had forgotten his researches. He
looked around him. His eye fell upon

which seemed to flow into his fingers
from the steel, into his blood, renew

as he bent his arm Then, holding
the weapon, he hesitated.
He seemed to realize in that mo-

On the one hand was his treasured

The 500 road is the most active of
any OF the upper peninsula roads in

8, 900 Dutch farmers came TO this
country. Many of them, he said, were
deceived by spectators and failed to

people through Baron van1ill. IN
