she was spoiIed-said to Uucie JAMES
one day.

To Put-in-Bay they went, then q

and consequently thoroughly eDjoya-

nowadays that get 'em mixed up.
About the same time a wise, grey
haired. rich old lawyer said to the
slim, dark-haired, brilliant, and power
ty-stricken young man he had just
taken into his office as working part

"We'll go to Put-in-Bay for a

At little hotel at Put-in-Bay, one
morning, Natty B rton looked up
from her breakfast plate, and encount'

black eyes fixed keenly upon bel
