"If these reach YOU safely will
forward the other halves upon receipt
of a telegram"
The way that little woman busted
over to tho telegraph office and sent
him bowic-knives and daggers and

wonder ifshc was not some escaped
lunatic. Over half the money will
be used up for board by the time she
gets it, and how is she to reach home
on the balance is what puzzles her.
