ten years old had come in on night
train and was waiting for the b. & o.
train to Chicago, where she was going
to join her relatives. She had come
alone from the old country, with no
baggage but a little dirty white cloth

beuaty. sweetness and extraordinary fas-

After while he introduced a practical
element in his love-making, and con-

suited everybody about il, he devoted
long hours TO thinking about it, he Wis
tied the different stores and finally de-

was not a pair Of garter buckles, or
bracelet a book, or piece of bric-a-brac.
