Defect In Blood Vessel May Cause Stroke

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.O. IF a iyoung person complains of sudden severe headache with stiff neclcra physician should be called at once. These may be the warning signs of. < stroke due to a ruptured - blood vessel in the brain. This rupture can |>e detected by X-rays and corrected iby modern surgery, if caught early enough. Many young people have suffered strokes even though they had never; been bothered with disease of the heart or blood vessels, or even high blood pressure. Most of these strokes are due to a weak, spot in a Mood vessel supplying the brain. The wall of the vessel may bulge out at this spot, forming a pouch called an aneurysm. This weakness is not due to any disease or infection, but is there at birth. The weakened blood vessel may remain harmless for years and years, and rupture, usually when the person is in his ’teens or early twenties or thirties. The first sign is a sudden sharp head pain, extremely severe, with rigidity of the neck-.

— CHAPTER ONE r JOHNNY LIDDELL leaned back in ; bls desk chair, watched the shadow on the corridor side of the frosted glass door that proclaimed “Johnny Liddell — Private Investigations— Entrance Room 825.” ft was a man’s shadow. A small man’s, ft stood undecided tor a moment, then headed down the corridor In the direction of "Entrance Room 825.” Liddell sighed, crumpled the paper coffee cup, tossed it at the waste basket. It hit the rim, bounced off, rolled on the floor, LiddeH stared at it glumly, mentally debated the necessity for keeping the place clean, won the decision, stayed where he was. He pulled a pile of old correspondence in front of himself, and was apparently ears deep in work when the redhead from the front office stamped in. j There was a pink flush of annoyance on her facte. •‘There’s a Mr. Liddell to see you. MT. Liddell, a Mr. Johnny Liddell.” | I , Liddell considered the announcement, shrugged; “Let’s-have a look at him, Pinky.” "Mr. Liddell will see you now, i Mr. Liddell,” the redhead snapped over her shoulder. She glared as the little hian sidled into the room, flounced past him, and slammed the door after her. The shadow hadn’t lied. Its owner was a small map. Small and old. He seemed lost in the folds of the snapclesi overcoat he Wore, and only the protrusion of his ears kept his battered fedora from sliding down oven his eyes. It was an old face, the skin tike transparent parchment, but the eyes were alert, glistening like black beads from behind the folds of his eyelids. He ,was Chinese. “Vou are Jjohhny Liddell?” The voice was harsh, sibilant, softened only by the smile that accompanied it. "The Johnny Liddell: who worked in California nine or ten years ago?” Liddell nodded. “That’s me. Which one ate you?" I ■ The old hian chuckled. He pulled the fedora off his head, tyring a high, hairless dome. “I hdpe you don’t mind my borrowing your name. It was the first one to come to mind.” He placed a » paperwrapped, package on the comer of the desk, covered it with the fedora. “Not quite so insulting, I think, as John Smith dr John Doe, eh?” Liddell shrugged. “Forget It I never took out a copyright an the name. What’s on your mind?” ; The old man pulled a chair close to the desk, dropped wearily* into It. “I want you to keep something for me.” He indicated the package Oh the Corner of the desk. Liddell sighed. He found a pack of cigarettes in his top drawer, held it out to the old man, Waited until he had selected one, then hung one from the Corner of his ov.r mouth, where it waggled when he talked.

“Why not » safe deposit or a checkroom ?*’ i The old man lit his Cigarette, held It to his lips between thumb and index finger, squinted at Liddell through the smoke, “ft will be safer than In a public checkroom, and It will be available at any time, not Just during banking hours.” “Okay. So you want me to keep a package for you. What else ?” “Nothing else.” The old man reached into his pocket, dragged 4 out a wort leather wallet, fumbled through it nearsightedly, came up with two fifties. “This will be sufficient?” - Liddell glanced at the bills, raised his eyebrows, “A hundred Just to board a package?” He reached over for the package an,d weighed it in his hand. “What’s the gimmick ?” The old man smoked placidly. “I don’t understand ?” "Neither do L Why should you want to pay me a hundred dollars just to drop this thing into my safe for a couple of weeks or even: a month ?” "I thought I had explained,” the old man told him patiently. “It is worth much to me, much more than this,” he waved a hand at the bills on the desk, “to know that this package* is safe and that I can pick it up! at a moment’s notice.” He pulled himself out of the chair and stood at the far side of the desk. The cigarette hung precariously in the exact center of his mouth. “There is nothing more?” Liddell shook his head. “On your way put, the redhead will give you a receipt Leave your name and address with her in case I have to get in touch with you.” A benign grin wrinkled the parchment of the yellow face. “I do not need a receipt I trust you.” He picked up the battered fedora, jammed it down over the shining pate Until it came to’ resit on his ears. “It is not important for you to know where to find me, as long as I know where to find you.” He nodded, turned, and walked to the door with a qtieor, shufflng motion. Liddell watched the Reception room door close behind the narrow shoulders Os his visitor. A few sec* ohds later the thin shadow reappeared on the frosted glass door briefly, headed in the direction of the elevator bank. Liddell picked up the deck phone, pushed down a button on lits base. The redhead’s voice camp through. . “Call Jty down in the cigar stand in toe lobby, Pinky. Give him a good description of . the guy who just left here,” Liddell told her. “If he takes a cab, I want to know who the cabby was. If he walks, I want him tailed. And if he has a car I want the license plate number.” • * “Will do,” the received chirped back. ?

It measured about four inches wide * by about nine long, and was no more than' a quarter of an inch thick. He was still puzzling over it when the door opened and the redhead came in. , = “Joe says he’ll take care of that, Johnny.” She dropped into the chair the little Chinese had used. ’Thought he was pretty cute, didn’t he? Using your name! What was toe idea?” Liddell scowled. “He was testing me.” \ “What do you mean, testing • you?* "He wanted to see how good I was. See If I was smart enough to detect he was using an alia*,” he growled. He' opened the top drawer of the desk, tossed the ne er-wrapped package in, locked - the drawer with a small key on his chain. “I guess I passed the test. He hired me to play nurse- : maid to a package.” “What kind of package?” “Just a package ” He cruslfed his cigarette Out in the kiAal ashtray cm the corner of the dcik. “This me is a helluva way for a grown man to make a living.” "I don’t know what you’re kicking about. You’ve only had yqnr own agency for a month or so" and already you’ve had as least teh \ jobs. Is that bad?” “What kind of jobs? Watching •tin coffeepots at a wedding. Twice. Two dames who wanted to know where their husbands spent their ,evehings, three guys ditto their wives. Now I’m playing bodyguard to a paper package. You call that good?” He got up from behirfd the desk, stamped over to toe screen in corner; pushed it aside, fan sojne water into the basin. “If I don’t get some action soon I’m going to join the Boy Scouts just for excitement.” He Splashed some water in his face; sputtered. / "Going out again?" the redhead asked incuriously. ! ■■ i M Liddell swabbed \ his face dry With toe towel, hung it back on the rack. “You’re right.

You’re giving that place quite if. play these days. What’s the attraction?” Liddell shoved the screen, back in front of the basin, adjusted his tie.; “It’s the only place in town where I can feel •like a detective any more.

President ’Truman has said he would! not; order Eisenhower here. The general has said publicly that he did not plan to ask for recall, temporary, or otherwise. And he is busily rejecting invitations to'come home and speak?
