when he came here on his first visit.
His first resting place was the United
States hotel in Boston. His room was
smotherlngly hot. He sought relief by
opening the windows, but the tenpera-

time, but Frank had never made the in
innate acquaintance of such a monster.
Becoming disheartened, he decided to
call for help. Over the electric push
button was a notice: Zone push will

puzzle. In Europe he knew boots" and

pushed and took chances. Luther, as
black as the ace Of spades, responded.

Gilmore said 1T doesn't work"
Luther looked woozey. Frank walked
over and tapping the step with his fin

times and it doesn't work !" Luther,

senses came back and he shut off the
heat; and the actor gradually cooled
off.
Gilmore cannot be as fresh as the
average "knowall' British tourist. One
day he wanted to write a letter and

city may be dated. II is true that upon
the authority OF ProcopIus we are told
that In the sixth century many of the
monuments were uninjured. In the

Phocas, which probably was composed

for building still survived. So late as
