represented and old age, too.
In the jury box will be found the
rough rainment OF the man OF the
soil and the dandified dress OF the
big town clerk. There will smooth
shaven faces and pink and pale
cheeks to contrast with dropping
and sweeping mustachios- sun
baked tans and wind bitten ruddi-
ness.

accepted.
