BY the end of the year to go ahead
Then he made little extra few weeks
go and decided he would give his little
meetheart a handsome bracelet to cele'
mate this extra good luck. So he wen
to several stores and sent out five dia

beauty when the phone rang and she wa.
alled to answer it.

those FIVE bracelets open on the piano
When she returned the whole five hat
disappeared and whether it was the worl
da sneakthief or what, they have neve
been seen since. Just imagine it. Al
FIVE have to be paid for and the hope
