BY this time the whole company had
risen, and were trying to interrupt the
reading, when Uncle Joe, in voice of
thunder commanded attention. They
all fell back into their seats, and re-
manned, with many curious changes of
countenance, silent to the end.

Uncle Joe quietly folded up the
scrawl, and looked out from under the
thatch of his eyebrows at Hedge, who,
CHANGING at Lou, and seeing she was
| dangerous, silently left the room and
the house. Sorghum followed also,
politely escorted to the door by Uncle
Joe's steady gaze. The method failed
with Fred Tremaine, for the look only
sent him as far as Rosie's side, where
he sat down with determination. Mrs.
Gloss was sobbing Historically, and her
husband seemed inclined to drop down
