"Coma on, steady there, Mc

voice out of the domeful calm.
Rossy turned and looked
straight at Dr. Tollivar, sitting
next to the men from New York.
The light was so dear, and Rossy's
eyes were so acutely sensitive,
that ha verily read the expression
on the man's face. It was warm.

its very understanding.
In that moment by a mingling
of cunning and clairvoyance,
Rossy was informed that this man

Up went a roar that revived all
the despairing manhood in Rossy

batters in one-two-three order ana
