on him what was meant by lulling that

"Why, don't ion know?'' said she,

how she woul 1 get squtr.j for onc-j au I
for nil with the trout lesoa.e lookers if

a -clieiin! that put au ca 1 to the looker's

possible and then clip a lut'o piece out
of the centre of the same. tel. ing the
looker when she says. H i, what did
you do that foi ? that we were only
cutting our tra le-nnrk into tho goods

what store she procured I belli. That
generally hat the de-in d cll-ct an I
gives the looker to und-r-t iml that we
are perfectly aware of what sho wants

any one make crazy tpi lts at our cx

"Another sp -ciei of look-'r is o le
