girl as helpmatc. one who would
have Il proper regard for his position
and influence. Catching sight of Il

which she spent more laviShly than
any princess. She hurried him
through life with railroad velocity.
and when he arrived painting at the
end of his journey he bemoaned the
fate that had thrown ~her and her

names are mentioned by Mr.. McAllis-

just as plain.
