"You wouldn't do a trick like that?"''
Emerson questioned quickly.
"Why not? You won't listen to my
advice. You're playing with other PEG

you whether you win Of lose. If this
enterprise fails I suppose you can pro-

whose mother controlled d large bust
ness in Canton had been spending the
money of the firm too lavishly. the at
traction OF mOtorcarS and other vehl-
cles of extravaganza being too power
full for him. After various endeayors
to control him the mother at length
prepared chains and letters and had
him locked up. He, however. escaped.
and the irate mother announced her
intention to exercise her maternal
rights on his return by cutting the

say that this treatment is often re-
