started and turned. They had not

Don looked up az her. what

Pats turned to the lawyer. His
leering smile stitfened.

"Oh. no he didn't." Pats insist

Don got to his fees. He moved
toward the door. And that Will

Mr.. Bradloyich licked his dry
lips. 81 rather think we still have
a case" he said. Obviously his
slice of the damages was not TO
be relinquished without strug-

"Oh, Lord" Don ran his
