Jack K&so has nicknamed me "The man with the Iron arms, and Abe, who Is a better man every way, laughs at my embarrassment and says I ought to feel honored. For one thing Jack Armstrong has become good dtisen. Bis wife has foxed a pair of breeches for Abe. They say McNoll has left the country. There baa been no deviltry here since that day.
