caught in rain storm, stopped at the house
of old John Perdue. The politicians. Major
Bloodgood and Colonel Noix, were sly can
didates for the coveted position, so sly, in

of the other.
After supper, while old John and his
quests were sitting on the porch, talking
over the coming struggle and listening to q

stretching himself, said to the major:
