Could you swear that what you saw was not a rubber sole attached to a leather or canvass shoe?" "No; I couldn't." "And the voice? Did you hear any of the man's words?

After a most gallant canvass, Judge Ranney failed of an election, though he ran ahead of the other candidates on the ticket in all parts of the State.

We'd make a honeymoon of it then, canvassing it together!" he pleaded softly. "I'll marry you, Bob, but not for such a honeymoon as that! Oh, I'm sick and tired of politics. I never want to hear the word again. I'll just barely vote for you, that's all!" she sighed. "Upon my word," he laughed, drawing her closer and kissing her. "I thought you'd be keen for the canvass."
