Don't you know that they tried to shoot Mr. Moore last night?","She may turn up at any moment," said Captain Acton, with more gloom than the hope his words expressed justified.

We would have to shut down, wouldn’t we?”,One tall, ambitious girl contributed a unique float called, “Lot’s Wife Looking Backward.” She had not been certain of the color for the desert, consequently had made the whole thing, including the wagon, the boys, and herself snowy white.
