determined to get to the bottom of
the mystery. Listening intently, she
traced the popularity to Johnny.
"'Sing 1t by yourself, Johnny she
commanded. Johnny did so. and in
stead of the line. Weak and sinful

His chubby appearance might be
taken as evidence OF the probability Of
his assertion. "-Young's Magazine.
