everywhere. and asking themselves
how Il was possible for a gentleman.

the competitive lines. Gray won't
admit the insinuation. but IL ls easy
TO see from the Joyfuiness OF his
countenance that the charge Is only

OF Grays enissaries sauntered into

OF tickets AZ S22.s0 apiece. and Is
wondering where he can gobble up
