The woman was thin--little more

O'Reilly stood rooted, staring at her

numbers of understood figures In the
square, but one needed to look twice
to realize that they were not pygmies
or wizened little old folks. 1t was not
strange that Jacket had compared
them to gourds with legs, for all were
swollen into the likeness of pods or
calabashes. They looked peculiarly
grotesque with their spidery legs and
thin faces.

 members of the merchants committee gratified. to have the line running north through the Grosvenordales. That Putnam was losing trade from Grosvenordale and North Grosvenor- dale goes without saying. Inyestiga- tions showed traffic to be 75 per cent. heavier into Webster On the cars from GrosvenoraaIe since the strike began, and the only explanation of this in- crease was that former Putnam trade was going to Webster. Webster mer- chants realized this fact. and were on the alert. aiming not onl yto serve the increased customers well during the strike, but to retain them as perma nent customers, if this. were possible. The buses Monday farried many and a laIee number of these came from North Grosvenordale. Since the strike began. people from that village could reach Putnam only son. and then waiting there until a jitney came that would bring them here.
