this sort of research displayed itself in Carissa

For Clarssa became patriot mitarist She

absorbed in the army past present and to Incl

not fought in his countys with China and for this
reason she regarded him renegade. pointed out
to her the probability that Kato had been too young for
military service, but Clarissa not appeased From

the deestable character of who would not fight for

from his eyes Them as Clarssa continued her attempt
to soothe him. he cried aloud and laid hold on the paper

then Kato fairly fell the sheet and cutched it to his

She bewaed her unusness to Katoand was more patrl

There was short interval, during which we gave
ourselves up the mastery of those primitive emo

and she laughed little.

I agreed that it
I learned my Uncle Jimmy was harmless.
I believe that in his time he good man, and never

He had been small farmer in New England, and on
one occasion he had accompanied militia force of six
men as lieutenant The objects of this expedition were
shrouded in mystery Why they went, or where, is as
the riddle of the Sphinx All that is known is the
meagre fact that they went and that Uncle Jimmy went
with them This is proved by the record which con
