ly countenanced young men from Bos-
ton strenuously at work copying

ness what they were up to and side
stepped when he. putting on his Sat
urday afternoon smile, tried to inter
view them.

interested in this one per cent propo-
sition and this work of the two Bos-
ton boys and Augusta girls probably
was the outcome of that gathering.
