company with another lady, somewhat
her junior in years.
"What do you want?" said the maid.
'Oh, | don't know. Sometimes it
seems like | had dyspepsy. And I've
done everything for it. Drank hot wa
ter in the morning and lived on milk
diet exclusively for a month. Then |
tried the raw beef system and took
enough medicine to float steamboat in.
Didn't do me no good, and l just quit
thinking about myself and said if was
sick was sick, and I'd inst give my
stomach something to think about. So
| quit fooling, and now just eat any
thing l please or want. Well, just or
der me a chicken salad, piece of hot

toast. If my stomach doesn't last long,

1t consists of bracket which can be Sc

formed at its lower edge with a lug
through which hole is bored, shoe
being loosely jointed to this by means
of pin passing through it and the lug
connection being SO free that the shoe
can easily swing. To the under side of
