After the singing, and a prayer by one of the city pastors who was present, Gray stated the reason for his inability to speak, and in his simple manner turned the service over to "Brother Maxwell of the First Church."

"Ah Pat, my friend he b'long number one Flickleman, boss man." The withered little creature bobbed in his blue robe, grinning at the introduction. "You welly high-tone man," he murmured amiably.

Company ain't wanted at the Scissor Outfit, and they'd high-tone it over you so 'twouldn't be noways enjoyable."

No, sir, we've no use for a missis rustling round with a long-handled broom on the track of us, and I'm going to move an amendment." "You can't do it," said Johnston.
