To Joe il had been merely an act or

ply a spree. But the leaders at the Re

and when they got over their paralyZed
astonshment at the returns, they inves-
tigated to find out what il meant. Some
body told them that il represented the
work OF young man named Joseph
Murray. Accordingly they sent for him.
The room in which they received him was
doubtless some place like Morton Hall.
and the men who received him were akin
to those who had leadership in Morton
Hall, but In Joe's eyes they stood for
higher civilization. for opportunity, Tor

He was by nature as straight man, az

duty in the public service and became de-
