Harding gazed greedily at the wealth
beyond his widest dreams that Colo
mel Stanley had reused him from his
6tful slumber to pour into his lap.
Hagar, reused from her fevercd
dreams. felt her babe being lifted from
her bosom. The rural gypsy husband
and father seized her by the throat as
she feebly struggled. He gagged and

Over the gypsy campfire within the
sound of human call from Stanley

herself loose from her bonds. Like q

husband and demanded her child.
