Christian spirit, SO ahead and dislike
him as much as you like, for he dis
likes YOU, too.
He told us all about it, and he didn't
ask Us not to tell, so we are going to
tell.
Movie actors he dismissed with few
words He said he never would be one
unless he was starving, and we don't
wish him any such hard luck, great as
would be the benefit to the screen,
should he decide to change his mind.
Mn Hull did not say that he would

long, narrow alleyway. and on one side,

never relaxing her vigilance For she
was under orders. Her chief had sent
her to trail a German spy, who was
here acting like captain in the Amer

Al last she was rewarded. Footsteps
sounded on the narrow stairway. and :.

q pair Of shell spectacles. The woman
drew back timorously, but the man re-
