"Tomkinsl" roared the mail carrier,
tossing a newspaper at the bowlegged
ranger.
"Kellyl" and the surly giant reached
out a big paw for his letter.
-.And love letetr for Hollidayl"
The young ranger bit his lip as the
crowd roared in ridicule. but he took
the letter in silence, and, going to his
tent, read:
