much more likely to disappear under

gladly consented, moving back to make
room for her. She passed lightly in

task.
The sun which shone in through ny

Yvonne had turned her back to me

cheek. ..
For the first time I noticed that my
cousin Yvonne was very pretty. There
was already something Of the woman
about her, but there also remained
much of the child and the mixture was
delicious.
"See,' she exclaimed without
blotting paper you can do nothing!"
Her fresh firm voice had penetrating
charm.
She was So pure, SO sweet, it was
as II perfume Of candour disengaged
itself from her person. The sun made
golden nimbus of her curling locks

Yvonne was certainly pretty, very
pretty. Why had | never noticed it

My ink spot was effaced no, drowned
by tear, a pearly drop that had fallen
from Yvonne's eyes.
She had read she had understood,
and she wept!
The letter was never sent. I nevor

Several weeks ago an abscess devel-
oped in the stomach of William
Thorpe. resident of Quantico, Md
Inc growth SO weakened him that
physicians feared to use the knife and
the patient was slowly dying. A few
days ago he saw a Philadelphia paper
in which there was certain cartoon
making fun of Senator Quay Of Penn
sylvania. Thorpe laughed and imme-
dlately stream of blood gushed from
his mouth. The doctor happened to
call just then, and after examining
Thorpe declared that the abscess had
broken and that the patient would now
get we'll. All Of which goes to show
what Philadelphia cartoons are good
for.
