We're just going down to visit with him this evening.

He's a very fine old man, is Uncle Zed," this last to Mildred.
"Is he your uncle ?" "Oh, no; he's just uncle to everybody and no one in particular.

He's all by himself, and has no folks ?" Just before the dusk of the evening, the little party set out for the home of Zedekiah Manning, generally and lovingly known as Uncle Zed.

He lived about half a mile down the road in a two-roomed log house which had a big adobe chimney on one side.

His front yard was abloom with the autumn flowers.
