and smiled and went to sleep again.
Il had to wake him like that two
or three or four times a night frreg.
ular, sometimes more, sometimes less
but we got along all right. He sure
was an able snorer, and sometimes
he'd start right off full blast right
from the Jump, but usually | was able
to get him before he'd begun to make
the house tremble, and things went
along that way, everything all right,
for about seven weeks just as nice as
could be, the scheme working as slick
as you could imagine; and the boss
was pleased, and l certainly was.
1T was night work, I know, but I
didn't mind that; the pay was good
and the work easy, and thought |
was fixed and settled in about as nice
and easy a job as man could have
And then all of a sudden one night
this Job went up the spout in a min
ute.
THAT night. or along about 3:15 in
the morning it was, while | was sitting
there in the bic arm chair for the boss
to turn IN felt somebody shaking
nv shoulders, and shaking hard
enough, pretty near, to shake my head
Off and then l wake up and sees the
boss standing over me.
" Governor ! says, what's the mat.
teri though l Kie" "hat was the
matter well enough
Matter? he says, matter! why
If | snore one-tWenty-hfty as loud as
you do l wonder they didn't put me
out OF the house long ago.
And that was all there was to 1t;
the governor had been little quieteI
than usual that night and not being
called so often / had fallen asleep on
my post and gone to snoring my.
self, and l suppose the boss was
right about how loud | was snoring
because, as a matter of fact, am
something of snorer; If | could rely
