Although It was late March. It was
still nipping cold. A ml tire roared in

eye ranging all the miscellaneous mer

the door oiened wide, and Merton

away
"Mr. Kaell, I bate come to ask you.

know well how It was given -with a
total misapprehension of the truth."
"You mean you want to take my

leave me, a cripple, to starve!" old Olb
roared.
Joe set bis teeth. "I mean nothing of

I will servo and earo for you us I would

"You won't get tho chance." old (Jib

Joe stood very straight. The others

Dr. Waters made a low Imjw. "If I

Merton dragged .lite forward. "If

"Humph! I knew he didn't have the
