a frontage not TO exceed forty feet.
The lower windows were boarded up,

enough for the passage Of a motor
truck. was tightly secured by an i'm

right alone offered any possibility of
entrance, although il was tightly
closed
To all outward appearances the
place had been unOccupied for months,
and perhaps years. From the sidewalk
it was impossible TO gain any glimpse
within. Only one discovery served to
convince me that l might be on the
right track-that l had not been en-
tirely deceived. A small sign, so COW
