Just three weeks before Daniel Web

another Webster died whose name was
no less a household word among his
countrymen. No other American Of the
time had written upon so great a
variety of subjects. Two books OF
widest national fame were his. Each
had played an important part In the
nations social history.
One of the volumes was small
enough to be slipped handily into a
coat pocket. 1t had gone through one
edition after another, until its bindine

Crockeyjoy's voice, for 1t was he who
had heard her. This time the Crock

cord which were wrapped on big reels
like Ruth had seen the boys use when
they flew kites. On the ends OF his
cord were two anchors. Before Ruth
could even ask the Crockeyjoy how
this cord was to be used, she and the
Crockeyjoy had shrunk so small that
