Maude was nervous about them, and she urged me to ask them if they were the widows of Rufus Small, but I restrained my curiosity, t No widows had been mentioned in the will, and I had no desire to discover any. Ity and by we found a man who knew where the Surrogate was. "Would he be good enough to tell us? lie would. The town.
