a system of mnemonies original

Guy led the rush for the second

the floor without sound or move

The astounded citizens looked from
one to another, and, as they looked,
the swift fall of a horses hoofs
echoed up from the street, accom-

flocked to the windows and caught a

"No, never! But Dingle has done

Bill Comfort planted himself at the

Col. Keever was red and wra thful. A

the unfortunate printer was lying.
Sampson had not moved a hairs

arms and legs sprawled out and his
eyes closed. There were no visible
marks of injury upon his face and Guy

his head.

the printer and he dropped one hand
over it and concealed it in his palm. No

to his pocket and continued his exam
