seemed to notice that though he bought
a bundle at each place he never carried
away more than one. He visited the

store ON the counter, chatted with the
cashier while he paid his bill and went
out with only his laundry bundle. Then
with his wife he went to his own place
of business to bring home halter strap
for his colt. His wife stopped next door
below the store chatting while he went
in. When he came out, he went whis-
