He's just a missioner that every feller in the forest's got a good word for, and anyway, it don't seem to me the feller who jumped in on you, and touched your bank roll is the sort to pass his time handlin' out tracts to the bums of the forest.

He had the meetin' packed with a lot of bums I never saw before, and, when I told 'em what I thought of 'em and him, he ordered me thrown out. I tore my card to pieces and chucked 'em in his fat face, and then one of the fellers that came with him hit me. They threw me down the stairs, and might 'a' killed me if there hadn't been one or two of my friends there. They call 'emselves union miners!
