ROD REFLECTS
But what about the Wolf? Would
he continue to modest him? He was
sure that the gangSter would never
be content until he had gotten his
revenge on him. What should he do
about it? Tell the police? That
wouldn't do much good, he decided.
The only thing for him to do would
be to evade any traps the gangster
might lay for him by being very,
very careful.
(: The worried youth threw open one

and the warm fragrance OF spring
swept into his room, creating in him
a vague sense of melancholy, and
q sharp yearning for the quiet peace
of the ranges,
S;hy he should feel as he did. Had
he not succeeded in holding his own
since he had been in the city? Had
he not won the favor OF the most
beautiful girl he'd ever seen? And
were his prospects for making money
not the best?
He shrugged his shoulders and,
whistling tunelessly, went to phone

got her, -
