"You'll see something worth while." And Bruce did. Concealed in a bout, he saw tho crew, under orders fruin the captain, dumping tho perfectly good grain into the lake. It was so that Dodson's men were eroatlug the. Shortage be was using ns his'excuse for raising the price of bread to the poor-t: .This Bruce knew would nerve "I've ordered tho price back. For God's Sake take thom away," paid Dodson. his cause; the facts - would speak for themselves. And he had a y ma ll cam era with him. with wblcU be took pho tographs" of tho dumplug.
