the crock, and, pointing to 1t, quietly re-
marked:
"Tnis, of course, is to be taken from the
gross weight, as we'll as the jar"
The farmer looked at the stole for sew

low that no one else could hear, replied:
"Please kiver a piece OF paper over the
jar, for there's a man out by the door who
knows me-"

plot, and the butte sellers face underwent
a sudden change. Reaching over the sugar

"I didn't hsrdlv believe it, though my
wife came from a tricky family, and i
