cannot dismiss the curiosity that abides with us, We
pisply mist kiow what is in tie parcel left by Miss Tuggle. Perhaps
automatics! But no. . . 79 were ‘haraly aware that she had » parce)
when she entered the institution. Tiere hod been @ rumor, spread by
Lane, thet John Capone was sending his brother “some things". Ne had
no idea then what these “things” nicht be. Cf course, one wouldn't
suspect Wiss Tuzgle of carrying in contrabend!
However, any of a scoro of guards could have passed it to
her aftor she ertered. And, we conclude, as we watch Doc unwrap the
parcel, that had it been anything dangerous he would be more careful.
As it is, he ects with the greatest of case.
A sweat shirt canes into view. A white cep! A can of

strategetic places that only confusion of the innate intending to station
himself at one (if and when needed) would rake thes useless.

folded and stuffed in his hip pocket, and the cylindrical tin of tennis
balls (conteining three balls) stuffed between iis b:]ted pants and back.
Yet, as wo watch hin proceeding towards the basenent, we
would not drean that he has onc contraband thing on bis personl
Through Lane they reach Capone!
The sijnificance of this transaction is lost sight of as, rest-
lesa and in search of something nore interesting, we hang by one leg to the
lighted boudoir la=p aver Capone's bunk. He is reading--and his interest
