"There ls No Law for a Genius"
March came in like lamb with
delicate weather. crystal clear and
opal bright, and with II came Miss
Ordway. Sandry was glad to see her
but the critical point was at hand and
he scarce took time to eat or sleep
from the great work OF the contract
The mammoth raft was ready the

So for the remaining nights the
great raft was lighted from end to

Siwashes. born and raised in the tim

camp and they needed no driving
