Well, Mrs. John L, still was hovering about the table. Finally John arose, took his cap and remarked that he was golng out to see how the carpenters were coming along iu their shingling. The reporter decidsd he had made a botch of the interview, but just as John reached a point of vantage behind Mrs. John, he gave the reporter an unmistakable “high sign” and then he and John double-crossad the smil level-eyed lady, Once out on “the place,” well out of earshot of the house, John L, opened up on politics. “No,” he said, “that's on the level, I ain't going to run for Congress.
