But Bob Willct Is a laborer with

him, whereupon he did so. and Bob
came TO the conclusion that the time
had now arrived when the pride Of the
peerage should be humblcd. The diff
ficulty was TO think of something suf-

Then an inspiration flashed on Bob.

In the old days. when the world was

They were none OF your overgrown

great big round fellows. and the out

inches ahead OF the blade. and the
melon just laughed itself open.

You lifted the melon above your head
and dropped it TO the ground. and IL

nothing but the heart-just the chunky
