After e few days Sir Hobart called again upon tbe great pslnter. “Mr. Turner.” be tx-gan. “although I thought It a very extraordinary thing for you to raise your price, I Khali t* proud to buy that picture, and 1 am pn :*red to give yon the Ouo gulneaa.” “AbT said Turner. “It waa 000 guinea!. bat today It’s TOO."

Try These Testa, but Do Not Yield te Despair if Yoo Fall. Are you efficient? Tb* awful query refuses f* down.
