SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through,
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full Of fat.

Alter wretched night spent In toss.

murdered man. and in lying awake
wondering how he should break the
news to Ida. Lord PenIyn rose with
the determination OF going down IN
Belmont. But when the valet brought
him his bath he told him that AR.
Smerdon had arrived from Occleve
Chase at six o'clock, and would meet
him at breakfast. So, when he heard
this. he dressed quickly and went to
his friend.

he raw him. t'How Ill you look, Wha,
