steps. She was in danger OF falling, and the
newspaper man supported her. a few days
afterward they met at the residence of mu-

The Jap is wild because a Matchmaking
writer in the Tribune charges him with being
in q gambling house few evenings ago and
losing considerable money. This the Jap"

house. BY the way it was Col. Bl-t-n who
saw the Jap" watching game of CARDS.
