There was no further clew to her

wholesale agency In town that might
know something about It and its ad-

So, supported by the Indignation of
the family and armed with the evi.

went forth to find the culprits and
deal out what punishment she thought
fit. One could scarcely blame those
responsible for the sale OF the new
