committedsuicide from My Antonia by Willa Cather, p. 66 N Mr Shimada has char Antoncameto help Shimerdas Fuchs brought home with him a stranger, a young Bohemian who had taken a homestead near Black Hawk, and who came on his only horse to help his fellow-countrymen in their trouble. That was the first time I ever saw Anton Jelinek. He was a strapping young fellow Jim in the early twenties then, handsome, warm-hearted, and full of life, and he came to us like a griribes miracle in the midst of that grim business. I remember exactly how he strode into our kitchen in his felt boots and long wolfskin coat, his eyes and cheeks bright with the cold. At sight of ight grandmother, he snatched off his fur cap, greeting her in a deep, rolling voice which seemed eager older than he. char nntgfeisufnliq.anmdaegreewtsaf.am in offaffaFIis
