Deacon Boomer caught sight of him !
be said:
"1 observe that Mr Rilling* has Jost

"Yon may." answered T.lsh. "Yon

yon are poing to hang It Will It lie on ;

I supposed some of you woo Id look ont 1

"Perhaps the tin peddler can help ns

were shouts of "Peddler, peddler:*

stand up In response Deacon Ilosmer
beld up hi* hand and said:
"Perhaps Mr. Billings will be kind
enonch to act as a committee of one to

the |>eddler over."
"It wouldn't be any use." replied
Llsh. with a prftt. "He left town half
