well to appear in the meeting.
He mentioned the fact that he could
see no clock in the church and said
he had the idea in mind that without
clock or watch he would be able for
once to talk as long as he wished, but
Miss MuurOe had forced upon him her
watch to forstal such privilege,
which he said handicapped him con

10 not like them Is because of their
similarity to Americans. We DO not
