has the United States. and while it cannot
compete with in the production of the

the illustrated weekles these DAYS. The

gem. Inc number contains stories by Kip

In the time of Cromwell and the bloody

has ample scope for his daring and BRAY

escapes by the closest shave from most

heart could wish. There is plenty of Ego"
to the narrative, and all ends happily. The
