wanted to return the ring and get her
money back. She was even willing to take
half what she paid for it. She told me that
on the day after her purchase of the ring
she had almost broken her neck while try
| ing to move stove. She and the stove to-
gether had fallen down stairs, and when
she came 10 she found that her arm was
badly strained. A few days later her hus-
band died, and She has had all kinds of
trouble ever since. OF course, she blamed it
all on the OPAL and she wanted to get rid
of it right away"
Il have learned that parrots and girls
sometimes talk too much and too care
lessly" remarked a pretty girl not long
back from the Nashville exposition. You
see, was doing the exposition, under the
most delightful auspices 1 was also collect

q Now, colonel said I, growing bold,
don't you say no to anything. Can't 1
have a single ribbon of all your gorgeous
ness?
Sorry murmured the polite colonel,
but III tell you what / viii do. I'll get
you some pieces of ribbon corresponding in
color to my badges. It's the nearest can
come to giving the badges themselves"
