and there was look of anxiety on rhe
young mans face. but in a few seconds
there was a click and the ring began TO

hard TO keep count The man who was
holding the hair asserted that the ring
tapped thirty-five times, the correct age

at Ushant She once visited the mint
Unexpectedly at a time when some

she was being shown through the build

neat thing TO stamp her name and the
date ON one of the medals and present II
to her. She accepted the gift and then
burst out laughing. The inscription
reads, "For long service and good con-
duct. "
