business or real trouble In the
family. A telegram meant certain
death, No one IN the village ever
had received n cabiegram.
Candy left for q fortnight's rip
in his flivver and on returning, as
he approached the inn, tho entire
village was lined up, men, women
and children, gazing .open-eyed at

given him better service, Canby's
mystification grew.
Finally the inn-keeper. with the
whole village crowding In the door
to watch. presented Candy with
10 cables, two kilograms and a
series OF notes about iong. distance
phone calls.

from members Of tho Book-of-the-
