Then,with giggling apologies, Elmer showed his collection of
what hecalled Art Photographs.

something! He sprang up, hat in hand, groping for his overcoat.
Good thing
forole Elmer you never let loose that darn mule-kick of yours,Brother Bains! He
considered, meanwhile, That ought to hold you, damn you! I do wish you wouldnt
act like aten-year-old kid ALL the time! Never did get reborn of the spirit

walked out, to the laughter of Brother Gantry andBrother Karkis. Shewanted to

dont suppose I have done altogether right, maybe. She sent him whining little
notes at Mizpah.
