AS the day wore and full details came
to hand the list of mishaps would be
doubled, while scientific observers
would begin a nine days wrangle in

a ragged boy of Is, residing in a DESC

a spell that would deftly close his
lips.
Meanwhile he wanted his break

white pebbles and a few Jagged
Jumps of the iron-like material.
These he wrapped in a piece of news
paper, screwed up the small package
tightly and placed it in his trousers

awesome incidents of the previous
night he donned his coat and did not
notice the packet of letters lying in
the chair. Never before had these
documents left his possession The
door was locked and the key in his
pocket before he missed them. II
