I can hardly believe that our Billy could be taken in by any such a poor fake as the man Miller whom he speaks of is, for Billie’s too sharp for that and I,am certain that Miller could not afford to pay ten cents a line for Billy's “stuff.” What gets me is that the -identical man whom Willie is booming so, is the very chap, from the description given of him, who beat a lady out of a week’s board in Gris city.
