Well, l am here, with a good appe- tite for supper.n said Len.

and would keep the promise had no, grandma's vision so impressed me-"
 He then gave an account of his en- counter with Honeycutt.
 "Well I'll swear, that is strange" said he old man. "l don's understand it There is something strange about your grandmother. Sometimes she says l look for So and. So to-day, and, the first thing I know, here comes So and So Len why did the fellow want to kill you 2''
 "l have no idea, unless 1t was that he thought suspected him of whipping Haney."
 "Do you really think that he helped to whipped Mort2"
 "Yes"

 "I, won't do to tell Mort"
 "Why1"
 "Well, he's so mad that he'll go right to work without Investigatin' the matter
 T doL't intend to tell him what sus pect. It is better to let him make his own discoveries and sum up his own con clusions."
 "Honeycutt is mean enough to do any thing" the old man said. He has never been known to do anything des- perate, but ever since he was a boy he has been looked on as no count feller that would do anything mean. He is as l. zy as dog an ef it want fer the cole nel he would starve to death"
 "Well, we'll not
 Hello, in thar" called voice.

 Oh, sorter sore but able ter be stir rin'. How are yer Len? wife an me 'cluded we'd come over ter night as we didn't have nothin' else ter do. Men folks won't stay at home an wimin folks don't like ter. Socn be time ter bergin stirrin' uv ther s'ile, Mir Gansett." 1"
 "Yes," old Bob replied. For the last day or so l have felt nightly like seein the dirt turned over. Yistedy caught the scent O burnin' grass an could hardly keep from plowin' few furrows "
 When they reached the house they found Mrs. Gansett deep in the descrip. tion oi the impression which had come upon her that evening. "B,b an Len won't believe me-" said Mrs. Gsnsett, |" but l tell them that they do not under stand wimin folks
 "That they don't" replied Mrs. Ha- ney, ".hat they don't. Mort he laughs at me when tell him that I have that sorter feelin', but"
 "l,'s bercase ain't got no faith in it." Mort replied.
 "Now femme tell yer" continued Mrs Haney, turning to Mrs Gsnsett. "Some time ago me an Mort went over ter Bra. ley's an as we was comin' back, l says Mort, something has happened at home, somethin' awful' How do yer know ? , says he, 'cause,' says l, q feel that CT way an l jes know thar is,' an bless yer, when we got home we found that some thin had got in ter ther smoke-house an stole the last midlin' uv meat we had"
 Wall," said Mort, "the meat woulder been gone ef yer hadnter felt that way"
 "Yas, but felt that way"
 "Ah, hah, an ef ye,'d CT felt that way an hadenter found nothin' missin', yer wouldn't have been so keen ter tell it. Come ter think erbout it, yer never tell me erbout yer strange feelin's till airter somethin' has dun happened"
