wrong—with the house!

"Let us chance It," aald I. "Remember, we have the revolver.
In defiance of protest remonstrants and common aenae. we two,
Madeline Vesparlnl, a Ruaalan woman, and myaelf. had set out to In

stretching from the BjUic to the Black se.i Into which the ruthless,
terrible Russian government has driven the Jews, the chosen people—
"chosen." alaa, for new aufferlnga; drlvea them to sicken and to starve
as hslpless "reconcentradoa" of Induatryl .
