SPAMTAMETER: She was just recovering from one of these attacks when she was prevailed upon to escort Miss Crocker to a lecture, and in return for her virtue was rewarded with a new idea. It was a People's Course, the lecture on the Pyramids, and Jo rather wondered at the choice of such a subject for such an audience, but took it for granted that some great social evil would be remedied or some great want supplied by unfolding the glories of the Pharaohs to an audience whose thoughts were busy with the price of coal and flour, and whose l.ives were spent in trying to solve harder riddles than that of the Sphinx.

On her left were two matrons, with massive foreheads and bonnets to match, discussing Women's Rights and making tatting. Beyond sat a pair of humble lovers, artlessly holding each other by the hand, a somber spinster eating peppermints out of a paper bag, and an old gentleman taking his preparatory nap behind a yell`o_w bandanna.

It was a p,i.ctorial sheet, and Jo examined the work of art nearest her, idly wondering what fortuitous concatenation of circ.umstances ne_eded the melodramatic illustration of an Indian in f.u_ll war costume, tumbling over a precip-i^ce with a wolf at his throat, while two infuriated you~ng gentlemen, with unnat.urally small feet and big eyes,were stabbing each other close by, and a disheveled f.e-male was flying away in the background with her mouth wide open. Pausing to turn a page, the lad saw her looking and, with boyish good nature offered half his paper, saying bluntly, "want to read it? That's a first-r,a'te story." anything, Evy Tell me I've found something.
