- FOP Rosamond's Sake, During a summer v^rauoo in Itiver- a certain imporiant bu<inea* itf- took me frequently to the rail- way station, Lcre I sent and re< cit- ed numerous telegraphic measagea.

He sighed ; then lost all interest in me. He leaned his head against the v ill 'f the Btation. pulled his hi over bis eyes and stared toward the .-. f 'he ilittant ocean.
