1t was a busy day in the barber shop.
Though the wind blew threateningly
without, and the rain came down in
great torrents -pelting against the
buildings and filling the streets and
sidewalks with gushing streams OF
water-a number of men Of various
ages were comfortably seated around
the walls Of the tonsorial parlor, each
awaiting his turn to be next In
the meantime they were passing away
the time in exchanging stories of such
interesting happenings as seemed to be
fresh in the memories of the narrators,
mostly along the line o. foX-hunting
and fishing.
Il used to be somewhat Of fisher

val ing foe a. haircut and had been an
interested listener to the adventures

speaker had cone to town early that
morning to confer with one of his

and he hal come into the barber shop
mainly to get in out of the rain, the

closer together, as if expecting to hear

on our way toward Crooked creek.

or so, then struck out through the
woods, shaping our course toward the

were to be found.
