toil-worn hands, came to note the prog

With her was young woman, and
everyone who saw her said that her
face was so familiar. Who was she1

ability, and one day she was given q
chance to show what she could do

was recognized and rewarded. And
then the first thing she did was to
build for her mother comfortable
home. She admitted that she was In

proper training, for the whole spirit OF
our country and age Is against ~ In
the effort"
