there was but one man on earth

Uncle Dams company during the
war The old fellow knew the
great worth of the captain and
knew that he was man under all
circumstances and conditions and
he always paid the captain the ut

thought much of Uncle Dan and was
constantly doing something for him.
He liked him but that did not pre-

on Uncle Dan that nearly drove him

bud Bryan, Frank Small, Uncle
Dan and several others of the Bo-

down on the next days train. The !
truth was that Uncle Dan was out

The policeman did not know him

from his personal appearance that
he was drunken tramp, he
promptly arrested him and started |
for the station house with him
That sort of brought Uncle Dan to
his senses and he began to explain
who he was and to offer proof of
the truth of what he said if the /
policeman would take him to the
hotel where his friends, Faulkner |
