was for this season, says Pason, that
an attempt was made to get rid. of

made the proposition to me similar to
the one I nad heard over the Dhone
earlier in the month from some other
msn whose voice I think I know. After
some hesitation I accepted the offer.
At once I communicated with Mr. Hart
man the arrangement I had decided
