In thus naming him Wylie, and arrestinG
him instanter under the new cognomen.
He was a brawny man with little quaver-
ing voice like that OF a school boy just
bursting into tears. Theodore took his meas
ure and promptly decided that Evans
could break him in two in a clinch, but

was not OF the strictest.
II quite agree with the remarks VI my
querulous friend, Nj, Evans-who should
have made public nsadicGncY his profess

MI Carson IS an eouiyocal one. Your
