Could he have gone far after that hap

"Oh. yes, it's quite possible. A mortally
wounded man has been known to pick himself
up and walk along street as though nothing
had happened. and then suddenly collapse

been shot in the church. Oh. no. He may

FIRST OF TWO PARTS

TlHE Wears wife came round the corner of
Il the Vicarage with her arms full of chrys-
anthemums. A good deal of rich garden soil
was attached to her strong brogue shoes and
few fragments of earth were adhering to
her nose, but of that fact she was perfectly
unconscious.
She had slight struggle in opening the
Vicarage gate which hung. rustily, half off its
hinges A puff Of wind caught at her battered
felt hat, causing it to sit even more rakishly
than it had done before. "Botherw said Bunch.
Christened by her optimistic parents Diana.
Mrs. Harmon had become Bunch at an early
age for somewhat obvious reasons and the
name had stuck to her ever since Clutching
the chrysanthemums. she made her way
through the gate to the churchyard, and so to
the church door.
The November air was mild and damp
Clouds scudded across the sky with patches of
blue here and there Inside, the church was
dark and cold; it was unheated except at
service times
"Brrrrhr' said Bunch expressively. I'D
better get on with this quickly. don't want
to die of cold"
With the quickness born Of practice she
collected the necessary paraphernalia: vases.
water, flower holders. Il wish we had lilies,
thought Bunch to herself. Il get so tired of
these scraggy chrysanthemums. Her nimble
fingers arranged the blooms in their holders.
HERE was nothing particularly original or
artistic about the decorations, for Bunch Har-
mon herself was neither original nor artistic,
but it was homely and pleasant arrange
ment Carrying the vases carefully. Bunch
stepped up the aisle and made her way toward
the altar As she did so the sun came out.
1t shone through the East window of some
what crude colored glass, mostly blue and red
- the gift of wealthy Victorian churchgoer.
The effect was almost startling in its sudden
opulence. Like jewels" thought Bunch.
Suddenly she stopped. staring ahead Of her.
On the chancel steps was a huddled dark form.
Putting down the flowers carefully. Bunch
went up to it and bent over it. 1t was man

thought that the man was dying
He was man of about forty-five, dressed
in dark. shabby suit. She laid down the
limp hand she had picked up and looked at
his other hand. This seemed clenched like
fist on his breast. Looking more closely she
saw that the fingers were closed over what
seemed to be large wad or handkerchief
which he was holding tightly to his chest. ALI,
round the clenched hand there were splashes
of dry brown fluid which. Bunch guessed,
was dry blood. Bunch sat back on her heels.

he said:
Sanctuary"
There was. she thought. just a very faint
smile as he breathed out this word. There was
no mistaking it. for after moment, he said
it again. Sanctuary. -
Then, with faint, long drawn-out sigh. his
eyes closed again. Once more Bunch's fingers
went to his pulse. It was still there, but
fainter now and more intermittent. She got
up with decision.
Don't move. she said. ''or try to move.

The mans eyes opened again but he seemed
now to be fixing his attention on the colored
light that came through the East window. He
murmured something that Bunch could not
quite catch. She thought. startled. that it
might have been her husbands name.

math of the 1852 fight between
Taft and Eisenhower factions of
the G. o. p. will be felt this
year.
They note that the Governor

of 855,282 cast for the major
parties. Another $4,000 went to
the Socialist candidate. They
claim unemployment and the
national trend" will defeat him
this year.
Lodge Former Actor.
Gov. Lodge himself gives no
indication of undue anxiety. He
is big. wiry, a man of imposing
presence. He was once a movie
actor and the Democrats do not
discount his political appeal to
the feminine vote. During
Warld War II. he was in the
Navy, saw considerable action,
came out with some glittering
decorations.
His 51st birthday is today and
President Eisenhower is sched-
uled to cut the cake at a Hart
ford party-an event Republi-
cans hope will contribute to the
Governors drive.
Campaigning on his record,
Gov. Lodge tells audiences, II
don't claim that everything is
perfect. but" Then he goes
on to recite what he has done.
He makes claim to having held
down the costs of government,
points out that Connecticut has
the highest income. per family,
in the Nation.
His wife. the former Francesca
Braggiotti, campaigns hard for
him. Blond and vivacious, she
frequently speaks her native
Italian to audiences of Italian
origin.
Republicans now hold five of
the States six Congressional
seats. Democrats say that, if
they elect Mr.. Ribicoff, they also
will win at least four seats. The
Republicans say they expect to
hold all five, but do not predict
they can carry the Democratic
1st District, which consists of
Hartford County, largely indus

former Representative Abraham
A. Ribicoff, Democrat.
Both express confidence, but
their campaign lieutenants are
running scared. Some neutral
observers see Gov. Lodge leading
at this point. Others, noting
that Maine elected a Democratic
Governor for the first time in 20
years. believe New England is ex-
periencing q Democratic trend"
which could carry Mr.. Ribicoff
to Office.
In neighboring Rhode Island,
the Democrats hold the Gov
ernor's Office, both Senate seats
and both in the House of Rep
resentatives. Political observers
expect them to win all major
contests next month.
In Connecticut, the campaign
so far is almost Chesterfieldian,
high level, devoid of personali-
ties, name-calling, or rough stuff.
Appearing together in New
Haven recently-but not in the
formal Of a debate-it was my
good friend, Abe" and "our re-
spected Governor with whom I
had the honor of serving in
Washington" and so on.
Nor have they produced any
red-hot issues.
Campaigns on Record.
Gov. Lodge is campaigning
primarily on his four year
record.
Mr.. Ribicoff's emphasis is not
an attack on this record. 1t is
a program based on economic
growth. moral vision. admins
trative efficiency"
Unemployment, loss of over
time and economic conditions
are factors in Connecticut
as they are in other New
England States. Mr.. Ribi-
coff says there are $4,000 job |
less. If true, this would be more |
than per cent of the maximum
working force-higher than the |
national average.
But Gov. Lodge says the figure !
is $4,000, contrasting with 1OO,- !
900 in 1949. And he adds that
in nine years, 81 industries left |
the State while more than 1900 !
came in to locate.
They also have traded a few
shots over roads. a development
commission, and charges to
patients in State health institu-
tions. But so far, the campaign
has been more like a discussion
between executives than battle
between political opponents.
Mr.. Ribicoff says he has never
conducted any other type OF
campaign and that this positive
has brought victory
every time except in 1852 when
he ran for the United States
Senate. He lost then to Senator
Prescott Bush, Republican, by
about $4,000 votes. Although oe-
feated then, he ran nearly 50,-
BOO votes ahead of Adlai E. Ste !
venson, the Democratic presi- I
Dental candidate.
Was Representative.
Before that, he was twice
elected to Congress. His district. ,
the 1st, is heavily Democratic q,
and gave him substantial plurali-
