"I'll Kpf ttiev Hirl Wn iH I'm
going to watchi that box with a. shot
gun. What's the good of a man. pay
ing for something he dont get? The
man that took that paper better not
let me catch himl I wouldn't hardly
shoot him, I reckon especially if he
had just borrowed it. But if I don't
give him a , piece . of my mind
Imagine a grown man taking your
paper instead of subscribing himself!
That's what I call low down, and I
won't make any bones about telling
whoever it, is, when 1 find out who
it is borrowing my paper. -It aint
right........Heilo, here comes Judd Til-
lery. Howdy, Judd." ' '
"Howdy, Henry. How're you all?
Here's your paper. I borrowed it for
a little while. Knowed you wouldn't
care. tteen Dorrym 5am sevens
copy, but he got niad about it dern
partie'lar cuss and I ain't goin' tQ
borry offen nobody that I ain't on
good terms ' with. His box is a mile
closer'n yourn too, but that ain't no
fault of yours of course. Here's the
paper.. Much obliged Henry. I'll
always bring it back on Saturday.
Don't want you to have to bother to
come over to my house for it. I'll
always bring it back. So long."
"Oh, you're welcome, Judd. I
hadn't even missed the paper. Much
obliged for bringing it back. Come
in, won't you?"
"No; Got to go. Just borrowed
Jim Stancill's farm paper, and want
to git home and read it. I come by
early, afore he got to the box and
got it. Course, it's out of my way a
little by Jim's box, but I can borry
and save the price of a subscription
'a dollar saved is a dollar made' is
my motto. So long."
