who was pretty near sober, was in
vited TO get aboard and ride back TO tho
station.

knew that her lord and master was want
ed and told him that he had better scoot,
but John didn't have time 10 scoot for
Messrs. Sherman and Tracy knew tust
what they had to do, and John evidently
knew II too.
Some months ago John objected to going
TO Cranston again on the installmrnt

an axe, so that he could get out there una
