for the school in our adjoining dis

Fathers farm was bounded on the
south by the line dividing the districts,
and our nearest neighbor was the
treasurer OF mo. 10"
On the next farm to him, and cor

three sturdy boys, good team, two or
three cows. some pigs and poultry, and

The treasurer OF mo. TO-" whom we
will call Smith by way OF designation,

also was the possessor OF three boys.

In marked contrast to the slow, steady,
firm, fair-haired sons OF the widow.
One morning, in the early fall, Mr..
Smith called ut our house and Incl

school-house OF mo. 10n was within
three days OF completion, and that the
school meeting which had been called
for next day would be held there. AS
he mounted his horse he called to
father: You'll be over tomorrow.

On hearing Mr.. Smiths invitation, q
