The small boys can manage tor— “‘T don’t want no guess work about it, for that’s a matter o’ life and death. If that letter 'll go straight say So, and if it won't just unlimber your tongue and give me square music.” “‘T'll guarantee that it will find the person to whom it is addressed,” said the clerk, who had deciphered the hieroglyphics on the envelope. ‘Then that ‘s all right, but if it don’t get thar’ on time I'll have you took up for murder. That letter’s fur my feller back in Illinoy, an’ he writ that if I wouldn't marry him right off he'd kill hisself, an’ I ve writ back that he kin come on an’ double up jest as soon ashe wants ter. If that letter don’t get thar straight Jim ’s just fool enough to swaller a dose of pizen or somethin’, an’ mind, young man, that you are liable to be pulled any minute for murder if he does. My name’s Rhoda Lumly, an’ anybody that knows the Lumlys ’ll tell you that we’re not to be fooled with when human life is at stake. And she shook a warning finger at the clerk and walked out.—Detrort Free Press.
