Story Between The Lines
BY ALLAN VAUGHAN ELSTON
DRAGGING BY Sarage

The patients condition was extremely crit

possible ebb.

long ago, | myself attended Mrs. Merrill.
She had the same ailment then. prescribed
certain tonic which helped her consider
ably, My request is that | be allowed TO
prescribe the same tonic again.
An obvious suspicion struck Father
Michael. Since the woman was a relative
of the governors this could be play for
clemency - a side-door entry into the gov
ernor's attention and sympathy
But Dr. Crane alayed the suspicion by
adding quickly: you needn't mention this

to write on?"
The priest produced pencil and tore

will you deliver this to her personally,
Father Michael?"
Father Michael realized, of course, that
DR.. Cranes status as convicted felon en-
tirely nulifed his right to prescribe medi-
cines. On the other hand. the priest was
deeply sensitive to the dignity of con-
demned mans last request. He was not in
the mood to take this one lightly.

A Short Short Story
W7HEN the priest entered the death cell.
w DR.. Crane. the condemned man, had
just finished his last meal. A guard took the
tray away, leaving priest and prisoner alone.
On the cell bench lay a late newspaper; the
condemned man had asked to read the
news accounts of his impending execution
1t was only three hours away now.
And DR.. Crane was ready for it. There
was no question of his guilt, although there
had been extenuating circumstances. He had
already made full and sincere confession
This was Father Mchaels last visit. He
read five verses beginning with the thirty
ninth verse of the twenty-thId chapter
of St. Luke. 1t was the passage he habitu-
ally read for the consolation of the con-
demned. rs there anything more can do

Eyes - there is" Dr. Crane picked up
the newspaper and pointed to an item.
FATHER MICHAEL saw that it was about the
serious illness of Mrs. Martha Merrill She
was woman of social prominence and a
cousin of the states governor Her Illness
the account said took root from chronic
gastric condition which had made her an
invalid for many years The item mentioned
