The Science Of Borrowing.

vcrsation it was proposed that they
should 90 to the "Maison dor" and
enjoy tirst-class breakfast. "Wcll

nave YOU! 2" "Thrcc." EiShy
francs will never do for the royal
mcal we desire. so We had better
abandon the idea" Where is your
father 2" asked the friend. ITEMS
I forgot; he will lend me twenty
francs" and off rushed Dumas fis to
the author of the Three Guards
men." Ten minutes after he re-
turned laughing heartily. WELL"
said the chum, "did he give it to
you?" NO." answered Dumas

before lie could step back the snake
dartcd forward and v.ciouslv attacked

Mr.. Dunbar at length freed him self

The snai:e was foilcd, erected its head
