This man, this fiend, killed ouah fellow-citizen Calvin Greathouse he brutally murdered him. Not content with murder, he attempted to destroy his body with fiah, seekin' thus to wipe out the record of his crime.

It seems queer a feller devoting his life to bumming through the forests and seekin' shelter where you couldn't find shelter from a summer dew. He's got no fixed home. Maybe he's sort of crazed."

"Why, no, Ancient; you see, he happened to be wearing a bell-crowned hat and a long coat." "A 'at an' coat!" said the old man in a disappointed tone "a 'at, Peter?" "Yes," I nodded. "To be sure, the Scripters say as 'e goeth up an' down like a ravening lion seekin' whom 'e may devour." "Yes," said I, "but more often, I think, like a fine gentleman!"
