her, and she sprung and went by those
horses quicker! Well, the hack was

upswith it, and Joe got out with
Thomas and I got in with Amt.
Tom had got to go up street to get a
can for the creamery. called out to
him as he went of:
Look out for your mail on the seat, :

So he turned. round. I tell you
I felt real bad. I couldn't think

them letters, and see he was worried
to death. After we got to the house
and Aunt Simons was fixing up stairs
he drove up with Joe.

The ANXIOUS face flushed and tn

"Aunt Marcia, shouldn't know

such contingency was too much.
Aunt Marcia smiled.
