came out the day after, she lost nc time
in telling Mr.. Stubbs that we wanted a
carriage, with a horse we could drive our
selves, at three in the afternoon. Mr..
Stubbs was not hard of hearing, nor par
ticularly dense of understanding, but he
liked to have things reiterated; so about
half an hour after We had clearly express
ed our wishes he came into the room,
looking for bis hat, and remarked:
"Said ye wanted that waggin at bout
three o'clock. didn't We ~
Eyes, Mr. Stubs" said Dot and /
Then he went away again, and didn't
come back for an hour. this time with his
hat on his head.
"Hullo, Mr.. Stubbs,' said Cadwallader
one Of the men, hopeless invalid, come
for the sea air, with whom the rainy day
had made US acquainted, "Found your
hat ? Lucky You come in Jest when you
did jest thinkin' bout advertisin for it
in the Boston papers"
Cadwallader was a man of about fifty,
a genuine Yankee with none Of the Yam
kee culture. whose native humor had not
been driven out by years Of illness
"Na'al, vase, found it; 'tWarn't gone
! for Ong." Mr.. Stubbs was never quite at
ease under Cadwalladers chat. "Lessee.
You said You wanted that hoss long bout
half past two didn't ye?"
"Yes," said Dot, acrdly
"Yase, | calc'lated that was the time
We said"
"That's one of your hard working New
England farmers, upon whom the atmos-
! phere has no effect, suppose" said Dot,
is he left the room.
Mr. Stubs was a splendid specimen of
this race physically. He stood six feet
/ two, believe, and looked strong enough
to ploW an acre or two before breakfast
and think nothing of it, after the manner
Of the ordinary centenarian who hasntve
used tobacco in any form. But if he did
anything Of this kind he was very still
about it-yery STILL indeed. His wife and
daughter. quiet and intelligent women,
managed everything quietly and intelli-
| gently but Mr.. Stubbs seemed to eXpcnd
large quantity of time "harnessin' up"
We never quite lealued what he har-
messed up for
"Wa'al, Mr. Stubbs, said CadwalIader,
later in the morning. "where you ben
this long tine ?"
"Wa'al, I've been over to see Wilson
bout the hoss them ladies wanted. Ye
said ye wanted it tween two and three,
didn't We ?'
Dot didn't answer She was easily put
out with Mr, Stubbs much more easily
