and suffered, and animal instinct had
finally brought him back to his kind,
but he could not tell the story.
The colonel had figured that the de-

colonel had seen skeletons as he rode

Let me say here before passin' on
that the AlleViatOr is a purely Vege-

potatoes, cabbage, parsnips and Gu

three things that it has thus failed

dollars more on the next game of

as Brutus, and vet others as Nero, but
