you singed him, is on his way to buy
things at the New York store?'
Cottonwood protests that the idee
never enters his head.
It's then as | thought goes ON
Enright, sort O. relaxin'. What you
does is not doc to malice; but jest
the same it's indiscrete. Now,
won't tell you twice. Cottonwood,

scenery about Chinaman with your

Cottonwood is more or less con-
science stricken over Enright's words,
an promises to mend his ways. An

horns off, an no mistake
