Wade Hampton never smoked cigars
In a rational way like the rest Of man
kind. Instead he took the cigars as he
bought them and crushed them to pow

and made use of the fragments as the
old regime use snuff. The coarse bits
were thrown away, and in the military
committee room, of which he was 80
long an occupant, there was always
pile of cigar shaylngs on the floor be

Miss Appleton looked at him in
amazrmcnt. Mike was the majors old
and trusted servant, the last person to
take the boy into a place of danger
The story was incredible.
Bob looked unbIushingly at his aunt.

The sympathetic excitement of their
fellow passengers was subducd by the
thought of relief from the troublesome

with a plague suspect. The friendly

There was evidently on his part no in

Miss ApplctOnS patience received its
