CHAPTER I
Eliph' Hewlitt


Eliph' Hewlitt, book agent, seated in his weather-beaten top buggy, drove his
horse, Irontail, carefully along the rough Iowa hill road that leads from
Jefferson to Clarence. The Horse, a rusty gray, tottered in a loose-jointed
manner from side to side of the road, half asleep in the sun, and was indolent
in every muscle of his body, except his tail, which thrashed violently at the
flies. Eliph' Hewlitt drove with his hands held high, almost on a level with his
sandy whiskers, for he was well acquainted with Irontail.
