comprehensive grin, ''if you'd jess

"Why, certainly, replied Mr.. Forbes,
feeling that here indeed was an unex-

haven't you q missis:''
"Yes, sah," was the prompt reply.
"1'ze got q missis."
well, you shall have one for her,
too" said the lecturer, who forthwith
requested his agent to hand the man
the tickets. That evening he looked
about the hall for his colored admirer,
but saw nothing of him. The mex,
morning, on ordering a hack to 60 to the
station, he discovered that the vehicle
was driven by the same man.
Il didn't see you at the lecture las,
