The teapot termed it's nose up a little

the cream pitcher had never worn a
cover and had never been in the set

lived near them.

the creamer was disposed to be friendly,
tried to make itself look a little taller

A few blows with the club loosed
the tushes. Blake handed them over
to Winthrope, together with the whisk-
broken path through the thickets.
A free use of his club made the path
a little more worthy of the name, and,
as there was less need of haste than
on the previous evening, Winthrope and
they soon gained the fallen palms.
At word from Blake Miss Leslie
hastened to fetch nuts for Winthrope

The improvised headsear bore such
a grotesque resemblance to a recent
type of picture hat that Winthrope
could not repress deristve smile.
Miss Leslie, however, examined the
hat without a sign of amusement.
II think 1t Is splendid, Mr.. Blake.

Here's three, and we'll need them.
Ready yet. Winthrope?"
The Englishman nodded, and the
three sat down to their third feast OF

keenness even to his own appetite by
grim joke on the slender prospects
of the next meal. 1t was to the effect

Blake pondered over this as he ate
and when, gorged to his fullest ca

seated.
There are your hats and tn,
