When they met, Harkless shook each of them cordially by the hand, without seeming to know it.
"We were coming to look for you," explained the judge.

"William was afraid to go home alone; thought some one might take him for Mr.
Harkless and shoot him before he got into town.

Can you come out with young Willetts in the morning, Harkless," he went on, "and go with the ladies to see the parade?
And Minnie wants you to stay to dinner and go to the show with them in the afternoon." Harkless seized his hand and shook it fervently, and then laughed heartily, as he accepted the invitation.
At the gate, Miss Sherwood extended her hand to him and said politely, and with some flavor of mockery: "Good-night, Mr.Harkless.I do not leave to-morrow.

I am very glad to have met you." "We are going to keep her all summer if we can," said Minnie, weaving her arm about her friend's waist.

"You'll come in the morning ?" "Good-night, Miss Sherwood," he returned, hilariously.
