THE COLONEL. As the party approached the hotel, they saw on the wide porch which ran along the front of the main building a man in a wheeled chair. “That’s the colonel,” said Adam. “He owns the hotel and pretty much the whole town besides.” “He’s in an invalid’s chair,” remarked Phil; “but he don’t look very sick.”
