in a couple of minutes voices were
heard. First they were in the northeast

"Firel Fire! Fire!" cried a voice lit
the southwest corner.
Everybody jumped up. The women
' grabbed the arms of their maria. The
lot (iorrnau aiill slept, and the voice
sounded again. thistimo seemingly from
the platform of an automatic weighing
machine.

from the other eye. At the same instant
the rugged butt disappeared. and in its
place was another fresh cigar. He lit
that. Next he pulled u couple of yards
of muslin, out of his mouth and wiped
his eyes. after which he put back the
spikes. He neemed to drive them right

page. and that wont.
“Poor man,” said one sympathetic
woman, “hemnst be hungry. But how

The second page was gone. all but a

“Clmkey, you’ve god doc much; you

Ho seized the corner of the paper that
was hilcklllg‘ont and began pulling at
