been there few minutes an attendant
came over and asked him: Are you

The naughty person wasn't, but he
took out his card with flourish and
handed II over.
The attendant received the card
gravely. carried II to the clerk, who
glanced ut 1t and gave some instruc.

A moment later the naughty citizen
was touched on the shoulder and
asked to retire.
"Why?" he asked. II sent up my

but please retire

officers of the army, who wer sent

From May to August 10 twenty.six

OF the disease was the use Of i'm.
