He put up at a saloon where he could keep an eye on Maroney, and having bought some new shirts and a second-hand satchel, he felt once more that he was a respectable man.

There is no better little woman on earth than my wife" Pete choked up again. "You write to her this very night, and go back to her and your children just as soon as you can get the money to pay your way. Act the man, and all will come right yet. I have writing materials here in my satchel pen, ink, paper, envelopes, stamps, every thing; I am an editor, and go fixed up for writing."

She opened the little satchel hanging at her belt, and from it took a folded slip of paper which she handed to Polly, telling her she might have it to read, and when she had finished it to please bring it back to her.

There, Dinah, you may carry away my hat and cloak," Ella said, divesting herself of them as she spoke, "but leave the satchel.
"Don't! don't! You'll be run over yes, over over indeed! Wait for the policeman yes, policeman 'liceman, indeed!"
