sense enough to bring 1t upstairs,
where it would be at band if we

He went down stairs and ratified
around for ten minutes, and then
come back to ask:
"Is it in a paper or box "
otis in a bottle. I thought you
knew what Jamaica ginger was"
"And perhaps do ! Perhaps |
wasn't running a ginger farm in
Jamaica when you were in the a.

1t took him fifteen minutes more
to fnd it, and as | swallowed the
dose he shucked of his clothes and
jumped into bed with the remark
"Now 90 to sleep and behave
yourself; it's most ] o'clock"
The ginger eased me for a few
minutes, and then had to shake
Mr.. BOwser again.
"W.what now !" he growled.
"You'll have to get up again,

way down stars, ratified the bottles
around, and finally brought what

me a dose in water, "don't let M
