For. by the time these explanations
(so to call them) took place, Florence
vas indeed maxim fuss. Her emo
lions, at first, had been happily stimu-
lated at sight Of by Florence At
water" A singular tenderness had
olsen In her-a tremulOus sense as of
something almost sacred coming at
last into its own; and she had hurried
10 distribute. gratis, among relatives
and friends, several copies Of the Orb
ole, paying for them, too Though not
without injurious argument) at the
rate Of two cents a copy. But upon
returning to her own home, she be-
came calm enough (for a moment or
so) to look over the poem with at
tention to details. She returned has
dly to the newspaper btilding. but
would have been wiser to remain
away, since ali subscribers had re-
ceived their copies by the time she got
there; and under the circumstances
little reparation wss practicable.
She ended her orae1on-or prefessed
to end it-by declaring that she would
never have another poem in their ole
vae newspaper AZ long as she lived.
you're right about that" Henry
Rsoter agreed heartily. I'VE wouldn't
let another one i'm 1t. Not for fifty
dollars Just hook at all the trouble
We took motiing and toiling to get
your ole poem printed as nice as we
could. so it wouldn't ruin our newspa-
per. and then you comm over here
end goin' On this way, and all this and
that, why, i wouldn't 60 through it
again for "a hundred dollars. We're
maxim good money anyhow, with our
newspaper, Florence Atwater. You
needn't think we depend on you for
our Rving!"
"That's So" his partner declared.
I'VE knew you wouldn't be satisfied
anyway. Florence. Didn't we, Henry"
Il should say we did"
Yes, STRIP said Herbert. Fright

tryin' to print 1t and make out some
Q the words, said right then, We
were Just throwing away our time. I
said, What's the use?. That ole girls
bound to raise Cain anyhow, so what's
the use wastin' a whole lot of our
good time and brains like this, Just to
SUIT her? Whatever we do, she's GER
tam to come over here and insult u.s.
ISN'T that what said, Henry?'
Yes, 1t is; and said then you
were right, and you are right"
'Oert'nly i am" said Herbert.
Didn't / tell you she'd be Just the
way some of the family say she isl
a good many Of 'em say she'd find
taait with the undertaken at her own
funeral. That's just exactly what I
said"
