peering into the depths of his closet.
The hole was hardly visible. This
meant that the book he had pushed
across 1t from the other side had not
been removed

by Sweetwater; but In the stiffness

broke into silent invective against the

a state of such rage as few men could
meet without quailing, even were they
of his own stature, physical vigor and
