good wife. She was small eater, n
great saver, and her funeral expenses
were thirty dollars, saying nothing
of what the watchers ate up. Never-the-
less, can't allus mourn for Hammer,

bosom--I must have some one TO doat

She waited fer him to finish, and then,
wheeling round on him, with her nose
as sharp as q knife and her eyes wink
ing forty times a minute, she hissed:
You dried-up old idiot, don't give
me any more such talk, or I'll claw your
eyes outr'
He fell back in lump, mouth open
and eyes expressing tyenty-seven diff
ferent grades of amazement. 1t was
full two minutes before he knew what
hit him, and by that time the young
woman had started out to inquire about
her train.
"There goes person" :" began the old
man, watching her sail away" there
goes person who will no sooner go
TO heaven when she dies than I'll go
from here to London tonight, and don t
you forget it.n
He fell into dreamy state, and
hardly realized his surroundings for the

train left that depot for Dayton.
"She does, she doesr' he replied in
heap, and at the same time hitching
along for her to sit down. She sat. He
his experience with the hatchet-faced
woman. He looked at this one, esti-
mated her weight at 1851 pounds, her
temper at mild and her heart at tender,
and she hadn't seen much more of him
than his feet when he tenderly asked;
Madam, are you going up into old
Kyhog?n
"N-no, sir,n she replied.
"Were you ever thereP'
"No, sir"
"Well, it's gorgeous county,
madam. There's rivers, and breezes,
and landscapes, and mountains, and

to come up there
YES" she passively answered
Fright up in the beautifullest part OF
old Kyhog is lovely farm. The house
is red, trimmed with white. There
knobs on the doors that cost shilling
apiece. There are carpets on no less
than two floors. Sunhowers wave
around the house; horses and cattle
wave around the barn. A cider-mil
waves across the. road. There's rich
ness whichever way you look"
"Yes,n she again replied.

jerked the sachel away.

sputtered, as she crossed the room.
He looked after her in hungry way
and as she fell into another seat h
sighed:
