\ Lewis almost began to doubt, because he
never could see Ine alone. About this
lime lac went across the creek, aud took
on with James WEitecar, who had a deal
of stock and horses. james did web by
/ him, Tor Lewis Was very knowing in such
matlets, and he began TO lay up money.
/ Neil, OF course we saw less OF each other
