Greene county, with load of wood

She don't do anything else," re-

be very careful how you move around
this hardware. Twas only last
week, sir, that a promising young
man from Oxford, q student at Cor
lege, there, was drawn into that
very card, sir, and before assistance
could reach him, he was ruin through,
and manufactured into No. 16, super

"I s-s-wow! / believe you're
joking !" suffered Jonathan.

five punches of that same yarn as

A sense of personal danger shot
across our hero's mind he began to
retreat precipitately without waiting
for an answer. But there was not
much room to spare between himself
and the gearing of tho card behind.
Another step backwards completed
the ceremony of introduction. His

them up in hard knot was no ways
