the competition. He then proceeded to
prove the assertion. He said that he is
whose beau is a contestant in the unpar-

Il just can't understand it," said the
fair one to The Advocate several days
ago when he called at her house to see
her father. "Percival. my young gentle
man friend. has become so assiduous
that I am getting frightened. 1 do fear
that he is losing his mind. Up until a
