my palm. ] locked down and saw the
same dog. She had recognized me as
having been with her friend, the officer,
and as before, she followed me to the
boundary of her district

With an alliance between Eng
land and Uncle Sam, as the dali!
papers indicate, Europe may how
for Spain, and smile at Spanish
treachery, inhumanltv and butch
cry in Cuba, but Uncle Sam an
England will always be on top
In fact, such an allianance coult
defy the world. For hun anlty'
sake. if nothing else, We say, Goo
speed such an agreement.
HOPE.
