much work OF love as of duty ; their
reward was, not simply the dollars of the

stand shoulder to shoulder in the battle of life.

to quite fair degree of responsibility
Considering the condition of this elias
when it came into their hands, Mr.. {
thought so arduous work as 80 had az
complished was worthy of high common

quest that SO leave them their Hami

habits, if not their sparkling propensitie
