with no such appetite that farmer
ought to have, and / could not think
that my appetite had begun to fail.
However, l ate my breakfast, and
went out and hitched up the old mare,
for to tell the truth, / was feeling in
need of glass of spirits, and hadn't
a drop in the house, was in hur-
ry to get to the village. Ihitched up
and came in for the jug. / went for
it in the old cupboard and took it out
and
did you ever break through thin
ice on swapping cold day, and find
yourself in an instant overhead in
freezing cold water! Because that
was the way felt at that moment.
The jug was there but the bottom was
gone. Mollie had taken sharp CHS.
el and hammer, and with the skill
that might have done credit to q
master workman, she clipped the bot
tom clean off the jug without even
cracking the edges Of the sides. l
looked at the jug and then she burst
out. She spoke-oh. l had never
heard anything like it. She said:
Charles, that's where the mort
gage on this farm came from It was
brought home within that iug-two
quarts at time. And that's where
your white, clear skin and clear pret-
ty eyes are going And in that jug,
my husband, your appetite is going
also Oh, let the bottom remain out
forever Let it be as it is, dear heart.
And remember your promise to me-
"And then she threw her arms
around me and burst into tears. She
could speak no more.
"And there was no need. My eyes
were opened as though by magic. In
a single minute the whole scene pass.
ed before me. / saw all the mort
cages on the farms in our neighbor-
hood, and thought where the money
had gone. The very last mortgage
father ever made was to pay bill
held against him by the man who had
filled his jug for years. Yes, saw it
as it passed before me, a flittering pic
ture of rum |! rum rum debt debt!
debt and in the end death And !
returned my Mollie's kiss, and I said
"Mollie, my own, I'll keep the
promise will, so help me heaven
"And have kept it. In less than
five years, as Mollie had said, the
mortgage was cleared off; my appe.
tite came back to me; and now we've
got few thousand dollars at interest.
There bangs the old jug, just as we
hung 1t on that day and from that
time there hasn't been drop of spirits
brought into the house for beverage,
which that bottomless jug wouldn't
hole.
Dear old jug We mean to keep
il and hand il down to our children
for the lesson il can give to them
lesson of life; a happy life, prosper
Gus, peaceful and blessed !"
And as he ceased speaking, his wife
