Do you live in Nashuy or beyond?” "I should like to know what business It is of yours where I live or who I am?” said his companion crossly. "Well, bow, It ain’t any partic’lar business o’ mine, strictly speaking,” said Mr. Riggs mildly, "but It’s jest Jlke this: I’ve got a cousin up in Canady that I’ve never seen, and I’ve always thought I might edme upon him some time jest by askin’ folks their name and so on.”
