 "Get outw Granlin cried wrath fully. "Get out, Raynor. before I"
 Raynor looked up at him casu- ally. ''Yeah, I said steal. A. fund to help paroled convicts," he mocked. Even Aunt Anna was smart to that"
 ''Let me assure you" the lawyer said sharply, "that your aunt did not retain any doubt of my sim cerity for long. The suddenness of her death alone prevented my reinstatement as her legal adviser"
 ''Still, you weren't reinstated. And now we're both out in the cold. She left me one lousy buck outa all that money. And me her nearest relative"
 Not very, near" Granlin re- minded him. 'Only your adoption by her sister gave you the slightest claim, so I don't see any injustice. Now, if you will, please" he indi- cated the door.
 Raynor only settled deeper into the chair, 1T figure you're the one guy to break that will. Being her mouthpiece for ten years, you oughta be able to prove she was nuts without any trouble"
 "On the contrary, my relations with her convinced me that she was an intelligent woman. Aside from her unusual generosity, there was nothing"
 Don't you seer" Raynor struck the desk irritably. That's the an- gle. We can use her crazy chari- ties as proof" He grinned. Might even explain that she was about convinced on your racket"
 "I'm sorry, Raynor, but I'm too busy to listen to any more of your insinuations or wild ideas. Both my ethics and the fees I re- quire-"
 'I thought you'd get around to the dough pretty soon," the other sneered. "All right, I'll cut you in for enough to quiet those precious ethics of yours. How about $2.000?"
 1.-TWO thousand!" His voice was a shrill wall. "Take a chance on disbarment for that? Impossible
 Raynor smiled wryly, T expected that, shyster. We'll, I'll raise the ante a little, then. But remember, Pm no chump."
 How much? 2" Tn two words l Granlip summed up his life.
 Five thousand. If and when the will is tossed out. A deal?"

 Granlin snapped his brief-case shut. Well, you still get an eighth of million. 1 swing the deal for you and what do I get? must have been insane to agree to that fee!'
 The thought still rankled after a night of greedy resentment. Gram lin sat in his office and fumed.sA measly five thousand out of a niil- lion dollars! He turned beliiger- ently at an interruption.
 "I'm the one to be blamed" the visitor said, as he noted Graniin scowling at his secretary. II insist ed on coming in unannounced.
 What do you want?" the lawyer asked surlily. More prattling about perjury and unethical meth- ods because your precious college lost out?"

 But" Granlin's lips twisted trI. umphantly. "the courts decision eliminates that. No document signed at that date would have any value. There may be some neces. sary formality to go through, but that will is as invalid as the first. Not worth the paper it's written on!' -,e ..S

 LECION'S STAND
Directs DramatizatiOn of Senatorial Probe of
 Munitions Makers

A sketch dramatizing the sena- torial investigation of the muni- tions manufacturers was given yes- terday afternoon at the YMCA forum under the direction of Rev Mulford SimonsOn of the Grace Methodist church, Waterville. Mir Simonson told of the manufacture CTS sending supplies to the border countries during the war, which were eventually used by the Ger. mans. He said that the administi a. ton was reluctant to pursue the investigation but did so because of a fear that the republican party, through Senators Nye and Vanden- burg would receive full credit. He praised the stand taken by the American Legion and other veter- ans organizations on restriction of the intuition makers.
 The officials represented and those who took their parts were as follows: Senator Nye. Mir Simon- son; Senator Vanderberg, Fred E. Book; investigator for the com mittee. Laurence Vibbert: repre- sentative of the DuPont Company, George Hornbecker; representative of the federal laboratories. Merton Hornbecker: representative of the United Aircraft Exports, Charles Probert; representatives of the Curtiss- Wright Company. Howard Grilley and Arthur H. Twelves.

WINNER OF STAMP
 | CONTEST SELECTED
Robert Carpenter, High School Student, Given
 First Prize

Robert C.. Carpentier, of 51 Mo- hawk street, is the winner of the contest sponsored by the s. $. Kresge company and the Water bury Democrat for the most inter- esting letter on the value of stamp collecting. Robert Is 16 years old and Leavenworth high school student. He may obtain his prize, a special block of 750 stamps, by calling at Kresge's South Main street store and asking for MT O'Connor.
 His letter follows:
 "A stamp collection tends to make one keenly alert and observ- ing. It ,sharpens one's sense of ob- and familiariZes one with the distant places of this earth. Be- sides, ti brings constant pano- rama of history, science, invention. art, literature. people. and all that goes to make up the world and the faces of postage stamps.
 "A stamp collection is not merely a collection of stamps. It is col lection of stories, scenes and sym bols., It Is virtually a miniature art gallery with an international fla vor.
 Tt is not how many stamps one collects. now how much they are worth that matters. but rather what ones stamps mean to one in the form of enjoyment, informa- ton and inspiration. A collection of 5000 varieties of postage stamps may be worth only $25 to sell. and yat renresnut tO ifs owner thOIi. sands of dollars in interest"
