transacted to the entire satisfaction

company with Smyler, undertook
to do little examining on his own
hook, and singled out curly-head~
ed le]low tor the experiment.
"What's your name, young gem

"Jacky, thir."
"Ab! How many letters arc
there in the English alphabet,

old gentleman Looked in a regular
educational fix. A CLEAN as OF g.

peat the letters while I count: you'll
