"Is that HIM?" he demanded of Uncle Glenn in an awestruck whisper. That bent and bronzed factotum nodded 8 mysterious assent. Claudia and Ben exchanged surprised and somewhat guilty glances. Then Ben asked frankly; "Well. what about me, little man?"
 Can you kill nine birds out of ten shots?"
 "Ycs, sometimes"
 Gan you talk the birds off the hr2nchcs?' he demanded with expec- tant faith Neither Claudia's watchful scrutiny nor Uncle Clem's gargoyle grin offered solution to this, So Ben answered evasvely:

During his rapid, rushing career fragments of l Claudia's life came to him casually; her husbands meteoric rise as a finan- cier, the unexpected transfer of his interests and operations to Quebec, his death more than year since This much all knew, but only Claudia knew how her husband had isolated her in Ionesome New York while he pursued that Will O Wisp of Wall Street. pur- sued quick gain even into shady places whose miro left q stain which forced

An! the agonies of humiliation and homesickness> she had endured in that cold Canadian city set high on a pltiless rock! only the softening love and affectionate restraint of her little son had enabled ' her to bear 1t.

 This extemporaneous effort satls- fled Milton and amused Claudia, but Uncle cIen was rather startled at this partial confirmation of his idle boast to the eredulous child. Muttering and shaking his head dubiously, the old man gathered up the holly and insstIs- toe and started homeward
