And'. while, perhaps, it was not what they would call good form for me to lose my temper and go at them with may fists,'I was fighting mad when 1 thor ougbly sensed their dirty project. Any- way, it helped bring them to time. When you take a man of that type and cuff him around with your two hands he's apt to listen serious to what you say. And they listened when I told. tbem in dead earnest next day that Whitey Lewis and his partners must have what was due them, or I'd wreck the bunch of them if it took ten years and every dollar I had to do it. And I could have put them on the tramp, too -they'd already dipped their fin- gers in where they couldn't stand liti- gation. I'tn sure of that -or they would never have come through; which they did.

And Granville, like most other cities of its kind, lives by and for that sort of thring. The pressure of modern life makes it inevitable. Anyway, a town is no place for use.
