en the fleer near the deer glittered and
reflected the light from the single, dim
incandescent. He lurched up from the
chair, nnd going toward the object,
snatched it up. It was Crang's re

"Net that way, cither!" said Lar Lar

Jehn Bruce brushed his Tiand across

"Ne, net that way, either," he re

He went back te the chair and sat
