sources such as theirs. If these re-
sources had made Rawn. they could
unmake him. 1t was all in the days
work for them.

residence. Didn't Rawn tell you that?'
mol What's up now-some trouble
with a woman? Wasn't he married to
Rawns daughter?"
Yes. and she went to live with
Papa. Papa had the coin"
And the superintendent is going
