of "the quake" and he was one of
the many who packed his little grip
with luncheon and took to the hills
west of the city, slept in the sand
hills and hoofed 1t back after the fire
was checked. Raymond says his
great uncle is the slenderest one of
the whole slender family, and has
come to the conclusion that he does

about closed up here. He is firm
believer in Christian Science.
