he had never had such a good time In
his life, and on the other hand, Mr..
Adams had written to his people that
Earl Mcfarland was an extraordinar-
lily intelligent engaging and entertain
ing talker, and it had been the great
est pleasure to meet him. The praise
was sincere on both sides-it was the
first time either of them had met an

the same town.
