Then the spy whispered to the cleik .lust what he said or what signs he used no one knows, of course. Nor do they know what magic name of Mormon olliclal was used. Hut the clerk was given the necessary wisdom anyway. He turned to Donahue. "Sony" said he, with a smile, "but we've only got one loom and that has two beds." "That'sall right,"said Donahue, Pin used to it, "and the cleik gave him the same loom with the spy. Donahue went out and setved a subpoena on a school teacher.

The next morning Donahue and this loommate talked a long lime. The spy said he came fiom Washington Washing-ton and Donahue happened to have been in that State once, so when the sp) got mixed In his geography the deputy marshal had a chance to laugh In his sleeve.
