"Haven't forgotten Valencia, eh" , chuckled the artist, gloatingly. "I-ord. but I'm glad to r-ee you again. Phil.

"When Burke handed me bis first turn-down a month ago and said, Tom, your work begins to show you want a rest,' I thought of Valencia, and was so confoundedly homesick for those old days when you and T , pretty nearly started a revolution, and came within an ace of getting our scalps lifted, that I moped for a week. .Oad, do 1 remember It?
