A few minutes after Kenner had ex-.
plodediia information at the office old
Hanks came in. i He-was pale, and his
skin looked as dry As old parchment,
but he was ; eating roasted- peanuts,
breaking the husks with steady, prong
like finger-nails." . He sat down with
out a word and dropped a handful, of
hulls Into the stove. -
"Jim," he said suddenly-: to Kennerj,
"what did you ever, do about that ac
count Bill Haskill was a-owin you?":
"I got It yet," said Kenner, throwing
a knowing smile around the room.
