aeronef was Pigment of two Stat

he did not purpose to let any
guilty man escape. So he provi-

one midnight as a symbolic figure
of Blue Funk, on the back OF an
engraving which he tore from its
frame, and which Mr.. Waddy
bought at the suggestion of the
Acknowledged management of the
chop suey establishment.

sense of duty of preventing that
pupil of Doctor Witherspoon from
breaking the vow of abstinence. So

a lodger and boarder, charging
him we'll for his accommodation
and lending him the money on his
note to pay for it. On arrival he
went to bed and turned Craighead

from the window, scanned tn,
