How Its owner Vanished Like a

was so faded as to suggest that he
hadn't drawn fast color.

to the gentleman in charge.

der shortly, with increasing disgust.
"What'll you have?'
And can't you remember" contin-
ued the man with the goatee, ignoring
the inquiry, "how beautiful and

how | strolIed in here, with shave
