; BULLET IN HE ART WOMAN LIVES EI Paso, Tex.—(U.R)—Alive with a bullet wound in her heart. Mrs Anne Sewell, Clint, ex., presents one of the strangest cases in El Paso medical history, attending physieaus say. Mrs. Sewell, wife of Howard Sewell. Clint fanner and gin manager, is recovering at Masonic hospital here. She was shot Dec. 26, when her nephew accidentally discharged a .22 caliber rifle, a Christmas gift from the family. The bullet broke the membrane covering the heart, pierced the heart muscle, and an- , tered the lung. Site escaped death by an eighth of an inch, her physician said.

SYNOPSIS Lovely Stanley Paige eould have married any eligible man in her set — there was. for instance, the young lawyer, Perry Deverest, loyal and reliable: but she fell in love with dashing, irresponsible Drew Armitage. Drew told Dennis St. John, h i s former sweetheart, that although he would have loved Stanley under any circumstances, he would never have become engaged to her had she been poor. Then comes the crash and Stanley's fortune is wiped out. She does not care as long as she has Diew’s love, but . . he says it would be madness to marry on his income. So with s dramatic . . . “Stanley. I shall never forget you and I shall always regret having hurt you — but never having loved you!" he passes out of her life. Though broken-hearted. Stanley accepts the blow stoically She refuses to accept charity from her friends, leaves her luxurious apartment and rents a cheap furnished room. CHAPTER FOURTEEN Stanley followed the woman up three flights of dusty, carpeted stairs. They smelled of disinfectant and a certain mustiness that comes of too little sunlight and fresh air At the top of the last flight. Mrs. Foley paused for breath “Next year. I’m giving up this place for one farther uptown. I’ll have just one floor m an apartment house with elevator service. I can’t stand these stairs the way I used to. Besides. 1 can’t get much for these rooms any more—what with so many better places going up all around me." She unlocked the door of ?. small room at the end of the hall. It had 1 sloping side walls, a dormer win- 1 dow. a studio bed. a painted bureau The floor was painted a dull green and it had one colorless but i clean rag rug On a rod by the dresser, one cotton and one Turkish I towel bung limply in the heat. The i place was unbearably hot. 1 “There’s no closet but you can hang your clothes behind that curtain Most folks that has this room don’t need a closet. The bathroom’s the third door down the hall—please don't leave the light bum- I ing." She waited silently while Stanley : pulled off her gloves and her close little hat Then she cleared her throat and said abruptly, but not ’ unkindly. “I’ll have to trouble you for the first week in advance, please < —it’s customary.” i “I’m sorry," Stanley flushed i swiftly. “I’ve never taken a room i before—l didn't know." i "Oh. that’s al) right." For the i first time the woman smiled. Ir was I rather a bleak smile. One felt that ' it was not at home on her tight, i lean lips “I've had all kinds since i 1 started here fifteen years ago— ; you’re not the first young lady that’s been with me. It's a strange world—and a hard one." She laid I two keys on the dresser, turned i and went back downstairs, making l scarcely a sound on her worn, rub- < ber heels. i Stanley pushed open the window and sat down on the bed Her head was aching, her mouth was dry. She could no longer think She had thought so much in the last week, such a cruel, ever-recurring circle of thoughts, like a needle going around and around on a monoto-

Thou nature L.torvened to gave ber ' life. The curious character of the wound caused a hemorrhage In the ' lung, which Isolated an air sac In I the lower cavity. Pressure from | the bottom of the lung shifted the ' wounded heart from Its normal position on the left side of the body to the right, and forced the I wound firmly against the cavity, wall. ! The pressure caused the heart 1 ;to bleed very little, and with the wound thus closed, It began to heal, doctors said. An examination revealed the peculiar fluid In the sac covering the heart — fluid that lubricates the vital organ. This proved that the bullet struck the heart, but did not enter the heart, cavity, attending physicians said.

