With the stoieal indiffer eEce of his kind he sat quietly back il II the car. fnd only started slightly wher HI the electric lights were suddenly turned H O., about the streets. Spo Pee was takei Il to local hotel, and there he met man, Il newspaper men, senators and representa- HI tiyes who were attracted to him by hi H strange story.
