suddenly entered his mind and sent a
chill up his back
"Ah, yes, Of course you are-of
(, course-and my time is also limited
but do you know what | am going to
do? Instead of debating about a bill
/ for $3.50, l am going to talk to you
of thousands and hundreds of thous-
ands and millions. My dear man, you

that is Major Crofoot's great discovery,

partitions between. We take infants

black or any other color and without

up until they are year old at so much
