When Jack Bowen came home to the

making straight for the house in which

The wife made no reply to this, but
showed uneasiness in every feature
Never mind him, sweetheart I'm

The next morning Roscoe had half a
mind to leave his days fishing and
stay at home, but he didn't know that

would need him, and he couldn't stay
