OF pioneers, DeSota like-went with flying |
banners to take possession Of the new domain |
or prcfering less demonstrxtive style, they |
quietly. yet irres,stably moved over in the |
darkness OF border night. Sure they have |
not returned nor yet have they been sum- |
mariIy bounced by the ruthless smiling |
tary'' that anybody has heard Of.
