SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1940 YESTERDAY: The Toland tribe takes over the house and drives Tomi to distraction. Just as she is thanking her lucky stars that the time limit is nearly up, Harold falls sick. Chapter 23 Quarantined! “(7ALL Dr. Tillman,” advised Abe, without interest. “But, Abe. do you know him? Is he good? Does he know his business?” Abe, whose gentle nature had been marinated in Tolands until it had turned acid, swung on Tomi. “Do I know Tillman? Is he . good? Does he know his busi- mess?” His voice went up in crescendo. “See this arm?” He rolled up his sleeve. “It was broke. He set it. It’s as good as new. See this leg?” Up went a trouser leg. “Double fracture. He Set it. It’s as good as new.” “Now, Abe,” warned Tomi, as Abe's hand went to his neck, “don’t tell me you broke your neck and he set that.” “But I did have a carbuncle, and—” “I know,” cried Tomi, hysteri- | cally. “It’s as good as new.” And she headed for the house to con-| front the excited family. | LEAP BEFORE By Peggy O’More “That means that no one who has been exposed to the patient may leave the premises.” Tomi thought of the will. “But eee can’t do that,” she cried faint- ly. “But I can,” corrected Tillman, “I am the city health physician and you are within the city limits. I don’t want an epidemic in my territory and I shall take every means of preventing it.” Tomi blinked at the doctor. There were two—no, there were a of him. Then all three fad- ed. He caught her as she fell. Tomi sat propped on the old leather divan in her office, anx- ious eyes on the desk clock. “But what shall I do, Dr. Tillman? If every member of that family is not out of this house within six minutes, I lose this farm.” She had started explaining her predicament almost before she had fully regained consciousness, and all that city health physician had done was to sit there with his shoulders shaking as though he had a chill. Could he be laughing at her? Evidently not. When he spoke his voice held the proper,bedside tone of condolence. “Conceding remarkable foresight on the part of the late Timothy Toland,” he said, “he could hardly have fore- told such an exigency as this.” “I’m calling a Doctor Tillman,” | “But he did!” cried Tomi in ex- asperation. “He knew the family. she told them as she thumbed | They always do things like this.” madly through the telephone! “Such things as deliberately book. “Abe had him and now| contracting measles?” Abe’s as good as new.

They dropped another game yesterday—making it seven in a row. Conquerors again were the Boston Red Sox, aspiring junior circuit and world’s champions, who pushed across a run in the tenth inning yesterday to break a two-to-two tie, and win the game, 3 to 2. Detroit Tigers shut out the Chicago White Sox yesterday. Buck News0m was in top form, allowing the Scx only seven hits. Tigers scored their total of runs in the sixth inning. -Final score, ‘0 0.

She leaned back. exhausted. “He'll be right over,” she man- aged to assure the family, and looked at the clock. One hour and fifty seconds to go. Two hours more of this and she'd be needing a doctor. But not this one. She knew she wasn't going to like him. He had a deep, rich chuckle. Harold was getting worse. His pink frogs had sprouted chicken wings. Suppose the poor little fel- | low died after she'd shaken hi for nothing but a silly old jardi- niere. Why hadn't she realized any city child would act that way, once he felt the freedom of a} farm. Tomi, Great- aunt Hannah: Agatha, Parilla and even tottéring old Jane, met the doctor at the roadside. Measles } IMI heaved a great sigh of re- tief when she saw him.

True, his eyes were brown, but he must have been associating with Allen Bar- | tell to have caught that infectious gleam. Only the Carringtons were al- lowed inside the patient’s room. Tomi giggled sharply as the physi- cian closed the door smack against Great-aunt Hannah’s pompadour. She ran downstairs where she could watch the clock without be- ing observed. Thirty minutes to go. Maybe they could take Har- old to the hospital. He’d really have better.care. Oh, she was a snake in the grass, balancing poor little Harold's life against the ald farm! Moments passed, then Doctor Tillman emerged from_the sick- room, May weeping, Carrington looking serious. “No need for concern,” the phy- sician was saying. “It lcoks like a light case. Oh, Miss Toland—” he started downstairs —“may I see you alone a moment?” Tomi led him into her little of- fice and closed the door. “I understand this is your home. Tm sorry, but I will have to place it under quarantine.” “Qua-qua—” gasped Tomi, CLOSING SHOP FOR SUMMER Jack and Norval Behan, pro- prietors of Southernmost Candies on" are’ closing their wording of the will limited the length of their visit here.

The dark brows went up, the brown eyes danced. “So you too were overseas during the war,” | commented Doctor Tillman, and Tomi, cheeks as scarlet as Har- old’s, watched him depart. For a few moments she stood, facing a hectic future, then walked into the living room to find Great- aunt Hannah in complete control of the situation.

A five-run barrage in the fifth inning, and a four-run rally in the eighth inning were sufficient for the second-place Cleveland Indians to defeat the slipping St. Louis Browns yesterday. Brooklyn Dodgers lost their third game of the season when the New York Giants, led by superb pitching by Harry Gum- bert, knocked out 12 hits to win, 7 to 2. Harry Danning’s home run was a contributing factor in the victory. In the only other game played in the National League, the Pittsburgh Pirates ended their extended losing streak by pound- ing out an 8 to 3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Mace Brown held the Bruins to five safeties. The sixth-inning five-run rally, aided by Virgil Davis’ three-run hom- er, clinched the game for the Bucs.
