by Bob St. Clare, and the Chief

entered the grand old mansion
with its stately pillars and claim

performed civil ceremony, and

pride in the handsome appear

Gaston's arm, she was greeted
with an outburst of homage and
deep feeling she had never
dreamed of receiving. When
the Governor acknowledged the
applause of his name, he bowed
