attenuated individual with long nose, as he
carefully clutched the sanctum door, The

The yearning, anxious CLEAN faded from
the thin mans eyes, and an expression OF con-
tent crept slowly over his face. He stepped
feartully forward and sat down ON a couple of
inches of the rickety chair that kept for the

blood thirsty-"I am poet outside of the

sound Of the ruthless crushing Of bones, and
as the Office boy cleared up the remains with
blottng pad the editor calmly proceeded to
demolish the new reporters adjectives.
