. The
walls were rock. Ends Of freshly
broken roots spiked the ceiling.
From somewhere inside came CUR
Cling Of water.
Aggie's torch, moving across the
floor, touched a heap Of opened tin
cans and an old chair-and held for
. moment on the opposite corner
where a pool Of water flowed slowly
out Of sight in . cavern no more
than q foot high. The air in the
place was tinged with a chemical
smell. but it was not foul.
Mr.. Bogartyl" doomed Aggie.
There was no answer. He stepped
into the room and moved his light,
Then he held it very still. Stretched
out on the foor-raggedly bearded
and in filthy clothes-lay a man,
At his side was a pail set on two
stones and under 1t was an empty
solidifed-alcohol can. The man did
not look like the Hank Bogarty of
the photographs Aggie had seen
but it was Hank. Aggie thought for
q moment that he was dead.
Aggie knelt and took the mans
wrist Hanks pulse was feeble. He
had been there, Aggie thought, for
weeks-supplied with food by his
eaptor-and with canned heat, for
cooking it There was a mound of
candle grease on the ground near
by. Aggie thought, for q moment,
that exhaustion - fear - fury -
shock-had Frustrated Hank. Then
he saw the real reason.
Hanks head lolled. On the side
Of it, toward the back, was a sa~
age wound that had not healed
The wound was infected. Reddish
streaks ran into Hanks scalp and
down his neck.
Aggis considered two courses !:
Hank was a heavy man-and I'M
conscious. To take him out would
be . tremendous task-and a rough
journey for the sick man. To leave
him might mean that his captor
would check up on the prisoner
and see the hole in the bricked win
dow. Aggie knew enough about
HAnk's eAptor 10 shudder.
Then, taking a deep breath, Plum
rolled Hank on his face, wormed
underneath him, wrapped his right
arm around . thigh and seized a
wrist with his right hand. He picked
up his light with his left hand and
lifted nightly.
Aggis went back up the passage
at q running walk. He climbed the
steps swiftly. To lift Hank up and
into the old window seemed at first
impossible. Then Aggie saw he
could do it by removing more bricks.
He worked with frenzy. The radio
overhead vas still going-the feet

Literary Round
Table Of
Won1an's Club

1.-THE Eanperor's Physician by
Perkins, was the book reviewed by
Mrs. Fred Gilmore for the members
of the Literary Round Table of the
Nogales Woman's Club Friday after
noon at her home on Anza Drive.
Dealing with a Roman physician,
Sergius Cumanus, whose path was
often crossed by that of a Healer
of Nazarene, and a young Jewish
physician named Luke, the book
portrays a vivid picture of the time
of Christ's ministrations and cross
section of social strata in the
mighty Roman Empire.
Mrs. Gilmore's report was made
to an appreciative group, and was
followed by general round table dis
cussion. Next meeting of the group
will be with Mrs. George B. Parks.

CTS, the scene was comparable to that of the Gold Rush
 Clerks at fish counters were also saying "No" far more often than "Yes". There was no halibut, no salmon, no lobster, no steamers, no open oysters.
 What No Bags!
 Though tired and nervous clerks everywhere said they'd like to learn another way to say No, we haven't any," they admitted customers took their disappointments very well.
 A blonde clerk, who was evidently striving hard to please, reported she was experiencing one great difficulty which was really getting her down. Bags Is my trouble. They just won't believe we ain't got bags. And they get 50 mad". She did admit, however, that in due time the customer got the point. Of course, there were the cranks with plenty of guff", but then "ya take 1t the way they give it," she said with deep sigh and shrug of the shoulders.
 A philosophical manager of a large store who was helping on the floor during the rush hours yester- day observed that human beings can get used to anything. Though the buying public, accustomed to plentiful markets, was severely cen- serious during the early days of war when products were unobtainable, he said order has been created by customers, clerks, and Shopkeepers each giving a little" And when I say that I mean it," he emphasized Do you know what did this morn- ing? l cleaned the mems room. It's God truth--I tell you did".
 But though the buying public and the storekeeper and his staff have experienced untold strain during the years of war, the veteran store keeper declared the silver lining is becoming discernible. For all the hardships we've all endured" he said. q think we're going to be a better people-though we won't live as long"

 Continuing, he said. if only the folks back home could visit these hospitals, I'd bet you ten to one they would never kick again about being butterleSs. meatless or gaSlesS.
 You should see. he goes tn to say, these armless and legleSs lads. You cant wipe the smiles of their faces. They never squawk about their mis- fortunes as much as some at home who can't get enough gasoline to go to horse race.

 POOR CONDITION

Waterbury's streets are In very bad condition as result of the un- usually severe winter, Supt. of Streets Herbert Scott-Smith said last night. Motorists travelling over East Main street are jostled as their cars bounce over holes and in few instances, complaints have been made of broken springs.
 A motorist driving on West Main street struck puddle" and broke a spring. Other sections of the city are similarly affected with chunks of asphalt ripped out and heavy paving blocks torn loose.
 Yesterday four department trucks were used in sand patching of the larger openings in the pavement. As soon as conditions permit repairs of more permanent nature will be made.

 The infantrymen I lived with hadn't had shave or a shower in weeks. They had been so busy con- taining the counter attack that they could not take time to go into the rear lines for a rest.
