though it should have occasioned no
surprise, as he had often declared that
he must be looking around for "a

not come to the pOst-office for some
time, and the "boys" began to wonder If
he had deserted them, when, one after
noon he came stalking in. He received
a hearty greeting, but did not appear to
be enthusiastic.

Marsh Griggly was postmaster at

sold jeans trousers that were so stiff
that they could almost stand alone. One
day old Nick HOneycutt came into the
store and said:

that the mayor was absent and that he
would not return for more than week.

turned his steers hOmeward. He had

had met with an accident. A light
sDriur wagon In which she had been
travelling had broken down.

woman when Nick drew near.
