Just as the last forkful was being pitched over the corral fence, the boy looking up saw a vehicle approaching.,"Oh yes, thoroughly—very thoroughly.","A proof of his innocence," cried Jen, promptly.，"Thank ye, miss. Ye mane it kindly, I know," says the woman, wearily. "But the big world is too small to hold one dhrop of comfort for me.
