YOU know, boys and girls, somewhere in these United States there's a big, soft? voiced Texas cowboy, and if you know anybody like that, tell him that Winifred McEvoy is looking for him. No? don't get me wrong now. Winifred isn't looking for that guy to collect a bill, or to bawl him out for that tough cut of Texas bee! she got from the butcher shop last week. She wants to thank that eowpuncher for s little favor he did her once ? a little favor that she will never i forget as long as she lives. And back of that favor lies a story ? an adventure story of the first water. This yarn goes back to 1924, when Winifred, with her husband and her three-year-old baby boy, was living In England. At that time, a bunch of American cowboys were staging a rodeo at the Crystal Palace In London, and they had the whole doggone conservative town talking about the capers they cut up and the monkeyshining they did, at hours when the show was all over and they were supposed to be In bed for the night. Those cowpnnchers rode down the busiest streets In London, on horseback, ?t full gallop, letting out "yips" and "whoopees" until the Londoners' ears rang. They lassoed the hats off of London cops, and dropped their lariats on the necks of London gentlemen, wrinkling their immaculate collars, and discom posing them most horribly, bah Jovel Winifred McEvoy thought they were a bunch of roughnecks ? and so they were. I mean, It takes a roughneck to reason with a regiment of cows. Few college professors have ever made a success of It Cowboys Were Wild and Fearful Creatures to Her. Winifred never expected to meet one of these cowboys face to face. If one of them had come up and rung her front door bell, she'd have run screaming for the police. That's how scared she was of those wild and woolly westerners. But one day she did meet one ? and she has never hqd any cause to regret It Now It so happened that the whole McEvoy family were pretty keen on aviation. Winifred's husband had been an officer in the Royal Air Force and had flown a sky buggy all through the Wortd war. And after this thing I'm going to teil you about had happened, he said that he'd often been scared during the war, but he'd never run across anything In the line of fright like the terror he felt just a second or two before that big Texas cowboy went into action. There was a big aeronautical exhibition staged at Bendon, In July, 1924, and the McEvoys went up to see It At that time, Uendon was Just a big field, with no modern facilities for safeguarding the crowds that came to see the ex hibition. Nothing but a rope separated the spectators from the field, and Wini fred and her husband were standing at that rope, well up in the front of the crowd. Interestin' Doin's Take Their Minds From Baby. They had their little boy with them, too? Winifred's husband was holding him in his arms. The little fellow didn't like that very much, though. He kep* "I Saw a Rope Settle Down Around That Baby Form." laying: "Want to sit down," and after a while, Winifred's husband set him on the ground between him and his wife. Then he became absorbed In the ex hibition again. Winifred was absorbed In that exhibition, too. She, herself, had been attached to a flying unit during the war, and she was as Interested in aviation as her husband. Planes were zooming and stunting all over the field, landing and taking off so faat you could hardly keep count of them. And the next thing Winifred knew, she looked down to where her baby should have been ? where she could have sworn he was ? and ? well ? he Just wasn't there. Frightened, Winifred cast a quick glance out across the field. And there she saw something that fairly made her heart stop beating. A plane had Jnst landed and was taxiing to a atop fifteen or twenty feet away from the ropes behind which she was standing. And toddling across the field right into the path of the plane was ? her little boy. Youngster Wanders Into Jaws of Sudden Death. Says Winifred: "I was terrified. In one horrible second, I could see tbnt tiny, beloved figure cut to pieces by the whirling propeller blades. I knew I couldn't get to my baby In time to do any good? and the roar of the plane would prevent even my voice from reaching him. "Crying my husband's name, I attempted to clamber under the ropee, when I heard a quietly compelling voice that even reached my hysterical underatanding. The voice said: 'Don't get excited. Ma'am,' and then I saw something happen that I didn't think poasible. "I felt a Jerking movement beside me, heard a swishing sound and saw a rope settle down around that baby form. In a fraction of a second, he was pulled to the ground and dragged to safety, ont from under the whirling blades of the propeller. A Life-Line Floats in From Heaven. "It all happened so swiftly that the crow (who were craning their necks at a particularly daring exhibition up above) didn't realize what had occurred. As I reached for my baby, the rope waa deftly fiicked from around bis body. He was slightly disheveled, but quite unhurt. And by the time my husband and I realized that we really had a son, our cowboy friend was gone. "I had a hazy recollection of a very large Stetson, strong hands on a rope, and a wonderful voice? but we were never able to find our baby*a reacuer. I hope? If this story is every published? that thct quiet voiced man will see It, and I know that he hae the constant prayers and gratitude of a widowed mother, who haa now only the son he aaved for her."
