When directly opposite she glanced up at the window and, catching sight of \"Inky,\" smiled nnd waved her.' hand. An angle of the building prevented my seeing her after she had picked her way across the crossing. \"It was her,\" Inky whispered. \"It wasEtt. Ain'.t she a peach?\" As our quarterly literary exercises drew near Inky set himself the task oi committing a passage from the original-Greek. \"I want to do something extra,\" he confided to me, \"because they're all coming, dad and Ett and the mater.\" It is useless to deuy that I looked forward to this event with a considerable amount of pleasure. Much time was spent in furthering Inky's laudable ambition and in correcting his accent. I felt thankful, however, that the odds were against any person be- mcet Ingram's instructor, and I said\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDI do not remember- what. Ly den's presence annoyed me. I had hoped so much of this first Interview. Inky's performance was even worse than I had anticipated. I think his collar was partly to blame for the weird sounding of his Unguals and the startling aspiration of his vowels. Ly- den laughed throughout the entire duration of the agony. Every one seemed relieved as it drew to a close. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD When the remaining exercises were over. Inky started out to show his friends the \"lay\" of the building. They seemed particularly interested in rny recitation room, at least I felt that such was the case with Miss Allen. As she moved to one of the windows she chose to mention that once in passing she had glanced up and found Inky and myself watching her with painful interest. Just as they were all filing out of tho room I saw Inky deftly abstract his sister's handkerchief and drop It on the floor. Seeing me start to pick it up, Inky shook- his head savagely. A moment later Miss Allen returned alone: \"I am always losing my handkerchief,\" sho said. \"Brother thinks that he saw one on the floor in your room.\" I hastened to restore the missing article and doubtless blushed at my own duplicity. \"We have heard so much of you,\" she continued. - \"Ingram regales us each evening with a veracious chronicle of your day's doings.\" \"Ett,\" broke in\" the voice of Inky from the doorway, \"make him show you what he has in the desk. Say, that Lyden's a stiff. I'll get even with him. He laughed all the time I was reciting.\" \"It is true,\" said Miss Allen when her brother had again disappeared. \"Mr. Lyden did laugh, and I don't think it was a bit nice, do you?\" Of course I did not. \"But what was it Ingram wished me to see?\" she continued. \"Did he say it was in your desk?

My curiosity is of the kind that will not be bridled.\" \"I beg of you,\" I began, very much embarrassed; \"it is really nothing at all.\" And \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD in that\" statement I was merely quoting Inky's own,words. \"May I look?\" she persisted, resting one white hand on the old. battered lid of the desk: \"I'm going to.\" I was powerless. Her smile fairly turned my head. \"I can refuse you nothing,\" I murmured. The next moment she had the lid up and was rummaging through an accumulation of books and papers. She came,upon it suddenly. \"Oh,\" she cried, \"where did j*ou get it?\" I explained that I had taken it from her brother and had unlawfully retained it in my possession. < Unfortunately, she soon turned it over, and discov- .ered the verses penciled on the back. \"That is very silly,\" she observed severely, and then with a demure smile, \"But it is very clever.\" Without looking up she replaced the photograph in the desk and closed down the lid. After Mr. Lyden and the Aliens were all clear of the building Inky came rushing back to my room. \"What do you think of her?\" he inquired eagerly. \"I never met a more agreeable young lady,\" was mj* guarded reply. \"Of course you didn't,\" he said gleefully. \"Ett's a hummer. You ought to hear her plajT the piano and sing. And she writes poetry, too, but I'm the.only one that knows it. Say, why don't you go in and win? I'll back you.\" dence, I risked all and won. After no Infinite elapse of time we saw Inky emerge from a dim corner of the room. \"Ingram,\" said his sister, '.'was it nice of you to try and overhear confidences?\" \"Ett.\" Inky replied, \"I couldn't stay away. I was afraid he would flunk at the last minute, and you don't know now hard I've worked to have him distance Lyden.\" I think I hugged him, much to his disgust, and I know that his sister added to his confusion by kissing him. \"Ingram.\" 1 said, \"now tell mo the truth. What first put the idea into your head?\" \"Well.\" he grinned, \"I knew I'd never make the riilie in Greek unless something dropped. I heard of a follow whose teacher graded him' awa up because of his sister, and that's the reason I worlsed off Ett's picture on you. Then Lyden laughed at my Greek declamation, aud I swore I'd wind up his kite string.

