Its barber shop was paved with
silver stmoleons, and was one of
the seven wonders of the West.
It's bar served every known brew

was noted for it's hot breads. An
Indiana humorist used to go there
for breakfast, which he always
concluded with the same stunt.
As he tipped the waiter, he would

grant that he is, but even a fool is
not going to set out alone in this

he could he'd get even with you dew

thought just what Helm was saying.

escaped his notice.

marked after moments silence,

no place to keep her, and F'aTnsworth

that Alice Roussillon and Father
Beret are not all the French in

What do you mean?"
Il mean that don't for a moment

coarse, passionate energy from which
she recoiled as If expecting a blow

Beverley a look of supreme defiance

stopped him with:
