When Vinicius told his uncle Pc

But hnally he understood this.

lived, and that Lygia, even il she
loved him, would not sacrifice any

IL was pleasure different alto

tronlus and Caesars court and all
Rome were pursuing. Every other
woman whom he knew might be-

And when he thought of this, he
felt anger and burning pain, for h.
felt that his anger was powerless.
To carry off Lygia seemed to him
possible: he was even sure that he
could do so, but he was equally

Says Engineer.

Claims of the Bureau of EnRrav-

service on the bureau line to secure
increased revenue from the recent

unfoupded. according to a report

but. in my judgment, this was not
done deliberately and certainly not
with the intent to derive increased
