LETTER JUST
CAHE FOR UNCLE
EVERETT
HIS HEART NEARLY
5T0PPED BEATING
WHEN HE SAW
THE HAND-WRlTiM--HE
COULD SCARCELY
BELIEVE HIS EYES
HOW WELL HE
KNOWS THAT
HAND-WRITING
IT'S ELSIE'S
WS ELSIE! the 4RL
HE'S SEARCHED THE
WORLD TRYING TO
FIND!

AW, 6EE. I WISH WE
KNEW WHERE ELSIE
IS,UNCLE' ISNT THERE
SOME MARK ON THE
ENVELOPE TO SHOW
WHERE THE LETTER
WAS MAILED FROM?
THE PRAIRIE JUNCTION POST-MARK IS
PLAIN ENOUGH! ELSIE ADDRESSED THE
LETTER TO ME THERE.AND IVS BEEN
FORWARDED HERE,BUT I CANT MAKE
OUT THE POST-MARK OF THE TOWN
FROM WHERE ELSIE ORIGINALLY MAILED
THE LETTER
S'
LOOK AT
UNCLE EVERETT
DASHING DOWN
THE STREET?
HE'S 6)ING
UVEt? TO
THE
POST-
OFPK.E!
WHAT A PITY THAT
THE POST- MARK IS SO
INDISTINCT! IF UNCLE
ONLY KNEW WHERE
THE LETTER WAS MAILED
FROM IT WOULD
AID HIM
TO FIND
ELSIE!
AND ON THE OTHER HAND IT
. MIGHT NOT MEAN A THING.TOOTSi
I ELSIE HAVE MAILED IT FROM
A TRAIN OR FROM
SOME TOWN SHE WAS
JUST PASSING THROUGH
ISN'T THERE SOMEWAY
WE CAN FIND OUT WHERE
THAT LETTER WAS MAILED
FROM? I MUST KNOW!
I'VE OT TO
WE'D UKE TO HELP YOU.
MR CHUCKLE.BUT I'M AFRAID
ITS IMPOSSIBLE' THERE'S NO
WAV ON EARTH TO MAKE
OUT THIS POST-MARK!
ELSIE LOVES ME I KNEW IT I FELT IT - -
SHE SACRIFICED HER HAPPINESS FOR WHAT SHE ,
CONSIDERED MY BEST INTERESTS SHE LEFT TO
SAVE MY NAME-FROM DISGRACE AT THE HANDS
OF HER RASCALLY BROTHER!
OH. IF t COULD ONLY FIND
HER IF I COULD CLASP
HER IN" MY ARMS AND
TELL HER THAT t LOVE
HER I WANT HER
AND NOTHING ELSE
