The Modern Bakery Barhite Brothers There was a coal baroness among those present and I got her worked up to the point of ordering from me a portrait of her ten-year-old son for $50. “She brought him around the very next day. Parkinson was a good fel- low and he let me have the use of his shop for the job. We had a bully good dinner on the strength of the condl- tions anyway.

I notified the baroness and she and the baron came to look at it. He seemed to have been brought under compul- sfon and to be but mildly interested. I had learned that he was merely stepfather to the brat, so I didn’t won- der so much at it. But the baroness | threw fits of cestasy over the pleture | and ordered two more at the same | price, after trying in vain to beat me! down, | “I won't tell you what 1 went| through within the next month with the heir apparent, how day by day I grew to loathe the little wretch moro and more.

As a good preservative, two coats of good floor varnish may be given the linoleum.
