they believe 1t is possible to proceed,
and in carrying out this policy 1t Is
their plan TO put in active charge OF

me, my friend thought this morning
that he had made great discovery,

not so great as he thought. There is
gold on your claim, but none on either

had been flour, and at the empty shelf
where there had been cans of meat,

still on the bed, and at your trousers
hanging on the wall, with an empty

He leaned over, kissing the faithful,
unsuspecting little woman upon the

And she saw in his words no double
