Walker hinif.olf was ab In 'ted, and confine! by hy biothurs-iu law, but managed to escape, and it 13 presumed that the couple are married ere this. Sir Henry llaveioek cannot complain of his luck.

No man should do more work of muscle or brain in die day thin he can perfectly recover from the fatigue of in a good night's rest. Up to that point exercise is good, beyond i.s waste of life. When we take stimulants to spur our jaded nerves or excite an appetite, we are wasting life There is wrong and mischief in all waste of life.
