tirely different localities, but they were
not aware that Valentine was hunting.
Their dogs soon crossed the trail of VaPs

Alb. and Washington coming up soon spied
as they thought, the 'cOon, whereupOn It
was argued that Ab. should climb the tree
and oust his 'coonship. Meanwhile " Val.
kept silent as possible, so full was he OF
laughter.
