Bermann When 1 was a kid one of my favorite stories was a little yarn about a Spartan boy—it was in the third reader, if I re- member correctly. T'm not sure about all the details—because it’s been quite a few years since I read the third reader. But, as I recall it, the t before boy was pe fore a judge, stealing a eg There was ged of but he wouldn't admit the crime. He stood up straight and defied» the prosecuting attorney—or whoever it was they had in those days—to prove that he had stolen the fox. He was so convincing that the judge was just about to let him go— when suddenly the boy fell forward on his face, dead. And then they discovered that the fox that he had denied steal- ing had been hidden un- der his cloak—and had been gnawing at his vitals all the time that he was protesting his in- nocence so vehemently. + * . Even in my _ third reader days I had a pretty good idea of the difference between right and wrong—but, some- how or other I used to think pretty well of that Spartan boy. I knew he was a thief and all that... But he was so darn’ BRAVE ~ * * Thursday night police- men raided the home of Mrs. Nellie Salsbury, aged 52, at 2106 Seventh ave. They said Mrs. Sals- bury had been selling dope. “Dope?” she repeated their query. “Dope? You'll find no dope here.” And she laughed in their faces as they started to search the house. Her attitude was so convincing that the raid- ers began to wonder whether there was any dope there—altho they had lots of evidence. Just then the old woman toppled forward on her face, dead. And the policemen found that she had swallowed all the dope in the house— at the very moment‘that she was protesting that there was none there. */* * I know that dope trafficking is the vilest of crimes— far worse than the crime of that Spartan boy of long ago. But, somehow or other, I can’t help thinking pretty well of Mrs. Sals- bury. ... She was so darn’ BRAVE.
