and put it slowly back into the envcl-
opc. Then his gaze wandered through
window and to where golden
winged high-holer was hammering in
dustriously at the top branch Of n

and muttered aloud: 49,.

"Haw, haw, haw!" laughed the keen
cared and watchful hillmany in the
straight-back, chair behind him.
