The girl is young, pretty and
clever. Furthermore, she is frank
outrageously frank. She works on
lines that ere original and unique.
Sometimes, really, she does great
deal of good.
The Gar, having heard of her
success in st Petersburg, sent for
her the other evening. She APP

gypsy dress that leaves bare her
amber colored throat and arms.
81 nave had, said the emperor,

Yes sire said the gypsy, in
her deep, clear voice. She smiled.
She was quite at her ease.

and blind rat. This dream troub-

Ut has said the gypsy, and she
directed on the Young man a smile
that was both tender and ScOrnful.
The fat rat stands for Russian Of

the Regulars readily agreed to the proposition that he
should be named as temporary chairman of the con-

down the editor from Blackberry Corners his
feet held up in his hand paper and began to stammer

the question:
