TT is said that Voltaire was
worth at least 100000 at the
Il age of forty. But he did not
earn his money from books. He
made most Of 1t by lending
money to needy noblerhen. He
would lend an heir to an estate
a large sum on condition that the
heir should pay him 10 per cent
interest on the amount as long
as both OF them lived. The heir
would be neither required nor al
lowed to pay off the principal;
and the agreement ended only
when Voltaire died. Voltaire
picked only younger men, and
because Of his tubercular appear

Nothing could exceed the Joy OF
the sweet girl on hearing this
manifestation OF love from the
last of the house OF Maldonado.
The prospect OF seeing the hated
Sizerella cut into pieces by the
master hand Of such an artist
almost brought tea 8 TO her eyes.

with a happy smile: Think how
much we shall have to tell our

donkey toward the seashore.
The ride was not the essence
of comfort as far as the doctor
was concerned; the interior OF
the trunk was hot, likewise it
was cramped; the uniform OF the
last of the Sizerellas was heavy.
The doctor perspired freely.

Cola would assure him that his
safety depended on his low line
