known as the Blsbopstrow belle. She
used to ride about the streets Of Bath

chair by bed: collar on door handle; tie
through key of door; vest on floor by
window; cuffs on knobs by bedstead;
shirt on portmanteau;. socks on gas
bracket; boots outside door; professor
in bed"

answer admirably. He collected his

against the gate, and it gave way, so 1

a bed, abandoned by all. At first 1
thought that he was asleep. When 1
touched his hand, it was quite cold, for
he was dead"

by him when his Norma" was Kissed

the carriage is used for a market and

potatoes. greens. fruit and household
goods of all kinds from neighboring
stores and push carts. The east slider
doesn't often have his things sent
home. He's not sure he would get
what he had bought Then the little
boys are sent out to hover around new
buildings or old ones being demolished
and gather in wood to be pushed home
in the baby carriage. On other occa-

Writing of u motor boat trip on the
Black sea, Henry G. Rowland in APP

porpoise:
THAT evening was lovely one, the
air of a delightful temperature, very
clear, and the sea like mill pond. a
big school of porpoises came over to
play with the boat, and the water was
so sparklingly clear and of such
CLASSY surface that we were able to
hollow all their movements even when
they plunged to their fullest depth.
They had not the slightest fear of the
noise of the motor, but swan danger
ously close to the propeller and fire.
Quently rubbed themselves against the
sides of the boat.

head over the bow. watching him. He

curve of the bow roll him over and
over, presently disappearing to swim
back and repeat the performance. l

"Oh, guide, guide" she exclaimed,
what makes that funny streak in the

The guide was busy rebaiting the

mumbled, "U-m-mm.
Guide" repeated the old lady in
tones that were not to be denied, 'look
