He lounged about town in his quiet way until he found out what he wanted to know. From the drug-store across the street from Spencer's shoe-store he got a good look at Ralph D. Spencer.

He was talking to his cousin, Jasper Jay. "I can tell you," said Jasper. "That Rabbit boy the one they call Jimmy has a shoe-store. You know he's always trying something new. He has had a barber's shop; and he's been a tooth-puller. And now he has opened a shoe-store over in the meadow."

A C , the little stoopy cobbler on street in , bought some machines to help him last year before I went away and added two or three slaves to do the work.
