didn't seem TO be overcome by the scin'-
tillating brilliance of my idea, and gent

wiler and waited for "Muzzeers Angel
C-h-e-e-i-l-d."

quickly. That's why l came"
"Oh-h,' she exclaimed, disappointedly,
and then said. "Ve-e-r-y well, / con-
Veence you. How you like Eat, eh?'
| She was a picturesque little figure as
she sat there with the brilliant lights
streaming down upon her youthful
| face-she's young--oh! so terribly
young, is little Miss Carrera-just IS