Louise \"Ingram,\" I said solemnly, \"these ing present who could follow his Greok declamation with anything like an intelligent understanding. The eventful day at last arrived, and with it the Aliens. Inky was nervous and half choked by the height of his: collar, but he hastened to introduce me to his father, a big. red faced man. with a grip like a vise, and to bis mother, an Impressive lady who gave me two fingers and looked over my head. \"Ett's coming, too.\" Inky informed me, with a wink. \"She hasn't got all her fixings on yet.\" A moment later Miss Allen entered with Archibald Lyden. I am not an expert on tho subject of feminine apparel, but I do know that she wore something pink and fluffy that was very becoming. Lyden I had known as an honor man at college, and I thought with uneasiness of Inky's declamation. Inky presented me to his sister and volunteered the information that I was \"all right\" and \"a mighty square fellow.\" She said that she was delighted to matters are entirely too serious and sacred to be made light of.\" Inky grinned and clacked his tongue in his cheek. \"Say.\" he cried suddenly, \"did any of your people get cut up in the Revolution?\" \"Several of them,\" I replied. \"Good enough!\" he exclaimed. \"That's big casino with the mater! Oh, I see Lyden's finish!\" A few days later Inky whispered to me during class that I was soon to be invited \"up to the house'' and must on no account fail to respond in person. The invitation did arrive, aud I availed myself of the privilege. Mr. Allen was jovial; the mater grew deeply interested in my family tree; Miss Allen treated me with great kindness; Inky could scarcely refrain from standing on his bead. The presence of Lyden as an old friend of the family alone marred the pleasure of the evening. I was not aware that during the succeeding days my treatment of Inky grew any more lenient, yet it seems that there was sufficient partiality displayed to excite, the envy of the other students. This fact was deduced from a conversation accidentally overheard. In the words of the oracle, Inky would continue to have a \"cinch\" while the \"prof\" was \"rushing\" his sister. \"The money's seven to two in your favor,\" Inky remarked one Friday afternoon as I was going home with him after school, for such had become my cuv.<.>txi. \"Lyden isn't one, two, three. He\s out of the race; left at the pole.\" That particular afternoon was destined to become one of the happiest periods in my life. Miss Allen was alone and received me with outstretched hands. Inspired by Inky's conii- A Reminiscence by Mrs. Chandler Monlton. During my first visit abroad I passed the winter of 1877-S in Paris, and, as I had a letter of introduction to M. Stephanie Mallarrne, Ave became close frends. Besides being \"poet of poets\" and high priest of the Symbolists, Mallarrne was professor of English in a French university. His English was French English, to be sure, but it answered the French purpose. He always spoke to me of myself in the third person. I saw a great deal of both him and his wife. I used to dine in the flue de Rome on his famous Tuesdays and see the adoring throng of neophytes who'came in after dinner. And often he and Mme. Mallarrne would ramble with me about; tlie fascinating streets of . Paris. It was during these walks that I first made the acquaintance of the genuine French dolls\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe wonderful creations who can bow and courtesy and say \"papa\" and \"mamma\" and are so much better than human that they always do the tiling you desire and never the thing you dislike. At last the winter came to an end. I was to cross the channel, and, full of kindly regrets, M. Mallarnie came to see me. . ' \"We have wish,\" he said, \"madam* and I, to make her a gift, of farewell, and we have thought to give her a doll; she has so liked the dolls of Paris. Will she come with us and choose it on the morrow?\" Is everybody a fool sometimes. I wonder? At any rate I was one just then. Instead of thinking what a treasure for. the future would be a doll presented to me by the leader'of the Symbolists a foolish fear came over me that to confess to its ownership. would be to own myself childish, to make myself ridiculous, and, like the idiot I just then was, I said: \"Oh, no, please.

