Nt—ibf 4.1M7 IbicLe PfulQ Sau6t A Wide Difference The difference between perse* verance and obstinacy is that one often comes from a strong will and the other from a strong won’t. The increase of knowledge only produces more to wonder about. To make a rooster, the vainest of creatures, run, is the first tri umph of a very small boy. By tourage and holding one’s nose mnch can be accomplished. A gossip makes a mountain out of a molehill and then brings it to you. Sport that is sport only for the onlookers, is not sport. Not All Can Laugh A person with a sandpaper tongue may create more gayety, but he with a velvet one is more comforting. It would be strange if the com pany a man keeps didn’t know him. A man never forgets a snub. That is the reason it does him so much good, by stirring him into action. ADVENTURERS’ CLUB HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSeIfI <«] Escaped Ax-Murderer* 9 By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter H ello everybody: This adventure yarn just proves, once more, that you don’t have to prowl around the African jungles to find thrills. No, sir, you don’t have to be a big game hunter, either, to run across tough spots where you have to do hair- trigger thinking. Why, if Jimmy Hagle, who lives in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, never sees a jungle, well—he will have plenty of adventure to look back upon. Hold on to your chairs, boys and girls. Jimmy Hagle—it’s James Ruthven Hagle now—was twelve years old, back in 1917, when America jumped into the World war. Frances— that’s his sister—was eighteen. Both went to the same schoolhouse. Thanksgiving rolled around and school was dismissed at noon the day before, for the holidays. Jimmy and his schoolmates were leap-frogging home, snowballing and whetting up their Turkey Day appetites. . Siren Meant Convict Had Escaped.

Your husband can’t possibly know how you feel for the simple reason that he Is a man. A three-quarter wife may be no wife at all if she nags her hus band seven days out of every month. For three generations one woman has told another how to go "smil ing through" with Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound. It helps Nature tone up the system, thus lessening the discomforts from the functional disorders which women must endure in the three ordeals of life: 1. Turning from girlhood to womanhood. 2. Pre paring for motherhood. 3. Ap proaching "middle age.” Don't be a three-quarter wife: take LYDIA E.

That meant just one thing to kids and grown-ups In Fort Leavenworth. There were three prisons around that town and when a siren groaned It meant that one or more convicts had es caped. It meant terror to women at home alone. 1 Jimmy and the boy* were too busy with Thanksgiving plans to worry much about the siren’s waiL Escaped convicts wouldn’t bother kids. So they all shivered a little, started snowballing again and romped home. Jimmy neared his house. A strange, black tomcat scurried out of the open coal chute. Jimmy heaved a snowball at it and ran Into the kitchen to sniff of Thanksgiving preparation. Mother and Dad were all dressed up. Big affair up in Kansas City they had to attend. Mother would be back bright and early to fix that turkey. Jimhny and Frances had been tentatively planted with the neighbors for the night “Nix,” said Jimmy. “We’ll stay here. Think we’re afraid?” Well, they did stay. Alone for the first time, the house seemed dark and sinister. The light snow turned into a Kansas blizzard. Rattled doors and windows and howled around the corners. Lights out and twelve-year-old Jimmy lay sleepless, listening to noises of the storm. Memory of that wailing siren came back. Memory, also, of his father’s comment on newspaper articles. Dad had read aloud, before he left, that five convicts—four of them convicted murderers— It Waa the Ax-Murderer, Insane—Desperate. had escaped. One was a maniac murderer, guilty of a triple slaying— butcherer of three persons with a knife and ax. Jimmy tried to think of Thanksgiving. Troubled sleep came at last. He was being shaken. His body tensed. Then, a voice called, “Buddy, I hear a noise in the basement. What do you suppose it is?” Jimmy put on a brave air. “It’s that cat I saw running out He must have come back through the coal chute.” Giant Negro With a Knife. Frances went back to her room. Jimmy’s mind turned again to the siren—the escaped murderers. Ten—fifteen minutes passed. The unmistakable rattle of sliding coal. Clump clump, clump. Footsteps down there, surely. Frances was at his bedside again—trembling. “I can't sleep. You must go down and put that cat out.” Jimmy wasn’t sure at all that it was a cat Cats don’t clump, clump over concrete. But he couldn’t back down before his older sister. Both Jimmy and Frances tiptoed down the cellar steps, turning on the lights. Jimmy first opened the door to the food-storage room. In the dim light he saw nothing unusual Then he threw back the door to the furnace room and entered. He glanced backward to see whether Frances was following him. She was. But behind her, at the door, was a sight that froze the blood of that twelve-year-old lad. A giant negro-bared teeth and bloodshot eyes—was pressing the door shut with his powerful back. Hit right hand was on the knob. His left held a long-bladed knife—a botcher knife. It was the escaped ax murderer—insane—desperate. He was mum bling-gripping the knife convulsively. Jimmy and Frances screamed in chorus. Jimmy thrust his sister behind him. They retreated toward the wall A twelve-year-old boy facing an armed maniac who had fought off armed posses of grim men for days—overpowered prison keepers and escaped. The murderer was weaving stealthily forward, muttering. The knife was hobbling for a thrust. His words were intelligible, now. “They’ll never get me. They’ll never get me,” he repeated. Jimmy’s arms stretched backward to protect his sister. His hands touched something. Dad's tool bench! Good Hammer Throw by Jimmy. The smooth hickory handle of a riveting hammer was in Jimmy’s fingers. Instinctively they closed upon it The convict was still ad vancing. Hardly aiming, Jimmy flung the hammer with his good right baseball arm at the leering face less than six feet away. Blood sported. The heavy hammer had struck the murderer squarely across the bridge of the nose. He sank to his knees, scrambled for a few dated seconds—staggered to his feet. Frances raced for the dark stairway. A black hand seized her flow ing nightgown. Jimmy seized her, literally tore her free. She plunged up the stairway. She fell Jimmy fell across her. Up again. Into the kitchen. The stairs shook with the heavy tread of the killer behind them. They were crossing the dining room—the front door their goal. A thud on the floor. The butcher knife, hurled by the convict, quiv ered in the floor beside Jimmy’s foot. Blood spurted high, ^ut brother and sister plunged on. Frances flung open the door. Out into the blizzard, screams rising over the howl of the storm. Lights flashed on. Jimmy and Frances fell exhausted upon a neigh bor’s porch. Police found marks of the struggle, and giant footprints leading from the Hagles’ front porch. The convict had disappeared in the blizzard. A few nights later, the killer prowled again. He was captured after • desperate battle. Today he is serving, in solitary confinement, the re mainder of his life sentence in the Kansas State prison. C—WNU Service.
