all. As I read it; I could hear the

a burro. And that ain't half. Though
there wasn't a word about woman in

mists in her eyes which she didn?t
know nor care about. For she had
read the poem which was in my hands,
the woman whom he had seen in his
mind and only there, the ''ideal wo-
man he was calling to in the poem.
And because she was the woman he
had never seen, the woman who was
in his head, the woman he was call-

c»uietly: "If. your .location has been

All the three miles I argued, plead-

could be done, as how this claim jump-

But as I said before, women and men
like Podner ain't reasonable. When
