NEW YORK (AT—Little Louie,
the kid who lives on borrowed
blood, has had a good year.
"I don’t get as tired as I used
to, ” said, as he rested on a hospit
al bed after receiving his 500th
transfusion.
Louie was given his first trans
fusion at the age of seven months
when doctors discovered he had
cooley's anemia. This is a rare
* childhood disease whose victims
are unable to fully replenish their
own blood.
There is no cure known. They
must live on the blood of others or
die. And usually they die anyway.
But in Louie's wiry 93-pound frame
' there is great gusto for living,
a a
stout heart that won't give up.
He is in his 14th year now. and
there is a good chance he may yet

MRS. MALONE sucked in he*
breath. The Marchese Della
casa listened as she asked: “Then
isn’t it cowardly to run away like
this?”
He hesitated before answering.
“If so,” he said at last, “then
I am a coward. I am running
away because I have already seen
too much of destruction. The pat
tern is familiar to me; an associa
tion of things that should remain
apart, a disnssociation of things
that should remain together.”
He stood for a moment, his ex
pression remote, Inscrutable. Then,
with a visible effort, he thrust
aside what had absorbed him, and
smiled.
"Perhaps the members of this
party are destined to survive,” he
said, “together with a few others

til he's 20. he may improve.” said
Dr. Harvey Collance, deputy medi
cal superintendent at the Kings
County Hospital. "There are cases
of that kind in the medical rec
ords."
Louie is a quick-witted, cheerful,
j intelligent boy. Somehow he has
[ learned the odds are against him.
but he discounts the odds.
sure he’ll make it, And hundreds
of New Yorkers who never saw
him have helped keep the small,
dark-haired kid alive through
blood donations to the Brooklyn
Red Cross.
He talked about his future as he
lay there waiting for his dad to
come and take him home.
“When wnen T I prow grow nn up l m going

take the first steps into Nirvana.
Perhaps, when the catastrophe is
over, we will know why it had to
happen. Or perhaps we too will
perish. We will find out soon

“You mean it’s going, to happen
right away?"
“Very soon."
“WJjio found out about it?”
He shook his head.
“Science has Its sleuths," he
said. “And secrets »re for sale.
I advise you to let it go at that.
I have. Or perhaps it would be
better If you were to disbelieve
altogether what you have been
told. Laugh up your sleeve. Do
your work. Accept your salary.
Enjoy the ride.”
He reached out suddenly and
patted her shoulder.
“Pleasant dreams,” he said. "You
will feel differently tomorrow.”
Mrs. Malone lay awake most of
the night. Just before dawn, ex
hausted by futile questioning of
herself, she fell asleep.
r PHE trailer was In motion when
Mrs. Malone awoke. She drew
bock the curtains and looked out
upon the familiar desert. Her
watch said that it was already
8:30. Hurriedly she dressed.
In the kitchen she found the
Marchese, preparing breakfast. He
wore pyjamas made of cream-col
ored silk, a brown silk robe and
a muffler. His feet were thrust
Into leather sandals.
He explained cheerfully that
Mrs. Everson’s temper was touchy
in the morning. She wasn’t fit for
human companionship until after
she had her coffee. He alone could
make it to suit her taste.'It must
be black, clear, piping hot. Neither

Mrs. Malone had to admit she
felt better. The familiar smell of

good health and balance. All of
these factors served to erase the
terrors of the night before.
Mrs. Malone was a woman who
enjoyed happiness; she took no
pleasure in trivial melancholy or
in self-pity. She had known sor
row and had given away to grief,
but not for long. Now she bounced
from' the depths to the level of
familiar experience, catching hold
of the ingenious devices men had
contrived to save themselves time
and labor—the coils and pyrex
containers snd controlled explo
sions and water jets.

“If you like. Only don’t make

“No, sir.”

V4RS. EVERSON was sitting
Turk-fashion on her bed. She
wore a nightgown so transparent
that Mrs. Malone was embar
rassed. In spite of the ventilator*
and whirring fans, the narrow
room was full of cigaret smoke.
“Good morning, Madam."
‘Tut the tray here beside me,”
Mrs, Everson said. (
Her eye* hovered hungrily over
the dishes. She lifted covers,
turned back the folded napkin
which enclosed two slices of hot
toast.
“You’ve forgotten the fruit
juice,”
"The gentleman didn’t say —"
Mrs. Malone began. “I’m sorry.
At once, Madam.”
“See that it isn’t too cold. And
