His back wus toward her, he hn-l spoken ever his shoulder, his hat was half-way te his heud, his hand en the unoe or the deer. Before the deer opened she spoke ngnin: "Majer Curmlchnel " Then with barely a pause ".lie brought out her trump card : "Hew is the moor ing matt going en?" A Man's Place His Meering Mast! His singlu purpose in life, his new 'nedcl of a must! Ah, hew that get him! What had his mooring mnst for air hips te de with her, or she with it?
