fus is well aware that he has no
chance to live unless a miracle hap
pens and that miracle may be the
operation. He is the victim of a
fiber obstruction at the neck of

Kidneys" Doctors says that one of
Rufus kidneys has been complete
ly destroyed and that the other is
affected, part of it already ruined.
Little "Nubbins," for whom all
hope had been given up following
his operation several weeks ago at
a Denver hospital, is now on the
way to recovery. Grady doctors feel
that Rufus, who has been under
their care for the past II months,
