anonymous voice that said, "Crandall if
you're smart cop, you'll get a lapse of men,
ory when certain party comes to trial
Or elser'
That was the first of series of similar calls.
They'd phone when they knew was out on
duty and talk to Ellen, trying to throw scare
into her. But Ellen didn't scare easily.
Mike Cannon is, a murderer, Joe," she
said. Go on fighting him. no matter how
many wires he can pull"
BUD didn't know any of this, naturally.
All he wanted to know was how got Big
Mikes gun away from him. The kid was
jumping out of his skin over my picture in
the papers.
Well. Big Mike had sharp lawyers, and
they tried every trick in the book, but they
couldn't get around my testimony. Mike
Cannon went to Jail for life
Ellen figured that the whole thing was over
and done with. like baseball game, or box
ing match. But wasn't so sure about that.

court, "In fix you for this, Crandall! I'll
fix you good!"

Not for myself, but for Ellen and the boy.
knew Mike Gannon's methods - knew
lot of nasty things could happen, if Cannon
chose to give the word.
Would he give that word? didn't t know
and the uncertainty of watching and waiting
began to get on my nerves.
We lived away out at the end of Saddler's
Road, and saw man in the woods, watching
our house. One day Ellen was driving our old
jalopy, and crazy driver almost ran her into
the ditch. bought watchdog - and the
dog disappeared. didn't know whether it
was just coincidence, or Mike Gannon's hand
reaching out for me.
ANYWAY. l got ratified and jumpy, and
that's how came to lose my Sergeant's
stripes. My Captain, Tom Rodgers, was a
cantankerous old stiffneck, always gripping
over trifes, and one day blew up at him.
Well, that blow-up cost me thirty days sus-
pension and my stripes. I'm not blaming
Rodgers. was in the wrong and if I'd had
any sense I'd have told him why was so
jumpy Rodgers was stickler on trifles, but
on the big things he was good guy
So there was, stripes gone, pay reduced,

the wrong side of Captain Rodgers book.
The only satisfaction l got was thinking
about Mike Cannon, locked away in Lifers'

TNHE day my son Bud got hold of the tin
Il badge. he was month or so short of ten
years old. l thought Bud was the swellest kid
in the world, and Bud thought his dad was
wonderful guy - there was nothing he want
ed out of life but to follow right in my foot
steps. That was the trouble i wanted no
part of that idea.
''You ought to feel proud, Joe," my wife
Ellen said. Its great compliment, when a
boy wants to do what his father does
That's one mistake I'll see he never
makes!" snapped back. ..
This idea of Buds first came to light on his
fifth birthday, when asked him what he
wanted to be when he grew up. Il wanna be
pleeceman, like Daddy" he said quick as
shot.
Ellen, you put him up to that" said, but
my wife shook her head. Its his own idea,
Joe," she said, love shining in her blue eyes
as she rufled the kids dark curly hair.
Remember last Christmas, Joe, how he
kept pointing to the silver star at the top of
the tree, and saying 'badge'?"
Well, it gave us both laugh. You know
how kids are - this week it's cop, next week
fireman. But Bud didn't change I never
heard of a kid so crazy over cop stuff. He had
the cop lingo down pat, and every time
came off duty he'd put me through regular
thrd-degree about the days work.
BUT his special pride was in taking care of
my badge. He'd polish that shield of mine
till thought he'd scrub off the silver plating.
1t seemed to fascinate him. And there wasn't
any reward he priced more than being allowed
to wear my badge for ten minutes.
Sometimes it feels mighty fine to be a hero
to your son, but by the time Bud was going
on ten. didn't think these cop games of his
were funny any more. A lot of things had hap
pened in those five years, and all of them bad.
You see, when Bud was five, I'd been
sergeant, the youngest on the force. with a
good record behind me, and standing No. on
the promotion slate. Lucky Joe" Crandall,
the boys called me. ...
But by the time Bud was nine, was back
in the platoon again, just plain Officer Gran
dali. They'd taken my stripes away, and l
knew I'd never get them back, short of a mir
acle. And all this happened because I'd put
Big Mike Cannon in Rockhill Pen for life.
Mike Cannon had murdered man in cold
blood - Steve Scott, one of my best friends,
fellow I'd gone to school with as boy.
And because I'd tackled Big Mike and that
black AS of his single-handed, got big
write-up in the papers.
But Big Mike had plenty of money, and
all kinds of Connections He was no sooner
