who introduced them?" asked
Goldthwaite. Il have been trying to
find how 1t occurred and the circum-

seems to know anything about it,"
That's so" said another Come to
think, it does seem a trife strange that
they should be seen hobnobbing so
thickly an hour after he arrived
Well, said young Dwight. 'how-
