fire was Kent burning until the tree
fell then would there come to the res

nation. and deliver them from the

SO the fire was lit, and a sentinel was
posted to guard its sacred flame; and
the tree was plantcd-under the cir

There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment. and her mother should see
that she gets it.
