mo- was the reluctant reply.
'Well, then, should you thank God
that you have akind huSbaRdy'
She was forced to admit this, and
promised that she would thank cd
every night and morning for His
mercy. Some days elapsed before
the minister revisited her dwelling,
but when he did 50, he was struck
with her bright look, aS she greeted

TOngh StorY,

Jake McGinnis lived out in Donega,
andis noted for drawing the hong bow
One day he had JUS, stepped into the
bar room for his clistomay gluss. when
he, wac asksd for yarn. Al first he
declined, saying he could not think Of
one; but the Offst Of drink sharpen
ed iiis memory, and Jake related the
following 'stretcher;'
'Are you aware, he began, that my
father did u little in the drOver'S line,
and very often went with him?-
Well. he once HAD a hundred cattle,
and about twice as mahy tTrkeys TO
drive Rthree hundred miles. They
wUfe q very awkward drove, as you
must know, and as he needed my as
distance accordingly assisted him -
We'll, We drove them three hundred
nilesin four days ,...
What's thatF said one Of the loaf.
sFS, three hundred miles in four days?
that's TOD much Of good thing.
Jake Why, that would be seventy
ives miles a day
Jake, after d moment's reflection,
thought his statement was rather
steep, so he said, But you see we
DRIVE night AID day.
But, interrupted another loafer,
did you not lave trouble with the
turkeys! 4-s f.u
l 'No,iSaid Jake, only they would
go. to roose every evening little be-
fore dark f tfE ,'
But continued the interrogation.
'how could you drive night and day
when'the turkeys wentto rOost before
daFk? That's rather mixed, jake
Jake perceived that he he'd made a
,hlnnder, but nothing danhted, he con.
tinued - s+
li You didn't hear me out | didn't
tell youn where they went To roost
Where did they rOost them inqu.
rcd the lOafer. -.
O why on the cat,le'R back, ofcourse'
