But Jonessy walked homeward in
quite a different mood. Somehow he
felt that his mission had been rather a

1t was said that years ago Joe and
Polly had been sweethearts, but that
they had quarreled about some trifing
matter, and that they had not spoken to
each other since that day.
Jonessy had just been elected justice
of Pineville, and was looking around to
see where the fees of the Office were to

AS there was nothing for him to do in
the office, he thought that it was his
duty to go outside of it and hunt up
something. In debating the question
