which meant that never, under any
circumstances, did she have an idle
halt minute on her hands.
When called to- account for this she
explained that she was doing her part
to defeat Satan in his effort to find
work for her, and in this wise she was
victor.
But when one afternoon Peg became
overzealous IN her battle against Satan
and his employment agency, she rushed
for the train, she stampeded toward

greater and yet more graceful speed by
