Digging His Ov/n
Grave

AURELIUS SMITH'S fight with
Bull Danby was a desperate af
fair. Smith usually fought with his
iMind while he allowed his lanky,
lazy body to assume the most com
fortable posture possible but. when
Bull Dandy looted a Los Angeles bank.
Smith found himself so close to death
that he had to fight with everything
that was in hint. Smith knew Oanhy
but had always failed to pin any
thing on him and Danby was con
vinced that Smith should be killed be
fore be became successful.
Danby made the mistake of letting 1
himself he recognized before he es- ;
catted in his high-powered car with j
the bank’s money. Fifty miles from ;
the city, on a lonely mountain road
the bandit’s car broke down. The
police found it and were certain that
Dnnh.v ntul his one companion had
struck Into the mountains on foot. The
sheriff was organizing several posses
when Aurelius Smith, in the pay of
the looted bank, decided to look over
the ground alone and in advance.
Near Ihe deserted car was an old
and precarious trail which ascended
the mountain along the side of a deep
valley. Smith, his long legs dangling
from the hack of a small burro, turned
into this trail and began to ascend.
The narrow and dangerous path wound
tortuously and rose sharply. On one
side the high mountain rose steeply
and on the other side the deep valley
dropped precipitously.
He had been riding for several
hours when his burro halted suddenly.
On the. path ahead a large rattlesnake
was coiled with raised head. Evi
dently it was temporarily blinded by
the summer heat. Smith took a spare
cartridge from his pocket and tossed
it at the snake which struck viciously
at nothing and glided under a small
bush. At the same Instant a rock
crashed down the mountainside and
struck the trail a few feet behind the
burro. The animal dashed ahead but
Smith kept iiis seat and pulled his
mount to a halt at a spot where the
trail broadened sufficiently to make
a turn.
dancing upward tie saw notning
but jutting rocks and steeply rising
slopes. lie bent forwnrd slightly,
ready to kick his heels into the bur
ro’s flanks. As he did so there was
a flash and a sharp report from nhove.
The hurro started violently and Smith
fell, a limp and inert shape upon the
narrow trail.
There was silence and then a man
rose from behind a boulder on the
mountainside and looked down. As he
did so an arm from the figure on the
trail shot upward and there was a
roar from a forty-five. The man
dropped behind the boulder and the
next second the lanky Smith was claw
ing Ills way ui> the steep slope.
Itehind the rock, which had eon
coaled his assailant, he found his man
lying face downward, beside some can
vas bags and a shovel. Pistol in hand
he stooped to feel the heart of the
prostrate man.
“Put 'em up!”
Bull Dan by rose from a rock twen
ty feet higher up the slope—gun In
hand. Smith dropped his pistol ami
raised his hands while the man on the
ground rolled over and stood up after
securing Smith's pistol. Certainly
Smith was caught. He stood quite still,
his face expressionless.
Danby Insolently confronted his cap
tive. After staring gloatingly for a
few seconds he spat full In Smith’s
face. Desperate as he was Smith did
not forget the value of keeping his
temper. He smiled.
That smile infuriated Bull Danby.
He kicked the shovel toward Smith
anil told him to dig the hole bigger
and at least six feet long.
"We'll bury yon with the money
from the bank,” Danby snarled, "ami
you can guard it until we come back.
Now get to work!"
It was to he his grave. He lowered
his hands, shrugged iiis shoulders and
picked up the shovel while Bull Dau
by's companion, gun in hand, watched
him.
“He may have money,” suggested
Bull's companion as Smith begnn to
dig. “We only got high denomina
tion* from the bank and we need
ABOUT INSANITY
In a bulletin of the National
Committee for Mental Hygiene
seme enlightening information
concerning insanity is given,
which is not only interesting,
but valuable. It mentions a
great many false notions held
by the public regarding mental
disorders, and gives insteod of
these the results of scientific
research.
Some of the things science
teaches today concerning in
sanity are these:
Insanity develops gradually;
it is no more to be ashamed of
than pneumonia or a broken
leg; it is a disease and should

Smith dropped the shovel nnd stood
meekly with his hands clasped ns the
nian came toward him. fie still had
a trick left and, with a little luck, he
might win. Uis attitude was so inno
cent that it was quite disarming and
yet. it was the most advantageous at
titude that he could assume. Bull
Dauby, noticed nothing suspicious and
stood, ten feet away with his pistol
dangling in his right hand.
As the would-he despoiler came be
tween him and Danby, Smith slipped
llie lingers of his right hand into his
left cuff. When the thieving fingers
entered the first pocket. Smith drove
bis knee with great force into the pit
of the man’s stomach and. extracting
a tiny revolver from inside Ids left
sleeve, tired as Danby raised his arm
to shoot.
Bull Danby dropped his pistol nnd
clutched Ids right shoulder while the
other bandit sprawled senseless upon
the ground. Smith collected the vari
ous weapons, lighted a cigarette and
made himself comfortable to wait un
til same of the sheriff's men might
ride up the trail. With a quick stroke
lie had won in the middle of digging
ids own grave.
I have medical treatment; be
; tween 25 and 40 percent of
i those treated are discharged
recovered or improved. Shock
of misfortune or grief may pre
cipitate insanity, but does n,ot
cause it unless mental disorder
already exists; there are usua.J
ly symptoms which if recog
nized early enable physicians
to check the malady; there are
many kinds of mental disorder,
just as there are many kinds of
physical ailments; “nervous
breakdown” is really a mental
condition in which there is
rarely anything organically
wrong with the nervous system.
In olden times an insane
person was supposed to be pos
sessed of a devil, and the poor
wretched was often tortured to
exorcise the evil spirit. Now
we know that a crazy person
is simply sick mentally and
needs intelligent and humane
treatment.
Furthermore, insanity is more
or less comparative. Most of
us are a little off at times.
KIDS ARE JUST KIDS
In this age of researches, sur
vey; and investigations, it is
sometimes encouraging to note
that in most cases things are
just about as sensible folks
suspected before we had so
much research.
Por example, after an elab
orate study cf many school
pupil; by experts of Witten
berg College, it was discovered
that students from large fam
ilies were as bright as those
from small families. Also that
there was a fair degree of uni
fcirmity among students who
happened to be the oldest,
middle or youngest in their
respective families.
Again, it didn’t seem to make
much difference in the intelli
gence of the offspring whether
either or both of the parents
were college graduates or not.
All of which indicates that
the average pupil is just about
average, no matter what hap
pened to his folks beforehand.
Which, again and also, is what
