the case.
Mr.. Whites conings and goings are
watched for at his hotel so continuously
tha: he used a private entrance on a

about the place.

Then let me got to my rooms as
quickly as possible" said Mr.. witte.
The presence of Mr.. W!tte being
quickly discovered he acknowledged
the cheers by appearing once on the

1t is very reasonable to argue that

good. For that which is not good and
not sound must surely die, and only
that which is good and sound shall
last through the grinding Of the ages.

their children's imaginations full of
fairy tales if they would make those
