his discharge from the service. He
moupted the stand to give his testi-

noticed that the veteran general
watched him quizzically, as if trying
to recall something that had almost
passed from memory An incident

was an exchange Of greetings and

to the door. After giving Kirkpat-

He supposed that he put the call through all right and when swered and central politely informed him that the people at the other end did not know of any such person. MT. Mclean thought that it was a pretty good joke not to be known in his own office.
