and bacon. This is shipped direct
from the packer to the mill, and there
sold to the men at cost, plus the trans- ,

There is generally something force

a woman as strength, something primi

the woman who is attracted by a bad

She may even be aware of his bad- j

heart of a good woman there is always
the desire to help. She imagines that i
