Muncie Babe Holds Own In Life Fight Child's Condition Reported Unchonged .Muncie, Ind., Oft- -’2 -tLI’l Baby Gayle Eleanor Harvey was holding her own today In her fight against dread tubercular meningitis as offers from would be blood donors poured Into Ball memorial hospital. Little IT-month-old Gayle's one slim chance for life lay in a new drug, streptomycin, on the efficacy ot which science had yet to find uniformity One report was that It had some effect on the disease, another that It had failed. The Story of the baby's Illness, of u type usually fatal, stirred the nation liM«t week as her physician, Dr. Gerald Young, placed his faith in the new drug, but faith was shared by Gale's 21-year-old mother, .lean, widow of a soldier. Di. Young said the offers of human blood were appreciated but futile. If transfusions were needed, a special type of blood would not be necessary. Still telephone tails and telcgramr came from all parts of the country. Some offers came from spcrsoiM who said they had recovered from tubercular meningitis, reported to spare only out* in five of its victims Gayle was being given 300,4H)0 units of streptomycin each 21 hours The supply on hand, searched out laboriously because of scarcity of the penlcillin-l'ko earth i mold, was sufficient to last some three weeks.

CHAPTER FORTY-THREE EARLY NEXT morning Fitz was off for hia heavy schedule of interviews. Terry had breakfast with him at seven In a small shop around the corner from the hotel. "Just wanted to remind you what you're in for when you marry me,” he explained his urgent invitation lightly. “And to ess If your life of luxury had made you haggard at dawn.”

Terry waa remembering the junky little sweet shop they used to drop into at any hour of the day or night around the corner from the paper. ”All the cups of coffee I’ve drunk with you," die laughed. “Tvs often wondered," Fits said, • if It’s you that atimutatae me, or just the aasoctation. He kissed her on the brow when she was half through her breakfast roll, and dashed off. Rhe watched his tall lanky figure hurrying carelessly along and laughed aloud. Get up at dawn for five minutes! Oh, well, that was Fits. She met Jime at ten and they went shopping along the glittering length ot Calle Florida. “The only difference between the way I shop alone and with you,” Terry murmured, "la that 1 go into the shops when I'm with you.” Jims cried, "That proves we're kindred spirits I have a secret manta for window shopping.” Terry accomplished hrr buying quickly Some fresh accessories—two pairs of gloves, half a dozen palm of stockings, some lingerie. Jime was slightly surprised at such restraint, and Terry explained humorously. "Even If I do marry Fit a I won’t need a trousseau. We won’t take time for a honeymoon. I know him. And he probably won’t have house rent He has trouble with his money. He buys things. He's probablypaying installments on a battleship thia year.” "Well, If you're sure you're through then, dear, we can start on my shopping. It is rather urgent" They took a taxi five blocks farther down the noisy, crowded street Between the jacaranda trees still faintly blue, they stopped before the glass and onyx front of a couturiers. "1 have complete confidence in Madeliene,” Jime said aa they made their way acron the street and went through the door the doorman held for them. "She haa found my clothes for me ever since X used to go to her on the Rue de la Palx.” \ The black-haired French woman

waa dtartned to see Jime. She wm holding an exquisite summer frock for her, she said. •Til see it later,” Jime promised "Right now I want you to fit my friend for a complete trousseau." “Me?” gasped Terry. Both Jime and the black-haired Madeliene laughed at her Hank confusion. And Madeliene began to bring ©»jt models even while Jime wen overriding Terry's MffNßfl "Be quiet,” she admonished. "If you think I have no right to give you a gift, then youH have to take It aa salary. After all, you've been helping me decorate houses for two months. And you are a "famous Norte American decorator.” Terry groaned. "Says who? rd never be able to repay you aa long as I live!”

Suddenly Jime react ed to take her hand in hets. The dipped authority in her voice softened to quiet entreaty "You don't really mind, do you? Because X want to buy you those clothes. I want to tldnk of your wearing them—and remembering n.e. I’ve enjoyed you, Terry. Remember X told you once you’re the kind of girt I've always wanted for a daughter.” Terry’s protests stumbled hard against the quick lump in her throat. She blinked a couple of times and her smile was unsteady. "This is one of tbs bigger momenta in my life, Jime.” That night Fits remembered to send Terry roses and take her out for dinner. She wanted to tell him of the unbelievable trousseau bought and packed in new luggage. But she hesitated mentioning it until he spoke of marrying her again. It would not be surprising to hear he'd changed hia mind. He was full of the spice of his interviews. How he'd cracked the shell of old Ironsides, how he’d coaxed a story from a recalcitrant cabinet member, the long cable he’d sent winding up the stones. Now he was free as a bird. “And now—” he leaned acron the softly lit night club tablet "we can talk about your book.” Terry murmured, “Oh,” a little flatly. Taen she remembered. Business always first with Fits. He had usually gotten around to proposing when they were standing on the steps of her apartment with the river breeze blowing their breath into icicles. But she forgave him the next moment as he concentrated oa he? description of the novel. The beckground sounded fabulous, bi ad-
