Americans. Most of us were slightly
annoyed by their superficial differ

amazingly large families, or by their
poverty and the social and economic

CHAPTER XIII.
Gordon Suys a Revolver.

Selfridge was not eager to meet his
chief, but he knew he must report at
once. He stopped at his house only
long enough to get into fresh clothes
and from there walked down to the
Office.
1t had been the intention of Mac
donald to go direct from Sheba. to his
office, but the explosion brought about
by Meteetse had sent him out into the
hills for a long tramp. He was in
stress of furious emotion, and until
he had worked off the edge Of it by
hard mushing, the cramped civiliza-
ton Of the town stif1ed him.
Hours later he strobe into the office
Of the company. Wally lay asleep in
swivel chair, his fat body sagging
and his head fallen sideways in such
way as to emphasize the plump folds
of his double chin. His eyes opened.
They took in his chief slowly. Then,
in small panic, he jumped to his
feet.
