1877. Charade, by F. NJ. s..
An ancient race of highest fame
That branches down to present time.
That's kept distinct in blood and name
II wrongly spelled will be the prime.
You gave a call to a dry-goods store;
Be sure you know for what you went;
Think of something tolerably near
The place and act OF next gives scent
when very cold and blowing hard
You dodge behind some work or cover
You've got the side that vessels guard
A patent word Of third the solver
II in this word you find it not
Then make a Yane like apparatus
Twill show you our unsheltered spot
The losing half u AppomatoX.
Whole is year of liberation
For people OF ancient date:
What clarion for our nation
Is AppomatoXs fallen state

cit, in California town In Nevada a city in
Illinois bay on the coast of California city in
California a country in Africa; y river in Cafor-
MIA.
AS this is new style OF puzzle, some
explanation is due Tanglers. What Gospel
Swamp means by beheading and curtailIng
and using the initials of the parts of
words is, that the initials and finals of
the words after being curtailed and be-
headed are to be used to make up the
s:rostical answer

over Nightingale 80 often, and knew so
well that Philomel was one name for that

to Father Adam often in the Quiet Hour.
Strange, when he is considered such a

the new idea of leaving tie names of the

see how wide from the mark some aim. Do

mindful Of that coy conner, nor unsppre-
ciative OF words to Sibyl. thank my !
friends for their kindly remembrance
Slbyl has not told her fortune as Hattie |
Heath surmised. I've noted all the |
changes in our circle, and rejoiced at the
return of each one long absent. I've |
missed Amethyst ever so much, and tried !
to forgive her for saying that flattered. !
Indeed, Amethyst dear, the picture
draw OF you now is quite as pleasant as
the former one-that of lovely wife and
mother, and wish you would return IT,
the Quiet Hour. | thanked Trinity in
my heart for solving F. NJ. SIS puzzle
