Ordinarily Mr.. Cullen was satisfied
to bring single evening paper home
with him and when he laid 1t on the
hall table 1t was generally creased
down the financial page; but tonight
he brought two. and each Of them had
wrinkles across the market reports
and were folded so as to feature the
departments devoted to local news.
The Journal had beaten the Herald by
two sticks and q subhead. but the Her.

stated explicitly where Hilllard was

would have been seriously offended II
he hadn't been mentioned at least once

that he cherished a lively anticipation
