had a cold so my voice didn't sound

my hand and laid It on her arm.

Mrs. Conner, plaintively, "she fell right

Stubbins always insisted that he

The reason for this was that Stubbins

When any statement he made was dis
puted. he Immediately undertook the
task OF proving by argument that he
was right, and he never stopped talk.
Ing SO long rs any voice was raised
In opposition to his contention. So
