Incidentally, Welter lost his temper
and threatened all sorts Of damage

driver put a soft pedal on all the
farmers threats when he patted him
on the back and loudly assured MIN
that he would pay the bill.

I will mail you a check
The autoist continued his journey
while the man from the country dis
entangled his badly frightened horses
and put them away for the night In
nearby stable.
About an hour later, the farmer, his
mind somewhat cleared, rushed INTO
the police station.
"Mr. Browns automobile collided
with my wagon and he promised to pay
me damages, "he told the desk sergeant.
"well, what about it," demanded the
man In the cage.
"Well," answered the farmer Il was
lust thinking there's a mighty host OF
Browns in this country and forgot to
get his address"
The policeman coughed to prevent a
smile as the farmer wendell his way
toward the door bemoaning the fact
that he did not realize there was
nothing in a name.
At last reports, Weller was still look
ing for Brown who, from all
indications had read what Barnum

"Who Is there7" she asked.
"This is Hollis: could you spa1e me

no difference in the facts. I'll tell yov
the story, as briefly as I can"
She listened intently, leaning for

simple story seemed to thrill her,
breathing as 1t did the mystery and
romance Of the sea.
