Journey before I recognized, ray old schoolmate, Lois Finley. It was only last year that I was in South Africa walking through the streets in a squalid town. Amid the hustle and bustle there was one person in particular that attracted my attention. I watched closely as he got down from his mule, unloaded his pack and went into a store. It came to me that I had seen this person before, so I was determined to get a look at his face, and decided to follow him. As I entered the store, to my amazement, it was Wally Hurley, Just coming out. Twenty years of prospecting for diamonds had made Wally a multi-millionaire. As i think it over now, I often wonder what became of the station wagon and why he was riding the mule. I finally arrived in New York City and decided to have my portrait painted by the famous Dunberlusky.

Presently Marcha was at liberty and we talked over old times. I asked her if she ever heard what became of Betty Baldlck and some of the others. She said she had just received tickets from Betty for her audition at the theater. Betty was singing star in the new hit comedy. Charlie, it seems, was a hairdresser of extraord- inary talent with a very modern place on Fifth Avenue, well patronized by ladies of means. Marcha asked about Mary Hall and I couldn't help but remember the incident when I was in need of expert legal advice in regard to my government duties. It was in a large city in Austria where by chance I discovered that the great lawyer M.J. Hall, had American connections. I went to him for advice, You can't imagine my astonishment when I walked into the office of the great M.J. and saw Mary Jane '-fall. With- out question my problems were straightened out.
