front row aud smiling continually. as
though she were i'm meusely pleased with
the enthusiasm she had inspired. Swell
ing with pride, the long-nose3 youth
awaited the man TO deliver the dancer 3
words to b IN, and when the messenger
arrived he asked in audible tones what

sleepy individuals on their way UP town.
