kill me?'
Tut, tut! Don't talk nonsense. You
admit that you have no proof of
Willis's connection with the attempt
upon your life. You put yourself in the
way of danger when you hired scab
labor to break the strike. I think you
got off very easily"
IF Marsh was instructed to crush the
Independents, why has he centred all
his efforts on me alone? Why has he
spent this summer in Kalvik and not
among the other stations to the south?"
This is our business. Different
methods are required in different

Emerson 1eaped to his feet

"Well, l won't" Wayne Wayland's

Boyd Emerson's face went gray be-

threatened to break as he said
