himself of $50. Brandt went to
Artesian to see the Campbell

loused hands aud wearing ex
ceedingly realistic o~veralls, who
explained that he was . far
over Huron way. Brandt
thought him . most decent lot
for he bought lemonade for him
and went with him through the
animal show. About that time
q third man joined the party,
who explained he was q neigh
Dor of the first stranger.
