when Harry's gaff came dangerously

Harry was too busy to answer.
Selling some flexible wire, he bent il
into circle. With a penknife he
gouged out one shining glass eye
from a specimen of Bolsover's Wab-

iron, he applied its nose to the ends
of the lead circle, and while the metal
was still soft, with forceps he set the
glass eye in place. The result was a
ring worth all of two or three cents

Harry. 'It doesn't. It's only good

"A victim of what?" she queried.
