This is a story about Cincinnati,

1t is fairy story about a beauti-
full queen, the loveliest creature in all

but it doesn't matter much. because
she lived and died long before names
were invented.
Hnd No BONG In Her Body.
Rebeccah sat by the shore and
looked longingly, so the story goes,
toward Cincinnati. But she couldn't
start out on her pilgrimage from the
beach, because. for all her beauty
and ferociousness, she hadn't bone
in her body. If she could have got
up on the dry land even few feet
and survived il might have meant Il
few million more years of life. be-
cause it would have indicated that
Rebeccah had stepped forward
great ways in the paths of evolution.
1t might have changed the whole his
tory of the world from then on.
But boneless Rebeccah couldn't get
out of the water and, so legend has II
