from life.
After sixty minutes OF talk, Jim
my Blair was cussing Maxwell flu
emily with his two hands, his rusty
voice having refused any longer TO

Shortly after that the two cabin
boys returned with a carriage drawn
by a pair OF mules and with two
Spanish officers, one Of them own

grasp of affairs. They placed the
TWO men in the carriage and start .
ed with them for the town jail.
Pat. with her party and the yachts

went aboard at once.

Paris. via New York, TO attend a
convention of doctors from all over
