Ill bet a dollar to a nickel that Mr. Kelly never saw a red haired Fin in his lite, he didn’t under any consideration on the fatal day he went through so much hardship, unless it was in his own imaginary top story, and so far as his experimental brains are concern- ed they prove themselves good and sound in bringing their owner home to a good supper and warm bed the same night while the two big babies were left out in the cold, hungry and helpless, ’til somie farmer took pity on them and brought them down on his big lumber wagon to mama’s open arms three days later, Cuas.
