TOL'ABLE DAVID

“Even from the girl he had heard it - "Why, you aint grown up yet David but you're tol'able"”

Young David Kinemon is a good-natured, easy-going lad in a mountain village. Circumstances force him to take his brother's place as mail carrier for the community, and this brings him into deadly contact with the vicious Hatburn brothers.
