Hnrst at 9 a. m; for Mr.. Thorne break
tasted early, and his daughter presided,
Mrs. Thorne being a sluggard. Not
drum was heard, not pandean note
was heard as they stepped brskly
along; the gingerbread husbands were
covered up from the dust the merry
go rounds were still; the clown was
mending his dress the donkeys break
tasted frugally on each others names
the fire eater was trying diet OF bacon,
bread and garlic for a change. Busl,

The gypsy examined Cissy's hand,
and began making shots-centers
through, most; bulls eye, some.
"You are an only child, and your
father and mother would give you
gold to eat, If you wanted it; when q
child you were in great peril from a
