I have heard the old folks of that country tell what a splendid figure of a man he was those days--six feet one in his stockings and broad at the shoulder.

His eyes were grey and set under heavy brows.

I have never forgotten the big man that laid hold of me and the broad clean-shaven serious face, that looked into mine the day I came to Paradise Valley.
As I write I can see plainly his dimpled chin, his large nose, his firm mouth that was the key to his character.

'Open or shet,' I have heard the old folks say, 'it showed he was no fool.' After two years David took a wife and settled in Paradise Valley.

He prospered in a small way considered handsome thereabouts.
