known companion left the train to get something
to eat. Mr.; Good pushed his way through the
crowd, and ordered an oyster stew IRON the
waiter. The proprietor demurred, on the ground
that the rougbs would not permit any one else TO
be served but their own party.

Moreover, the Old German spelling is ne,C genitive

origin OF the word. When We find in Anglo saxon
such phrase as htcGt ntUess (what news?) we
can be at no loss TO determlne that the word is Of
pure Low German or native English origin, al
though the French noureiies may have influenced
Its Use. The fact that the word Is often used In
