((AND SHOULD you encounter
** this man, exercise care.
He’s dangerous. Any further news
that comes in will . .
Jerry Anderson snapped off the
radio. He’d heard the particulars
of the brutal strangulation of Mrs.
Prescott and the description of
the suspect several times this eve
ning. After that wordy, unlovely
portrait of the man, he felt that
even he would recognize him If he
ever contacted him, but he hoped
that he wouldn’t Jerry was no
coward, but . . .
. * •
After Jerry’s recent discharge
from the hospital, he decided that
he wanted to live out at the cot
tage while making his plans for
the future. His family objected,
not without cause, and it wasn’t
until old Doc Crowder, the family
friend and physician, convinced
them that it would be a good
thing for Jerry to do under the
circumstances, that they finally
yielded to his wishes. Jerry had
spent every summer of his life
there, until his enlistment, and he
loved the old place.
So, when his mother and Lucy
reluctantly left him this after
noon, he was glad. Not that he did
not appreciate the things which
they had been doing for him, but
he wanted to be on his own. He
had plans to make and this change
and the quiet that he would have
would be perfect. He had tried,
during his month at home, to
apply his own "self-reasoning’’
method, but to little avail. He
felt confident that it could be tested
properly by facing his problems
independently.
• * •
Jerry sat near the window for
quite some time trying to make
a start at some of that "self-
reasoning,’’ but his mind kept re
verting to the broadcast he had
heard earlier. If the woman only
had had a gun, he thought. She
probably would have been afraid
to use it, though; most women
were. He thought of the empty
Luger in his bag and wished that
he could have tried again to get
some ammunition for it. He loved
that gun, a gift from one of his
buddies who had not come back.
Jerry went Into the bedroom and
took the gun from his bag. He
fondled it and then slipped it into
his pocket. He smiled when he
realized just how foolish that was.
He came back to his chair and
then lit his pipe.
He had been sitting there for
just a few minutes when, sud
denly, he heard the back door
being opened, and then the click
of the light switch. He sat still,
wondering who it could be, a
dozen thoughts chasing through
his mind. He felt the useless
gun in his pocket and took it
ont, gripping it firmly. Now, If
ever, he could test himself on
several of the things which he
had learned during his rehabili
tation.
In less than a minute, it seemed,
he heard the ice-box door being
opened, and a low chuckle come
from the intruder. Then he heard
things being put on the table. He
knew that whoever was in the
kitchen seemed sure of himself.
He must know, he thought, that
even with the whole house lighted,
it was practically impossible to
see in from any side.
The minutes dragged while he
listened to the man eating and
drinking. From the noise he was
making, slamming the ice-box
door and moving his chair, the man
undoubtedly thought that he was
alone. Perhaps he had seen Lucy
and her mother leave hours before
and had waited for darkness to
come.
After what had seemed an hour,
he heard the man get up from the
table and walk toward the hall
which led into the living room.
Jerry knew that his safety de
pended upon what he would be
able to do within the next few
minutes. It wasn’t a very pleas
ant spot to be in, but ...
He thought of the broadcaster’s
remark, that the killer had not
used a car, and that it was sus
pected that he was making a get
away by the county back-roads
and woods. This could be the man.
For as long as he could remember,
no ordinary tramp had ever stray
ed so far away from the main
highway. He must have come
upon the house by accident
When Jerry heard a hand mov
ing along the wall groping for a
light-switch, he stood up and
pointed the gun toward the door.
Then it happened—the living
room light was snapped on. He
heard a hoarse cry of surprise.
The man’s breathing was heavy
as he stood motionless, facing the
gun. He had a fear that Jerry
could sense was genuine.
"Get ’em up! Who are you and
what do you want?’’ Jerry was an
officer in the infantry again as he
made the demand.
The man was shaking when he
spoke, “You’re a cool one, brother.
Put that gun down, please, before
you hurt somebody.” He took a
step forward, and Jerry raised the
gun and moved it slightly {rom
side to side. Looking toward the
man, Jerry was not sure of what
he should do next. Then all the
admonitions of his teachers came
back to him: SHOW NO FEAR—
THINK FAST—SPEAK WITH CON
VICTION — REASON — FOLLOW
THROUGH . . .
"Sit down in that chair,” Jerry
roared, surprised at his loud voice.
This gave him a bit of confidence.
Then he thought of his next move.
“A nut,” the man ventured, half
under his breath, and he obeyed.
He kept his eyes on the gun as
though hypnotized by it.
"Shut up and sit stilL”
“You’re a smart . . The man
glanced away from the gun just
long enough to see if there was
anything near that he could grab.
