THE CASE OF THE PERPETUAL
GLARE.
THE producing Of this photograph
i quieted any doubts zudora might have
mad. Collectors were generally slipshod
and careless in all respects except in the
matter of their hobby. A true collector
always wants a photograph of each OF
his treasures. partly to identify 1t and
partly to exhibit in testimony OF his pos

the photograph and eyed 1t curiously
Suddenly her hand became warm. Tt
