"Thankful for her silence," writes Caudle, "I was fast dropping to sleep; when, jogging my elbow, my wife observed 'Mind, there's the cold mutton to-morrow nothing hot till that's gone.

Hallheimer now put an end to the interview. "'Well Good-by, Fausch," said he, "I'll be jogging along." "Good-by!" said the smith.
