This idea must bave impressed itself upon the mad fit work for he went on with his task. The other man became jnore excited at this non-attention and asked the question again in a louder tone than before.

What does it say, then? I’d like to know, sir. “Well, Mr. Smith, I’ve read it to you once; but I will read it again if y9u wish.
