for few days, genuine specimen Of the
untamcd Wolvcrine-onc of the rough,
hearty, backwoods style Of old fellows, bluff

than the brown orbs which Illuminated the
childish face of the petite Sienucse. The

was as big as half bushel, and then gazet
at her male companion in the prettiest O
puzzlements. Then she laughed a little
