the HERALD Page Community News Wednesday September 25 This Sheriff stood his ground in the bedroom This is another Sheriff story I once seized a sparkling unpaid for diamond ring that was attached to a figure harder to ig than a ringing telephone When she opened her front door that lovely summer morning I was aghast to find her morning coffeeclub gathered in her living room There were six or seven lovely neighbor friends enjoying a friendly est Not to reveal my identity to her guests I whispered in her ear who I was and the purpose of my call The neighbors would know soon enough She was a wonderful hostess minted me in and even introduced me around without mentioning I was the Sheriffs right hand man Perhaps they thought I was an insurance man a vacuum cleaner salesman a secret lover but I shook everybody hand and tried to remember Sue Heather and so on You see in my line of work I might have to call on them sometime and it certainly helped MartinBrooks wedding The marriage of

a first name basis Before I stopped shaking the last hand she served me half and half coffee half in cup and half in the saucer The cup rattled in the saucer as she poured That tipped me off she knew what was coming Some wag once said The best way to get into trouble is to be right at the wrong time I had all the right documents but I had certainly arrived at the wrong time Two choices awaited me Wait out the neighbors or Attack I decided boldly to attack seize sparkler and get out P Q The closest room to me was the bedroom By this time the old adrenalin was flowing My nerves tingled As soon as she came close enough I asked her point blank to slip the bedroom with me She did Goodness the coffee was being splurted by the members back in to the cups saucers ash trays when my positive approach sunk in Maybe some of them thought they were going to rece ve he same invitation but there weie two that left in a hurry From in side the bedroom I heard the front door slam twice Have you eer been in a bedroom ith a very attractive woman I have The moment of dec was at hand and I must admit she was excited So was I Surely we all know in a situation like this that it not uncommon to breath heavy In the excite ment of the moment I could feel and hear the deep sounds from our chests Lord I was hoping the coffee clutch in the living room couldn detect what seemed to me the sound of a volcanic eruption within our breathing Now if you think shenffmg isn t exciting at times you are dead wrong This was as exciting as it gets Perspiration broke out over my upper lip my mouth was desert dry as I whispered there was something she had to take off It seemed Tike an eternity before she quietly asked If this was my first time at doing this I croak a mumbled yes She said It was the first for her too and she hoped it was the last From the living room was a death like silence Maybe they had an empty tumbler against the door I don know but if they did have some idea what was go ing on the neighborhood was go ing to have a lot of grist for their coffee mills at mid mornings At first inside her neat clean lovely boudoir anger flowed hen tears She gasped when I told her I had to show her something She said Please don t but it was my duty to show her I had the proper documentation I whipped out the warrant with the speed light Through her sodden eyes she scanned the papers then whispered She would take it off By George right before my eyes she gave me her most valuable possession Needless to say I was relieved with her cooperation Gently I shook her hand and departed faster than a speeding bullet Within the 15 day period her husband showed up with the money to reclaim the ring He was amazed that she sub nutted to my demands How did I do it On my job I replied you had to know when to apply the muscle and when to apply the soft soap I told him it was the soft soap that made her slip He invited me out for coffee I declined One coffee break in that family was enough for me 9 HEART AND STROKE FOUNDATION Of ONTARIO IMPROVING YOUR ODDS AGAINST CANADAS KILLER ONTARIO JUNIOR CITIZENS UP Do you know a young person aged to 18 years who is involved in worthwhile
