The pupils took their seats,

of the most complete respect, "for

fortunate in the business proposition
you offer this community. That is all.

offer is not worth within two thousand

that it is very doubtful if it is the

"Bet your life we havel" inter
polated Newton Bronson.

Carmichael looked at Bonner, made
an expressive motion with his head
toward the door, and turned as if to
leave.

business with real men. If you want

Jim more gently than before, without

that we'd need more COWS than he

men and women play it; the inhab
itants are seldom seen without a

chessboards to school,; at the
