Nandcventcr threw back his head
and laughed. The other man turned II
little red. The chief engineer observed
the CLINT in his new friends eye.
I'm not exactly laughing at you" he
explained, "but at the singular lack of
invcntiveneSs of the American. We
have at least thirty Smiths out of two
hundred men on our pay roll, and it is
bit confusing. Would you mind Sc

And that Is how Bertram Meade, a

from, out of touch with, the life he had
led. He wished to go to some place
where he could be practically alone,

could do that Just as well, perhaps bet.
