tative pourparlers in this direction
have actually been opened. but the pa
per's informant considered that 1T was
more likely to be absorbed by the Nor

and we shook hard. Somehow we were
different to each other from that mo-
ment. He's a fine old lad l tell you?
the only time l ever got a word from
him that wasn't kind was afterward,
when l tried to give him a hint that
Santiago might not be meaning square
by us. He wasn't the least bit ugly
then, only chilly and hurt. You don't
understand Sanity" says he, being of
a different country. l wouldn't say no
more about that Johnny" When he
said. very quietly, Il wouldn't say no
more about that" if you had an ounce
of sense in your head you knew it was
time to stop. And he never had a
word against Santiago to this day.
Don't speak of him, that's all. The
Chileno got on his blind side. some
way, for Capt. Bill Perkins was one
shrewd man in most matters. You
wouldn't fool him in a good many

him, 1 tell you that-the compound,
triple extract of man. Knut was a
funny lad. Most of the time as gentle
as an old woman, but he had fits when
he wasn't much better than a lunatic.
His cheek bones stuck out in knobs,
and when his bad spell was on him,
there'd be a red spot-bright red-on
each cheek bone. Then he'd take his
fiddle when he was off duty and slide
