~ everything except hot sunshine,
penrod Schofield, In the saw
dust box of his fathers stable, was as
Silently busy as a diligent young worm
In lie heart OF u nut.
FaYoring this comparison, the saw
dust box was naturally almost as dark
ms fhe inside of u nut Is believed TO be;
hui penrod worked by the light of a
lantern, which raised the temperature
of fhe box to a degree that would have
frightened Il stoker, but subtracted
nothing from the fever of composition.
Penrod was writing.
He was writing CHAPTER TENTH
of his secret novel. Harold RAMO-
RE- THE ROAD-AGENT Or WILD
LIFE AMONG THE ROCKY MTS.
