One-half of the meat was confiscated, but the novelty of the sergeant's patriotic plea saved him further penalty. No. 3. Caught in a negro shanty, in company with an old wench. The crowd laughed; while the subject, a tall cadaverous-looking fellow, protested earnestly that he was only waiting while the wench baked him a hoe-cake. "Guard duty for the night," said the Colonel. "Poor devil!
Brace up for here he is." There was a knock on the door. "Come in," said Holmes, cheerily. A tall cadaverous-looking man opened the door and entered. As his eye fell upon us, he paused on the threshold. "I beg your pardon," he said. "I I'm afraid I'm in the wrong " "Not at all come in and sit down," said Holmes, cordially. "That is if you are our friend and partner, Cato Darlington couldn't wait "

Only one man at Meeker appeared to be attracted by the news that Rancher Bill Belllounds was offering employment.

The chair was taken by a local auctioneer, a cadaverous-looking man, with never a twinkle in his eye, who, in a lengthy discourse and with the single monotonous gesture of beating the palm of one hand with the back of the other, strove to bring home to his audience the degradation of their present political status.
No. 2 on a level with the street was the habitat of the family of Mr Trafaim, a cadaverous-looking gentleman who wore a top hat, boasted of his French descent, and was a shop-walker at Sweater's Emporium. No. 3 was tenanted by an insurance agent, and in No. 4 dwelt a tallyman's traveller.
