Back Of Whipple's drug store was

something less sordid than the two
grim saloons or the tavern barroom.

suit had been that the cars occupants
had left it without intention, gone up

and. coming down, had found them
selves almost simultaneously in a mud
hole and a deputy's custody.
Having paid their fines for speeding
n rescued their somewhat battered
motor, they TO- were being b|andaged.
&c was characteristic of the general
state OF Jonesville's mind that the Wis
StoTs had first been fined; repairs for
their bruised heads being looked at as
e. secondary matter.
The qnfortuuates numbered two. and
they had told the lning and exultant
judge Of the peace that they were son
and father, giving their names as
Grover and Robert Wallace. Robert
Wallace was of not much more than
Jacks0n's age.
