can empire | met thu border bravo and self
appointed general, Cortina, in Mstnmorss
hotel, and was surprised at the easy grace OF
his manners. He was courtesy peysonifed,

good humor. He could have passed muster
IN q court review of Castilian cavaliers. But
the commencement exercises Of the most
primitive boarding school would have floorcd
