CAPT'N ALLEN AND MISS CHARITY

I went sailin' down to Drovers awhile ago to blame the Cowboy for a couple birthday cards I received today that were postmarked in Geneseo. They were obvious forgeries and funnier than you can possibly imagine. There were "hidden" messages inside that made me howl. Anyway, I finally decided he wasn't the culprit and that someone I know well in Kanopolis has to be responsible. Upon closer examination, I noticed serifs with a certain familiarity that are a dead giveaway.

Anyway, while the Cowboy and I were wrangling over this, who should wander in but our friends Captain Allen and Miss Charity, just in from Edwards County. They'll be on their way soon to go see Ira E. Lloyd who is opening his house today to visitors. I suppose the Capt'n might get involved in a shoot out the way he was packing his pistols. Someone needs to watch the Derringer he has tucked into his belt in the back.
