What food do you refer to, Silsby?

IF I'm going to tell YOU the story
I'll have to b&fRg tho different events
in as they Aappep.d." replied Silsby;
otherwise ia let it all mixed up. To
begin With. Molly McGregor was the
prettiesr girl in - county. and not
ohr the prettiest girl. but the biggest
-adcap. But you ought to see her

narrator. molly McGregor was the
merriest madcap in the county. She
had all the men in love with her. from
the richest ranchman to the meanest
cowboy McGregor. her father. was a
Scotchman, who was about as hard to
move when he took position as Pixies

Molly was that she was to marry the
man he selected for her.

about her not doing as he intended
when the time came, for she had one
man dangling about her one day and
another the next. and sometimes they

shines was going on her father knew
that there was nothing to fear. and
even if his daughter should fall in love
with some one of her admirers he had
no idea that Molly would marry any
one except the man he picked out for
her."
