Burpce, who had fingered behind the others
to put some finishing touches To her hair,
"Lolsa james beau he hrunged her a ticket,

AS the little fiction of the misery in de
back" was only brought ont when nanny
BurpCC wanted to work on the feelings of
her family, it had lost its effect. Andrew
Jackson, instead Of melting, grew sullcn and
defiant.
He had helped to put up the posters of the
circus in the village, and had pored over the
