an order from = young man Of this
city for y three-quarter inch dark

that young fellow, ever in an ordinary
ten-minute conversation, will close his
eyes ut least ten times to display his
long siiken lashes. If you will step

operating rooms" and entering a door
the Professor led the way through u

A number OF young were

were noses in various stages of COM

the first stage of operation is over it
