He molded his life accordingly, finding himself a position In an English bank In the city of Paris and practically living the life of a recluse. It was too bad all the way around, not only because the obsession that his silver Hps would have been so terribly repellent to Laura, but because the further reduced his life to the narrow lusterless plane of an eccentric. There where no mirrors in Myron's rooms; be allowed himself no social life women were omitted from his scheme.

The engine of the truck was almost demolished as it plowed its way over the solid concrete, the cab was torn loose from the body of the truck and the load of merchandise was turned over. Mr. Johnson was not hurt, no glass was broken in the cab and the damage to the cargo was very slight, all of which made a rather lucky piece of bad luck. REPORTER. ces.
