up and stab his defamer with an Italian

The traveller goes away to travel for

him so much as the sight of a dusty
but determined American tourist going
over in two months the ground ne has

The tourist sees Europe on the run
because that Is all the time of money
he has. With the same tine the trav-

the first hotel entirely considered and

at home.
