to his poor domicile at Q late hour, and
found that Brown had taken possession
of the household. Williams unshesthed
his sailor knife and tried its tenn.
per on Browns hesh, putting it in
three times where it would do the most
harm. Brown. not being hoggish, deemed
three cuts sufficient, indicating that much
by suddenly decamping. Then there was
. scene in that little family, and the
