Exit Tony Blount

. by Sydney Parkman

Tony Blount lay back and thought over what he had heard. There was no doubt that he was being offered such a chance This poor devil had not been quick escape as would never come to him again. but. on the other hand, there were big risks attached to it. To begin with there was the question 'of making the initial getaway.

That in itself would be no easy matter under the eyes of the arm- ed guards. It could be done - it had been done - but it meant watching and waiting for the right moment. And when that moment came the chance would have to be seized upon with lightning speed. enough and had received a wound which had ultimately brought him to this pass. The guards were un- der orders to shoot at once, and they acted upon them to the let-

er.

Even supposing he got clean away. however. he realised that he would still be faced with the most difficult part of the task. He would first of all have to strike across unknown country at the risk of coming upon other gangs at work, and somehow find this old clear- ing. Then, having located the spot, he must take to the mangrove swamps, burdened with a heavy loeg of water. and begin the search for the boat. Beyond that point he felt it useless to speculate. but ul- timately, remotely. there lay the dim prospect of getting clear of the island altogether.

But that lay beyond the farth- est horizon. Nearer at hand and far ..iore easily visualised, loomed the prospect of failure and recap- ture. He knew what that meant. Even if he were not wounded or otherwise injured, there would be the long weeks of solitary confine- ment on starvation rations, and the following months in the parti- cular hell of the punlshmenh squad.

It was a prospect to make a man think twice before he decided upon making a break for it. And the previous record of attempted es- capes were very far from encour- aging. Of the five which had tak- e place since they had started work on the island, three of the men had given themselves up, and this last one had been recaptured -all within forty-eight hours. The fifth man had been shot dead by one of the guards as he made his dash. True. apparently all had been the result of sudden impulse, and there had been nothing in the way of. preparation. But they il- lustrated the conditions grimly.

Nevertheless. he knew that he could not let this chance go by. and he lay awake for some while staring blankly at the rectangle of night sky framed by the window and visualising the opportunities which might occur in the course of the day for making the initial dash for liberty. It was a profitless pastime. but the mere thought of

J '-...remote.wasas intoxicating as raw spirit.

All he succeeded in doing was to cause h-is ill-used head to start throbbing again, and at length he resolutely dismissed the fascinat- ing theme from his mind and tried to himself for sleep again.

It was long before he succeeded. but at last he fell into an uheasy doze which lasted for some hours. He was amused by someone shak- ing his shoulder and sat up to find old Jean at his bedside and the first grey of dawn struggling in through the barred window.

"Up you get, my old," the "trusty" was saying. 'lRevellle's gone, and you've been r6D0l't0d H9

Strange But True

Not only did 91-yea:-old Charles Cornish of Princetown, England. predict the day of his death. but he also told relatives he'd be buri- ed on Saturday. He died on Wednwday and was buried on Saturday lost as he- ealdshe would.

in remote areas at Canada. Eddie Muir is an accountant in a Vancouver bank. in Kimono, about 400 miles from nowhere. to serve several thousands of workers who are his customers. Muir often starts his day at 8 p. m., often in bad weather. Last summer the young bank clerk boarded a plane and flew to the Arctic circle to serve workers at the Canadian government's uranium mine at Port Radium.

for duty."

He rose without a word and be- gan to put on his clothes. which lay in a heap on the floor at the foot of his bed. His head was ach- ing badly. and he felt dazed and stupid.

"Hurry up." the old "trusty" urged. "I've got orders to turn you over to the guard, and they're due at iy minute now."

"All right, all right!" Tony gnwled. And then, with a fleeting glance through the half-light at the blanket shrouded figure in the next bed: "How's our pal here?" "I don't know." Jean answered lndifferently. He shuffled over to the bed however. and partly draw- ing the blanket away, leaned down and peered at the man's face. Then he straightened up and drew the blanket right over his head.

"He's hopped it." he said. To be continued

Now let me tell'you about the greedy porker that changed the his- three state. Here's how it happened:

shortly after the Republic of Texas won independence from Mexico, it made application to a French bank for a 9,000,000,000 loan. France favored the loan, knowing its approval might end in annexation of Texas, so Count Alphonse de Saligny was sent to Austin, Texas to negotiate the treaty. Negotiations were going along well until a pig broke into the Count's storeroom and filled its belly on corn. Then one-of the Count's servants killed the porker nriih a hay fork.

The owner of the pig. learning of the incident, beat up the servant and threw him out on his ear.

Cooling down. the owner of the pig made a public apology, The count wo'uldn't accept it. He want- ed the apology to come from the Secretary of State!

The matter was referred to the senate but that august body not only refused to allow the secretary of Stale to apologize. but also re- fused to ratify the treaty with France.

The count countered with u re- fusal of the pending 35.000.000.000 loam. and packing his bags set out for France.

The infant Republic then began

negotiations with the vnited states. 'me two nations hit it off well - so well in fact, that in a short time Texas decided to ' the union. Thus it may be seen how one oom-loving porter chang- ed the history of three states, strange but true.

Part of the will left by Jean Rioux, '79 of images, France. read: "A barrel of wine I recently bought must be drunk by those who attend my funeral. and they must be gay and happy during two days."

No doubt there were many mou- ners at Rloux's funeral.

one doesn't need a house in order to enjoy a home - and here are some facts to prove it. one smart fellow in Alberta bought a discarded bus and made a happy home out of it.

On a farm near Kitchener, Ontario, a married couple are on- joying a home they made from a silo, Where once cattle chow was stored there now are rooms in three levels, pnoviding plenty of space for the family of ten.

Trailer homes that can be left anywhere are so common today that they need no special mention here. '

Houseboats are common homes in many parts of the world where there are waterways.

But Mrs. Arthur Ellis, of Revere. Mam. came up with the oddest house of all - although she did not live in it long. The wife of a steeplejack, Mrs. Ellis made her home on a platform atop a pole!

Believing that animals ought to be treated as humans. the Wood- house family of Rickmansworthj England. take their seven cows along when they go to the beach to enjoy their summer holidays. Maybe that's not so startling. but listen to this: The Woodhouse family dressed the seven kjne in light coals during the summer; wool-lined coats in the winter.

A will that caused no end of eyebrow lifting came to light re- cently when Alex Carlson a garden- er at Quincy, Mesa, left an un- expected estate. He willed 335,000 to his employers, Mr. and Mrs. John Hanson, and 35,000 to their shepherd dog, Lassie.
