OF Manhattan2 The girl i'm the picture
TOO, seemed to me Il different person
from the maiden OF the tintypc. The
latter was round-faced and bright
eyed; this one seemed worn and thin
with the duh, staring eyes which speak
OF the pain and detection of the city's
de pths. Had not Gius ppe mistaken

was not one TO b lightly declined.
/ Giuseppe was evidently going to do
mething-prObably something dra-
matte. Already his Story-as he
seemed to divinc-had taken hold ON

be present at what might prove TO be
its climax.
/ interposed but one moro objection.
Although the book indicated in gen
cral way tn parts of the city in which
the pictures had been taken, there
was nothing in it to reveal the exact
localities. It seemed TO me that it
might take a long search to identify
the place. ] explained this to him.
He shrugged his shoulders with the
air of a man whose patience is at last
exhausted.
Come" said he, Il know place.
