Glidden who is to speak is quite an eloquent fellow," said Starr's father as the President got up to introduce the speaker of the evening whom all had come to hear. "The man who was just talking with me says he is really worth hearing. If he grows tiresome we will slip out. I wonder which one he is? He must be that man with the iron-gray hair over there." "Oh, I don't want to go out," said Starr.
What has been done about starting the general hue and cry about those robbers?" Starr stammered when he said that he supposed that the local constable had notified the sheriff.
