genial manners and amiable personality.
He became acquainted with Frauein Won

general of that name. She is a beautiful
blonde and a reigning belle. and the sus-
ceptible little japanese officer fell in love

man officers caught the Jap In a hilarious
condition, and drew wager from him that
he could make the ride in question. the
