reproachable secretary. Fancy the

they perused these astounding revelations.

an emissary TO get the letters He got them
and burned them on a meat block IN the

Whewl After the concentrated gush In
the above il is difficult to get on with the
play. However, the Sentinel can stand IL if
the audience can. The directors OF the

Mr.. Childs has devoted his attention 10 CON

Mr. Childs Is supposed 10 have taken about
SD. 900 with him. As far as can be learned
his business affairs are all straight. He was
interested in several lines OF business. one
of which was the printing house of
Baker Schmidlap & CO., in which
two of his brother-inlaw are part
ners His wife is in comfortable cirCum-
stances having property in her own
right, and the boys are well situated. Mrs
Robinson had no children, and her husband,

guilty pair will probably not be
pursued, and will eventually prove a pun
