Canadian Plant—St. Catharines, Ontario. The White Feather EVERY one spoke of him as the man that knew no fear. He had never been known to turn down a challenge. No one had ever had to say to him, “I double dare you!” In the World War, he reccived the D. S. C., the Victoria Cross, the Legion of Honor, and a personal let- ter of thanks from the President. In his house, after his marri he was boss. His mother-i never spent her vacation there. And he was very much devoted to his wife. In bridge, he would not hesitate to bid four spades after a three no- trump declaration, his partner hay- ing passed, and whenever he was doubled, he would immediately re- double. In trains, he could open any window, and could so push his ticket into the upholstery that it didn’t disappear whenever the train gave a sudden jerk. In restaurants or hotels, he could completely dry his hands with one paper towel. In the streets, he would altogether ignore panhandlers who needed only another dime to get their first cup of coffee in months—honest, buddy —or to complete their fund for car- fare back to Californ-i-a. In short, he was in all things the Hercules, Siegfried, Achilles, Paul Bunyan, Beowulf, Napoleon, and Hannibal of his community and his time. And then one day the debacle came. Suddenly and with no warn- ing. Completely and with no after- math, “Will you do me a favor on your way to the office, dear?” his wife asked him that morning. “Certainly; what is it?” “Just stop in at Racy’s and return this dress I bought yesterday.” The blood left his face, his mouth twitched, and his hands fell limply to his sides; a moment later his life- less form tumbled to the ground.
