even Of death itself.
The Quay point of view about death
was shown by an intensely dramatic re-

Quay entered the ONCE, sank into a
big leather chair. and remarked in an
undertone that his time had about come.
Knox tried to make light Of his condition.

Inere was silence for a moment and
then Quay raised himself up to make
the remark that sent little shivers down
the spines of the two or three persons
who heard him.
With one rigid. but trembling hand up
lifted. he turned to Knox. and SO intense

farmer.
