Why have you allowed this long period to elapse before you took steps to regu- larize your position? These are first questions that occur to' me.

Being modest withal, he would not claim to he a superdog. The fact was that life at Modse Lake demanded the exercise of certain qualities or one did not live. And that, as they say in the Northwest, was all there was to it. Panton's new friend was peculiarly useful.
