That reminded him Of a question he
had in mind to ask Roscoe. 1t was a

home there had been no opportunity.
He waited until the greater part Of
his days work was over, toward four
O'Clock, and then went down to Ros-
GOES office, which was on lower floor.
He found several men waiting for BUSH
ness interviews in an outer room Of
the series Roscoe occupied; and he sup
posed that he would find his son busy
with others, and that his question
would have to be postponed, but when
