George Trafford, whose late father, Andrea?' Trafford, had shared the fam- ily elevation, was equal now to taking his uncle's place in everything but the :supreme command.

George Treffora, wbo bad only a counection by affinity witb the great finaueler, threw up her head with admiration when the trumpet was biowu in his praise. Paula herself felt a strange °epees - glen about the heart. Like the rest of the Traffords, she had set up the man wbo had made them what they were as a eine of demigod.
