HOUSE iM -- j ( fJOTrtiNS- - j AA heres a tale from Mrs. Alma Heyer of Red Bank J. a tale of horror that might' keep you awake nights, and a tale of a womans bravery that I cant help but admire. You know, they say women are the weaker sex. They say that they lack courage. But when the life or the safety of a child anybodys child is in the picture, a woman, nine times out of ten, will prove herself braver than any man that ever lived. I dont think there are many men who would have done what Alma Heyer did on a bright July afternoon in 1927, when Death stalked through an estate in Middletown, N. J., in the shape of a beast with bloody, tearing fangs. And as a matter of fact, I dont think there are so very many women who would have done it either. AND ,1. J SMATTER By C. M.
