she let you have 1t square on the point

The New Yorker tramped a full

said: "Candidly, Kent, Mrs. Hepzi-

David Kent stopped short and
wheeled suddenly upon his companion.
"Ormsby, that's a thing I've been
afraid of, all along; and it's one thing
you must never do"
"Why not?" demanded the straight
forward Ormsby.
