cries gruff looking old cuss, II am per-

we bow submisslvely and they form in
line around us, and with grand chorus
sing, "write write for your life! We
Now write up." Oh, bother! It would
take couple of hours to write them all
up, and the mail is due here now in five

It is out that couple of our most popu-

Our time is up. We clap our hands and
sign, NED NEEDLE.