From .he Telcitrai.li, Quebec. The primary cause of indigestion or dyspepsia ia lack of. vitality; the absence of nerve .force; the loss of' the life-sustaining elements in, the blood. No organ cau properly perforin its functions when- the source of nutriment fails. When the stomach is robbed of the^nutriment demanded by nature, assimilation ceases, unnatural gases are generated and the entire system responds to the discord., A practical illustration of the symptoms and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the case of Mrs. A. Labonte, who lives in the village of Stadacona, yue. When interviewed by a reporter of the Quebec Telegraph, Mrs. Labonte looked the picture of vigorous health, showing no traces of the malady that had made her life for the time miserable. Speaking of her illness, -Mrs. Labonte said: \"For about two years I suffered dreadfully. My digestive organs were impaired, and the food I ate did not assimilate, and left me with a feeling of flatulency, pain and acidity of the stomach, and frequently heartburn. Tnis condition of affairs soon told on my system in other ways, with the result that I had frequent headaches, dizziness,and at times a dimness of vision with spots apparently dancing before my eyes. I became so much run down that it was with difficulty I could do my household work, and at all times I felt weak, depressed and nervous. While ,1 Was at my worst, one of my friends, seeing that the doctor was not helping me, urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. My husband then got rue half a dczen boxes nnd I began taking them. After I had used two boxes I began to enjoy my meals and the various . symptoms of my trouble began to disappear. I continued tho pills until I had used the half dozen boxes, when I again felt peifect- ly well. My stomach was as healthy as ever it had been. I could sleep well and my head was clear and free from the dizziness and aches that so long helped make me miserable. It is more than a year since I stopped taking the pills, and health has continued better than it was for years before.:' Mrs. Labonte added that sue will always feel grateful to Dr. Williams' Pink. Pills for the misery they have released iier from, and she always advises friends who are ailing to use them. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by going to the root of the disease. They renew and build up the blood, and strengthen the nerves, thus driving disease from the system. Avoid imitations by insisting that every box you purchase is enclosed in a wrapper bearing the full trade mark, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Pt ople. If your dealer does not keep them they will be sent postpaid at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for. $2.50, by addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Some of our boys are always wanting to do things that call for the exercise of ingenuity and have a practical result, and we are going to tell them of something of that kind now, says the Philadelphia Times. The proposition is somewhat startling, but i.s susceptible of ready demonstration. We are going to make a good pair of scales out of thread or twine. Drive two stout nails about 24 uiches apart into the edge of a horizontal shelf. Tie to the nails the two ends of a thread, say 3 feet G inches in length, in the exact middle of which you have made a large knot. Cut from cardboard two square pieces to serve as pans and suspend them from the principal thread by four other TO BE BEAUTIFUL. YOU CAN'T GET THIS RECIPE AT THE NEAREST DRUG STORE. ' THEY WILL WKIGH ACCURATELY, threads. They should be suspended one on each side of and about six inches distant from the knot in the center,' and Ihoir weight will make tlie middle part of the principal thread assume a horizontal position. Behind the central part of the thread place a piece of cardboard and mark with an arrow the place where the knot is when the two pans are at rest. Now put any article you . choose, a dressed chicken, for example, as the scales are for household purposes, into one of the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD pans, and, of course, you will disturb tho equilibrium, the centra} part of the thread assuming a more or less oblique position. The knot, therefore, will no longer hang in front of the arrow,'which serves as your guide mark. To bring the knot back to its place in the center you must put weights in the empty pan, and when you havo thus established a balance tbe total of the- weights will give you the weight of tbe chicken. In making this homely balance you should be guided by tne probable size of the article to be weighed, using thread, twine or rope, as may be required. It may be depended upon to give as accurate service as auy scales that are \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDold in the stores.

When you have, say, two dozen or more of such pictures, spread thems on a table before the players, shuffle the tags with tho various titles to the pictures and distribute an even number of them to all playing. The player who uses up his tags tirst, giving' the names to the proper pictures, is the winner.