nous, silly, jumbled record: ‘Drew has left you—you’re poor, desperately poor—you ought to hate him —but you love him—you haven’t any pride—you haven't any money —you’re just a poor, weak thingcrawling away—you can't face people—Drew has left you ” Over and over again, tormenting her. making her crazy, hysterical, beneath the smooth, hard shell of ber apparent calmness. But now she seemed to have reached an end to thinking But she could still feel. She knew that she was miserably uncomfortable. Her eyes strayed to the two towels hanging so dejectedly on their metal rod—a bath, surely, a bath would help. She pulled herself to her feet, took the towels and went down the ball. The bathroom door stood partly open and before the marble washbasin a girl in scarlet pajamas was cleaning her teeth. She stared at Stanley quite frankly out of thickly lashed, blue eyes. “I’ll be out of here in a sec—you’re new, aren't you?” Stanley nodded, smiled politely. She wondered if this was the girl who had lived in the “swell dump on the Drive." She thought that quite likely she was—she was little and njeely put together and her hair was very blond and Tier eyes were very wise. “What room have you got—the one at the end of the hall?” “Yes." “Well, you’ll suffocate in that closet 1 know, 1 lived in it last summer. You’d bettei- drag your bed into my rcom if it stays so darned hot I'm in luck—l’ve got two windows. They’re not on the court, either. Sometimes, just for excitement a breeze gets fresh and pops in on me." She gathered up her soap and toothbrush and a couple of damp towels. “You’re tn luck. too. I’ve left the tub clean and some hot water; that’s more than some of the rest of 'em would have done." She grinned again, flung back her short golden hair and went past Stanley down the hall, leaving behind her an aroma of bath powder and violet soap. “Whoever she is," Stanley thought turning on the hot water, watching the thin stream trickle into the bottom of the narrow tub, “she’s friendly and awfully pretty." Her head ached with fatigue. She wondered if the tub would ever fill. If she would have energy enough to climb into it, if it did. If having climbed in, it would not be easier to lie quite still and let the water rise slowly but surely until it submerged her. She had read about a girl once, in a tabloid, a girl who had drowned herself in a bathtub. Then it had seemed a silly, stupid sort of a thing to do. Now it seemed so easy, so simple, so altogether possible. The water reached the nickel outlet and began to gurgle out Stanley reached clown and turned it off. Stepped over the side of the tub and slid into the water's warm embrace. It touched the back of her neck, caressed her chin. She closed tier eyes Relaxed. The pain left her head The whirling receded from before her eyes. Her body felt deliciously light and buoyant She lifted one arm and felt the pull of the water against it Turned over on her side and watched it trickle over her toes.

She closed her eyes and sank her face against its warm surface For a long moment she held her breath like s person swimming under water, then she raised her head, brushed the water out of her eyes, with the back of her arm That girl had been insane — people didn't drown themselves in bathtubs. She reached for a jar of bath salts. Shook some gently into the tub. They were green and sparkling and smelled of pine woods; they were delightfully fragrant and reassuringly familiar. Stanley had flung herself on the bed. not bothering to dress again. Heat streamed in almost visible waves through the open window and across the narrow room. Sounds came in through the window also, borrowed like the heat from the streePbelow; the shriek of children, the screech of too hastily applied brakes, the rumble of surface cars and the shrill hawking of an occasional newsboy. Friendly sounds, impersonal sounds. Like the heat, they beat against her. There was no escaping either. The blond girl came and knocked on the door, pushed it open. “Going out to dinner?” Stanley shook her head. “It’s so hot " “1 know but it’s bad business going without food. There's a tea room around the corner—it’s not half bad. We can have a crabmeat salad and some iced coffee. HI wait while you dress." Stanley put on her clothes obediently It was too much trouble to protest. The girl sat on the win-dow-sill and smoked a cigarette and watched her with frankly curious eyes. “What’s your line?” she asked, staring a bit at a French chemise Stanley was sliding over her head. “Model?” “No—l’m afraid I haven’t any yet. I’ve got to find something to do." “My gosh, but you’re optimistic! What did you do last?” Stanleymanaged a small smile. “Nothing," she admitted honestly. “You see, I’ve always had plenty of money—but now quite suddenly I haven’t any." The blond girl nodded, her eyes a bit wide. “So that’s it. 1 thought your clothes were different — and your voice. Gosh, all this must seem awful to you." She indicated the narrow room, the shabby furniture. “Not so awful as other things that have happened to me,” Stanley assured her quietly. “You haven't told me your name." she added, “mine’s Stanley Paige.” “Haven’t I seen you in the rotogravure section of the Sunday paper? With a dark, awfully goodlooking man?" “1 expect so." “Imagine me knowing anyone like that!-' She was quite evidently impressed. "I’m Valerie Blair. Just a salesgirl at present in a little shop on Fifty-eighth—but I’ve got ambitions. I'm going to be assistant buyer before I’m thirty. After that " She shrugged. “Our buyer makes ten thousand a year, to say nothing about trips to Parie and al) the rest of it That’s what I’m working for— I’m out for blood.” She grinned swiftly, flinging her cigarette out the window. “I don’t suppose it sounds tnueb to you—but, baby, it’s heaven to me!"
