At one o'clock that day, Evelyn

that the I-told-you-so passion is inner

who manage to control 1t with ad-

most courageous battlers against this
maternal heritage succumb, and in

reproach.
Evelyn might have told me, for in

careful investigation. had been unable
to discover either hair or hide OF Pc

of hers? Why? Because she was her

answer.
AS for my interview with "Pythias"
Addison, we discussed It lin all its
phases, without reaching anything
like a definite conclusion. Taking ev.

An angler once missed his gold
cigarette-case, and, being very much
upset about It, but not being quite
certain whether It had been lost or
stolen. resolved not to mention the
matter to a soul-not even to his wife.
Two years had passed by when. on his
happening to meet with a piscatoriaI

man astonished him by remarking:.
Il say, did you find that cigarette
case you lost some time ago?"

The grand champion Shropshire
ram, shown in the cut, is almost a

very low set, long, deep and broad in

fleece is unusually good, being fine,
