resultant liquid into a thick paste
with fine white wheat -four. The mass

own labor, refund the money which
her parents have given her as her

of one hundred sheep and certain

usually pays down in a lump sum to

Got the Same Letter.

threatened to do everything but MUIR

the right man happened to come to
the club at the. same time. Both went
to the letter box, the right man
reaching it first The wrong man
stepped back because he didn't want
to embarrass the right one. But not
he; he was there with the nerve. The
right man read the epistle over very
carefully twice. Then he tore it into
bits, which he tossed carelessly into
the nearest cuspidor, with a deprecat-
