always marked by the arrival Of crowd Cd hagers-on
who swarm around the place in the hope of finding
permanent employment or, at the least, lighting on an
occasional chance job. One OF this class was youEg

into the liquor-store through the trapdoor, looked
down into the cellar and asked what on earth

decisive. There a binding fash Of light followed
by ear-splitting report. Delaney sat down the
