grocery. But I git by, an' the

Don't ,forgit -to write that down,
Tell 'em I said that."
A gray gull gliding over the
water gave a harsh cry; a school
of minnows flashed silver in the
pool, I had started toward the
car when Will called, "Az long
as a man don't lose hope, an' as
long es he's got faith in God, it
don't matter how lonely he gits,
make it, Tell 'ern that too,
son."
I waved and started the car
up the hill, I wondered what
kind of world this would be it
populated exclusively by Will
Tracys, Probably not much pro-
gress would be made, I thought.
But I was certain that there
would be little strife; much of
man's Inhumanity to man would
doubtless cease.
At Tower Hill, where River
Road meets the main highway,
I looked back at Will Tracy's
place. In the distance it resem-
bled a child's play house, sprawl-
ing in awkward, tumbling diser-
erey.. And beyond the house flow-
ed the winding river with its
man-made sand bars and muddy
water.
I nosed the car ahead thinking
of the stories I had heard about
Will. The landmarks of civiliza-
tion were going by: ugly gasoline
stations, garish billboards, ornate
restaurants and motels. A car,
filled. with speed-minded vaca-
tioners roared by, the resultant
air 'concussion causing my car to
veer sharply. It was then. —
surprisingly,— that I heard my-
self muttering: "Will Teacy, I
really believe 'you've got some-
thing."—By Dean 'P.'Gutman in

Bill Doherty, a crime reporter
on' The Chicago Tribune, had a
busy day on his beat recently.
His, car windows were smashed,
he was slugged; and he was
chased by an uncooperative sub-
ject pointing a gun and threaten-
ing: "I'll kill you and yopr whale
family,"
The episode began when Do-
herty's city editor, Clayton Kirk-
patrick, told him to drop• by the
$70,000 home of Sam DeStefano,
a shady Chicago cbaraetere, who
had been missing from public
view for a while. Kirkpatrick
wondered idly. what' DeStefano'.

Doherty had exposed, .DeStefano
as the "juice ,man" (moneylend-
er) to Chieago's underworld. At
that time, DeStefano, unirniefess-
ed by free publicity,' 'had 'men-
tioned he might impair Doherty's
health in the future, So Bill Do-
herty was the logical man to
check on Sani DeStefano'ihealth.
Doherty drove to DeStefano's
Northwest Side home, rang the
doorbell, and askedfor DeStefano.
Clad in white pajamas, the white-
haired DeStefano greeted Doher-

with a left. Thee host scrambled.
toward the kitchen, where he
kept a loaded revolver, and the
guest scrambled toward the door.
After dropping his car keys, Do-
herty ran to a drugstore; called
The Tribune, and asked for po-
lice help. Then he walked out-
side,
"All of a sudden," he told an-

into an alley and escaped, Later,

The following, day, DeStefano
was indicted for assault, with in-

some mental arithmetic. "That

Then, suddenly, his tone be-
came somber.
"But things ain't the same since
the river got built up," he de-
clared, shaking his head. "In

when seepage and oil and all

He complained bitterly of speed