Things Are Health, a Gentle Disposition and Freedom From Worry. \"Sis ounces of oil, three ounces of rose- water, a teaspoonjCul of borax,\" and so on and so on, read the girl with her brows puckered up in a frown. The writer of the recipe for \"a beautiful complexion\" suggested that this prescription might be compounded at \"the nearest drug store,\" as it was \"very simple.\", Now, I do believe in rubbing wrinkles out whenever, one can, for there are a lot of little lines that taking care will keep away from the corners of one's eyes, but \"an ounce of prevention\" has always b<>en and always will be \"worth a pound cure.\" It is better, and really a pleas- ariter task, to keep the .lines away from one's face than to chase them away, or to spend vain hours in trying to, with cosmetics after they have come and settled themselves. But beauty does not depend alone upon the absence of wrinkles. It depends upon the pleasant voice, the attentive oar, the sympathetic and 'understanding glance of the eye. ' Beauty of face and form is indeed a blessing to either man or woman, but Dame Nature is rather economical in her bestowal of such delightful gifts, and it is left to the' most of us poor mortals to d.o our best to make up to' the world in general for her neglect of us by turning \"beauty culturists\" not so, much iu the art of skillfully applying cosmetics, but in the wider sense\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe sense that embraces thoughtfulness and honesty of purpose and good health and contentment. \"Bo good and you will be 'beautiful\" is rather a tiresome bit of philosophy, I know, and I will admit that in, many cases, though faithfully tried, its outcome is not altogether satisfactory. I would rather say to the \"ugly duckling,\" \"Be good, live up to the very best'that is in you, and you will be loved.\" And can beauty win anything better than love? Health and beauty \"are very close, companions. The first part of my' recipe would run like this: \"Try very, very hard to be healthy.\" Fresh air. sufficient sleep, wholesome'food and enough of it, pure water and a. contented disposition will do more for tho person of naturally delicate constitution than mixtures of drugs that even the wisest doctor could think of. I have the word, of your family physician, for the truth of this that I have written.. t> . .When womenfolk' are left alone at home, there is- a ^vacation in> the kitchen. The cook may go'out and spend the \"day if she wishes. \"Toast and tea and an egg\" may be the bill of fare fort dinner. If the one who has dined thus awakens 'next'morning with a headache, she wonders why, and, as it is a \"perfect bother to eat breakfast anyway.\" breakfast is left uneaten. As the day wears on there is a \"tired look\" about her eyes, and she resorts to massage because she must \"look fresh\", for the musical in the evening. But massage fails to do the work in this case. Of course, the most of us are willing to forgive beauty many things. For a time at least we do not mind' if the truly beautiful woman is a bit selfish and self willed. It is born in the heart of man and- woman to pay tribute to beauty. But only for a time. I say, are we willing to sacrifice for beauty#\"s sake alone. Yes. I have quite conic to the conclusion beauty needs something moro than a smooth brow, bright eyes, a perfect little mouth and nose to sustain it aud make it \"a joy forever.\" George Sand has put into words this, which many' of us have also come to know is true: \"The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment: the eye of the body is not always that of the soul.\" Physical beauty is greatly dependent upon common sense. Common sense will not change a feature, to be sure, or make one's stature taller or shorter, but it will, if applied to exercise and daily habits, bring about round and pink cheeks, an easy and graceful carriage and a general improvement in one's appearance. Com mon sense brought to . bear will make- one's troubles less burdensome, if it does not drive them away entirely. Somebody has said that \"life is never as good' as we hope, but never as bad as we fear.\" Recall this when you are greatly worried, and if the thought does not afford a certain amount of comfort then you haven't a grain of philosophy in your make up, which is a sorry thing for you and your friends.

It is well to be \"well 'groomed.\" The third part of my beauty recipe, therefore, calls for a good am6unt of \"grooming.\"' The prettiest woman imaginable cannot be attractive with, a dowdy .bodice, hair that is not brushed and a complexion that shows neglect only too plainly. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Then to be beautiful I would - suggest the cultivation of a kindly disposition, a determination not to worry over anything that cannot be cured by worry and a> liberal application ,of soap and water and frequent doses of fresh air and exer-0 ciso.

The most painful, the most fatal and consequently tbe most dreaded diseases of tbe human body are causerl by the presence of urn acid in the b ood. Uric acid is tbe name piven to the foul, poisonous impurities which are left iu the blood when the kidneys are deranged and uuable to per.'orm their duty cf filtering the blood. So long as the kidnoys are in perfect health the uric acid is parsed out of the body \"by way of tbe bladder and the bleed is kept pure and clean. When there aie severe body pain?, headache, backache or weakness in the hack; when the skin becomes yellow, dry and hard, when the urine contains deposits, is thick, or irregular ;twhen there is stomach trouble and pains about the heart; when you feel weak, dizzy and become languid and despon- ent; you can put the cause down to uric acid in the blood resulting from deranged kidneys. The nature of your ailment will be decided by your constitution. Tbe poison left in the blood will find lodgment in the weakest part and set up some dreadful disease. It may be Brigbt'a disease,diabetes or dropsy. It may be the twauging pains of rheuma tism. It may be chronic stomach troubles or bladder ailments.

