CHAPTER n.
McGinness came very near being lynched by the desperate citizpns of Cragnville, for compelling Mrs. Ms-CHnnesa to bitch the "young " mule while he always tackled the disabled ''old" one. The community at large seemed to prefer the martjrdom of Mr. McGinness in the interest of the peculiarities of rauiedom, than to have sacrificed the lees discerning Mrs. McGmnesp.
And so, very shortly subsequently to this raomentuouß event, Mr. McGiuness, with the ponderous accumulations of his years of toil in the Terra Del Oio, packed in an old timeworn carpet-sack, care-worn and weary, departed for the home of his youth, where he could rest from his labors and soothe the mutiplicity of his sorrows in his declining years, in reveling in the Bacchanalian pleasures afforded in imbibing Budweiser beer at the '• free" and "easy" saloon, around the corner.
The fleeting years fled. Alas I how Boon have they flodden.
