But that was not necessary. For as
the boy left the office he saw Tier
mans secretary entering the rotunda
from outside. In less than ten min
utes the secretary was fastening up
the lake at the maximum speed Of the
fastest launch which could be pro-

He found the copper king on the tree

On the ground lay four large fish, and

and he drew in and cOiled and cast the

The young man was bending over,
