that makes 'er stick to Tom 40 loyal

two year the colonel as leen pesfer1ng

allus lost and then the c"lunerd stake
I'm for month or 40 to r,,n the show
on. This IA gone On for two years.
Tom getting wusa all the time and the
colonel more persistent. Tom 'as lost
all sense Of honor and derency. He
knows the colonel IL trying tn get Is
wife away from I'm and he amt got
spnnk enough ief' tn object to It. He
don't even try to protect 'er from the old
villain They say Grand as promised
'er n fine 'ome In Washington and will
edicate Christine abroad. benider Of
ferinc enough diamonds to oil . at.
But she Just despis~s i'm more and
Elure every week. He'll never GET 'er--
no sIrree! Why. she just couldn't do

Early this season he lent Tom fve
or six Thousand and Tom can't pay It
back know. business 'as h.'en ~ hnd.
He's come on this time. I dare say. to
tmllinze em into Ia way Of thinking.
He's wonderful persistent Like "a not
he'll help Tom ont some more afore he
leaves. Just "a draw the web closer.
He'll stay n few days. 'anging arnund
'er like a vnlture. paving no attention
to 'er rebukes. and then he'll gn off to
return ano,her day. He's wrecked
Tom Braddork. Just as = stepping
stone. Some day he'll he through with
Tom for good and all and you'll sec
what 'arpens to Thomas"
