by ice covering the cables.
A suitable foundation for each tow

Colonel Roosevelt was plainly dis
concerted when he stepped down from

said, "but | don't see why ! should

Mr.. Graham had approached the
colonel so quietly that for a moment
or two there were but few who were
aware that he was challenged.
You're a busy man, colonel, the
lawyer said, "and we will excuse
YOU
Explaining later why he had chal-
lenged the colonel, the lawyer said
"He is a busy man and | think he
