And so she flung aside the garments

Truth stole away and denuded herself
Still naked, she murmured.
A theologian came along.
"And so, he said perhaps you will
be ready now to believe that can i'm

promptly logged her out in surplice
and stole and put solemn mask on

Truth stood it as long as she could.

at last, and tore of the mask and the
other robes and started to run away

The bills were of large denomination,
One was for $1,000 and others of lesser

Miss Martin, the chamber maid, was
