wus no need of bein' too espairin'. Mrs.
Bingham could go on hevin' prayers put
up for him jest as she always had, and if
he should send free tickets, some of the
folks thought they'd so and see him.
They hadn't none of them never been
into a theayter, and they felt they'd like
to see what it was like eff it didn't cost
nothing. The young folks was all on
that side, and GURUS enough, Granper

and laughed and shrieked, and / saw
Eben catch the biggest tramp by his col

one by his belt, then the shade came
down, and the band came out of the
cellar doors and played away, and every
body laughed until up went the shade,

of q venerable guest from the country,

Then he cen most turned a summerset

fetchin' grandper and Eben to their
