was all torn up by carpenters, masons,
plumbers, painters and other workmen.
They were not accustomed to associ-
ating with "vulgah twadesmen," and so
too a spell of dormancy in their favorite
practices of fighting, robbing, and other
pleasing little diversions.

I got big piece Of it. so I did," said
Sol, land burned it out in the alley.

birds it brought in the first night. Got
another big lot of it for today, and if that
don't fetch 'em. I'll buy up all the
graveyard rabbits feet in town. It
makes man lonesome to sit around here
all day and never see any of the old
familiar faces. We did pretty we'll last
night, as it was"
