Captain Elisha Warren, who lived over in South Denboro and was also a director in the bank, covered the situation when he said: "Jed Dean is one of those fellers who ought to have a big family to order around.

The Almighty gave him only one child and so he adopted Denboro and is bossin' that." "I want to talk to you, Ros," repeated Captain Jed.

"Come here." He led the way to the settee by the calico and dress goods counter.

I put the unread letter in my pocket and followed him.
"Set down," he ordered.

"Come to anchor alongside." I came to anchor.
"How's your mother ?" he asked.
