Elisha R%idgeway was a g~ood-natured

and talked crops and country gossip.
There had been glorious sunsets and

from him. And there was something

looked at him for a moment and then
said,

But why?"

with establishment, and IN the next
you must have heard what Sarah

There was q groan from poor Elisha

 Captain Rynniug was iWenant in the famous Rough Rider caraEy Organization. and is a personal friend .ot Colonel Roosevelt. and though he has made no public. expression of his attitude on the Roosevelt boom, it is more than likely that a call of the roll of the Rough Rider roster would bring forth an aye from the tCNy warden.
