Miss Beecher appeared before him and
asked for IA continuance until Monday, which

lodges. The subordinate lodges are entitled
to one delegate to the grand lodge for each

than romance ever dreamed Of, every
one of them drawn from real life by a
wOman's hand. In every chapter she
weaves in anecdOte after anecdote,
incident, story after story, and the
