Besides Norah, there lived with the Blossoms Sam Layton, who ran Father Blossom's car and did all the outside work about the place; Philip, a very intelligent and amiable dog, and Annabel Lee, an affectionate and much beloved cat. Dear me, Twaddles had some rabbits, too. He would want you to know those. And now that you are properly introduced, let us go and see what happened to Bobby.

Layton, although strict to severity in the school-room, was a kind-hearted man and was fond of the Ribsam children, for they were bright, cheerful, and obedient, and never gave him any trouble, as did some of his other pupils. He listened to Nick's story, and his sympathy was aroused at once.

"None since last week. Layton was here from Pittsburg on the 22d." "Did he sell anything?" "I think he did sell Cutter a small bill" "How many stores are there here?" "Three that sell guns. Are you in the gun business!" "Yes. I am from Pittsburg." And every step I took I, figuratively, kicked myself for being there, and for being a blasted fool generally.

Denis Quirk waited until the other had gone. Then he went to Kathleen to find her working among the flowers, filling the vases and placing them in the positions where Mrs. Quirk had liked to see them.

Christopher Layton left Arizona June 13, 1898, for his old home in Kaysville, Utah, where he died August 7.

"Then it was before ?" "Some of them were before," said I. Lady Mickleham drew a long breath. "Archie will be in soon," said she. I took my hat.

Since he has no doubt for good reasons not mentioned to you " "Alice Layton was a positive fright."

Elder Christopher Layton made choice of this locality. Other lands were secured in the State of Chihuahua. President Taylor and his party called upon Governor Torres at Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora, and were received by that official with marked courtesy."
