For second the two men looked at

Aikness shrank back into his chair, his
mouth tWitChing painfully. There was
a streak of yellow in this big man. No
body knew this better than Golly Oaks,
who lived by his knowledge of men.

that's needed to prove she's Della Pat

With a tremendous effort the captain
mastered his rage and sat down
You're a funny fellow" he said.
THE thing I can't understand about
you, Golly, is why you allowed that old
lady to bully YOU"
Speak well of the dead" said Golly,
evenly. THAT was her privilege gave
her four hours every day when she
could roast the life out of me, but the
other twenty she walked on tiptoe. I'll
tell you something, Aikness-she slept
behind locked door many time and
she always had a loaded gun under
her pillow. Did you know that? And do
you know why she had a loaded gun?
1t was in case she said something that
hurt my feelings. She cast reflections
on my voice once-and had a servant
sleeping in her room for a month after
ward Mum knew me-" He smiled, as
though he were recalling a pleasant
memory. People who get to know me
don't make any mistakes. I hope you
know me, Captain"
Sure I do Golly," said Aikness. but
the geniality in his voice was patiently
assumed.

be done that night. Every other fiat

today with fractional declines in

Corn turned weak with wheat and

up, and oats were Is to % cent down
A few light showers in the north

prices at Liverpool and the market
here followed with a fractional de-
cline. Later trade though dull
rallied the market to a somewhat
higher level. The cash basis was un-
changed at midday Exports were
reported as slight Receipts at this
market were fifty cars estimated.
Selling of corn early on the weak

Spot grain was unchanged to 4

Oats maintained a firm tone dur
