FELIX THE FAITHLESS To Whitey's intense relief the following morning was clear, and he realized, with delight, that at last he would be able to get away from the T Up and Down.

He had never been so tired of a place in his life.

"I'm sure glad you bin able t' stay a coupl'a days," he said.

"It musta bin a pleasant change for you, an' it's give me a chanst t' think over this here important business o' your father's.

I've writ a letter for you t' deliver, t' my friend Walt Lampson, o' the Star Circle, down so'east o' here a piece, for you t' take t' him.
