"Shakespeare" is what his friends call him. We don't know what his dad called him—we would hate to guess. Nevertheless, we know that Grayson, Kentucky, is not responsible for him, for if it had been, it would never have turned him loose on the world with an umbrella that folds into a walking cane. "Shake" is another one of those notebook fiends, and he can go through a law book quicker'n the best of Judge's Flock.