"Wot you going to do? Let me
go. I ain’t done nothing but eat
some of your grub. Honest, mister.
I'll get out of here quick if you’ll
put that gun down.” This was the
voice of a frightened man, but
not the voice or true dialect of a
hobo. Jerry relaxed slightly, and
the man in the chair moved. This
was the time to "follow through”
if he was ever going to do it.
"Get up and do exactly as I
tell you,” he commanded.
The man cringed but rose slowly,
his eyes still on the gun. He hated
guns; he was afraid of guns, and
he knew now that this man knew
it, too. If he could only knock It
to the floor . . .
"Keep your hands high, get to
that telephone beside the door, and
do as I tell you. Any monkey-
business. .
The man advanced toward the
door and the telephene without
looking from right to left. Jerry
moved to his tide at he passed
him. He conld feel the man’s
body tremble, as though he were
having a chill, when he touched
him with the gun.
"Now put your left hand on the
receiver, lift it off the hook and
put it to your ear. When the op
erator answers, tell her to con
nect you with the Helm road dis
trict police. When they answer,
tell them to come immediately to
the Anderson cottage off Helm
road.”
The man lowered his arm slowly
and took the receiver off the hook.
He'd stall, he thought; maybe the
nut would give him an ’in.’ But
hearing the sound of regular
breathing and feeling the pressure
of the gun against his back, any
illusions that he might have had
regarding an ‘in,’ were shattered.
"Operator, gimme the Helm road
police station." His voice quaver
ed, and his hand was shaking. He
couldn’t keep the receiver close
to his ear.
The man was conscious of the
gun at his back, and he spoke in
a deep hoarse whisper, "Come to
the Anderson cottage off Helm
road right away.’*
"What's up?” Jerry heard the
officer ask.
"Tell him,” he snapped at the
man.
“I’ve got the man you’ve been
looking fpr.”
Jerry heard the quick break of
the connection at the police sta
tion. ‘VISUALIZE—CHANCE IT—
DO—FOLLOW THROUGH’ . . .
He had the answer . . .
"Drop that receiver and get
your left arm up.” He hesitated,
then ordered his prisoner to go
back to the same chair and sit
down.
The killer had a dogged smirk
on his face as he tnrncd and
moved toward the chair. He
felt positive that his captor was
a ‘nut,’ and with that gun . « .
Seconds passed as he continued
to glare at Jerry. Then he thought
of an old trick that he would try
in order to get Jerry off guard. He
wondered why he had not tried it
when he first came into the room.
Stiffening himself and settling
back in the chair, he broke the
silence with a tirade of oaths.
"Keep it up and keep them up,
too,” Jerry ordered.
This was not the reaction that
the killer had hoped for. He then
quieted and began to talk more
coherently, and soon was telling
of the crime for which he was be
ing hunted. He spared none of
the details.
Then Jerry heard the purr of
a motor and men’s voices. A
slight wave of relief swept over
him. Almost immediately, there
was a sound of crackling shrub
bery and running feet. The front
door opened and two officers,
with guns drawn, rushed in.
They saw their man and covered
him.
“Good work, Mr. Anderson, good
work."
When the officers yanked the
man to his feet and they had start
ed for the door, one of them said
to the prisoner, “You’re lucky to
have had this extra living time,
him spotting you and with every
body in the county ready and will
ing to shoot you on sight.”
The prisoner did not comment,
but he scowled and was shaking
and snorting with anger.
“The gun was not loaded, of
ficer, and 1 could recognize him
only from his story . . . you see,
I am blind,” Jerry said softly.

Battlo of Coral Sea Termed
First Big Defeat for Japan
In the battle of that island-studd d
ocean known hs the Coral sea, which
Is near the Solomon Islands and
about 1,000 miles northeast of Aus
tralia, America’s first real victory
of the war with Japan was scored.
The action occurred on May 4, 1942,
and called for deeds of valor as
thrilling as any in all American
history.
The Coral sea battle was the first
great naval defeat ever dealt the
imperial Japanese fleets. And yet
this battle was fought entirely in
the air, by the planes of opposing
aircraft carriers.
The ships engaged in this battle
never got sight of each other. They
slugged It out without firing a single
gun at another ship- -the first en
gagement of its kind ’ l history. In
this first great victory for the U. S.
in this global war the Japs lost more
than 15 ships sunk and at least 20
others severely damaged. The action
perhaps saved Australia from Inva
sion.
However, America paid a high
price for her victory in the sultry
Coral sea. In this engagement the
aircraft carrier, Lexington, famed
ship that laid the foundation of our
modern navy’s aircraft carrier op
erations, went to the bottom. This
happened on May 7.
