back1. Well, about three weeks ago Bills
wife slams Into his ofaoe suddenly, and
there's Bill leaning over his typewriter
squeen with the violet wioks, and she's
sort O. looking back at Bill with her head

At the bottom Of the page for you TO an In
the answer. They tell me that the chestnut
haired typewriter doll just picked up her
skirts, grabbed her hat and veil and coat
and pocketbook and executed the getaway
sprinting for an alkali well to get gourdful
OF water for her heap much man. Tom
Nevermies happened to drop into BTl's
office just when 1t was coming Of. and ho
told me the things Bits wife handed him
were sufioiency and then plenty.
We'll, Bill's wife accompanied him to the
office from their fiat the next morning, and
she went right at the job OF mastering the
typewriter. Now she's on the job for a
permanent thing. She picks out the keys
and Bill lie writing nearly all OF his letters
him self in long hand.1
Talking about touching Bill up reminds
me that its mighty, easy TO get a rise out
got TO do is to stand of at a proper distance.

Fall, Guys Assooiation1 Eddie's all right
at that one thing Of snaeging the coin at
the produce commission business, but

the CRATER with the miners clothes claimed
thousand the sharp handed Eddie 10000
shares, all nicely engraved and with gilt
around the edges, in some punk hole in the
ground out in Goldfelds. Then, with
Eddie's coin in his kick, the phony miner
OF us were in on it. and Eddie didn't have
any more sense than TO pull that punk Gold
fields stock out of his safe and show it TO
everybody that dropped into his office.
His nug grew pretty long. however. when
thousand fixed ny his getaway, and now
all you've got to do to see Eddie run around
in circles and foam at the mouth is just to
whisper 'Goldfelds' TO him. I haven't
Dutted into him Tor ABOUT a month now,
but when ! saw him last he
"How's that Well, you don't tell mel