Dave Pettus had come down and had been visiting us for several weeks. The fact is, we were doing some work together on a book for which we had a contract. It was about (he early history of. Louisiana, and Pettus had accumulated a great bulk of material ,for the purpose. He and I used to sit before that big fireplace at night, after the family had retired, and discuss our work, with a bottle of old whisky on the table. [\"V Nearly always Hube would lie'on the rug before the Ore, and Alice's big cat would be pretty sure to be asleep on the cushioned bench at the corner of the chimney. One night, while we were talking about Lafitte and General Jackson, Hube growled ominously, jumped up and, backing against my chair, began to bark violently and exhibit unmistakable signs of terror. The cat, with her fur standing on end. made a. break for the.closed door and began to cry piteously to get out. The disturbance was so sudden that Pettus and I. were startled. There r<-stood the dog with his .tail drawn down between his legs, his nose pointing at the southeast corner'of the-room'and his head slowly turning as he barked, as if his eyes were following something that iwas slowly crossing the room diagonally (to the northwest corner, and all the'time he was. pushing against my chair with his hind quarters. He finished this performance, when tho object of his oxcite- fment had evidently disappeared, by walking over the trail with his nose down to (the northwest corner of the room and there giving a farewell bark to the wain- [scoting. \"I took a lantern and went outside, 'ettus following me. There was-a light kfall of snow on the ground and not a ibreak in it anywhere of a footprint or (carriage wheel. The dog, instead of searching for trespassers, appeared to pe relieved to get out of the house, and *hen we went back it was with some lifficulty that I got him in-again. But he utterly refused to go into the dining room. As for the cat, she disappeared ffor three days. 'It's the most extraordinary performance I ever saw,' I re- larked to Pettus. 'and I can't imagine fcvhnt the cause of it was.' 'Something passed across your room,' fcaid Pettus. 'That is unmistakable to ie.\" \"Then we diligently examined the room, shaking the curtains, inspecting the vainscoting, moving the furniture, sound- ig the floor and going through all the fa- little afraid of her own powers, which in a. purely scientific sense presented a most -remarkable case -of clear sight. I .satisfied'myself that the woman had no fraudulent intent, had, indeed, a most excellent moral character. She was singularly candid in avowing her own ignorance and equally disinclinedto be made a subject'of public discussion.. She did not prescribe, had no nostrums to sell nnd never. I believe, overcame her repugnance to the trance condition. She had lost, her husband some years before and lived' upon a small annuity which was -sufficient - to support' her comfortably, With economy. Here, was a rare opportunity to study a physical and perhaps a psj'chical phenomenon that was already eliciting the' wonder of the psychologists in 'France and Germany and was not at all confused ' with any spiritualistic claims. In June Mrs. Tibbits came to Chambersburg and became my guest. She, proved a, very acceptable inmate of the house, was fond of children, lent a willing hand in the domestic arrangements and proved a modest, retiring, methodical woman, who gave herself to the scientific experiments with something like a mild protest.- Dr.:J. and I succeeded in eliminating everything of a supernatural character from the investigation, and hers proved to be a remarkable case of unsuspected visual function. She undoubtedly did in certain conditions .read a book which was pressed against the back of her head when her eyes were blindfolded \"andat other times recognized different faces in total darkness, but she made no claim of communication with departed spirits and scouted the whole spiritualistic business. One night Dr. J., my wife, Mrs. Tib- bits and I were sitting in the dining room. It must have been quite early in the evening. We were listening to the doctor narrate some of his army experiences. We sat in a careless semicircle between the dining table and the big fireplace, which was now closed with a screen. Mrs. Tibbits was in the middle of the circle with hor back to the table. Hubo, the dog. I should have told you, . had died a month or two before. I noticed'that-Mrs. Tibbits, who was very much interested in what the doctor was telling us, kept looking behind her at intervals, as one will when somebody ahnoyingly interrupts a conversation. Suddenly she stood up, turned around and, in an attitude of intense eagerness and terror, stared into the southeast corner of the room. My wife jumped up, crying out, \"What is the matter?\" and both the doctor and I rose quickly. There she stood, her elbows drawn up, her eyes seeming to project and the lines of her mouth rigidly constricted, so that she showed her teeth. Thou her head turned slowly as if following something that was crossing the room diagonally. Tho doctor caught hold of her. quickly, and she swooned .away in his arms. We got her up stairs as quickly as possible, and the doctor and my wife worked over her well into the night. She appeared to be overcome with mortal terror, nor could any of us elicit the slightest information as to the nature of the apparition, that had frightened her. My own appeals to her thc next morning were of little avail. I asked her to be rational and for my sake describe what she saw. But she only shuddered and said, \"Something terrible crossed your room.\" \"What was it like?\" I asked. \"I don't know,\" sho replied. \"I never saw anything like it before.

At that time' I had not .the sad experience of today. I was innocent enough to think theatrical publishers and agents read the effusions of unknown authors; therefore I was not a little surprised to have my play returned to me after about four weeks, with a polite printed letter, in which the publisher informed rae that he had no use for the play. The first day I was very much do- pressed, the second annoyed; finally, on the third day, I came to the conclusion that \"that ass of a publisher\" knew nothi ing about it, packed up my play again and sent it to another. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ' ' The same result, with the difference that the second publisher sent back the MS. not prepaid, so I called him a \"blockhead,\" who knew less than ,the first, and sent it off to a third.

Empty and half empty beer glasses stood on the tables which filled the hall lit space. Cross looking waiters, with their shirt sleeves rolled up, moved about between the rows of chairs.
