'Liah's guilty conscience did not bring
about the proverbial insomnia, but long
after his snores had begun to resound
through the low chamber, Aunt Lucy's
eyes were wide open, and her ears intent
on the slightest noise. She grinned uneasily
in the dark as she heard slight rustic by

smile and a muttered "Bress de Lord"
went soundly to sleep.
The first sun-rays were shining In at the
window through the morning-glories, the
early breakfast was smoking ON the table,
the six young Johnsons were stragslinA
down in various stages Of sleepiness, Aunt
Lucy was bending over the stove and 'Liah
washing at the sink. when loud knock was
heard at the kitchen door, which, being

stood the village constable. In his hand
was an old and much-battered hoe. 'Liah
saw the hoe and his upper jaw fell. Aunt
Lucy's gaze also was riveted in amazement
on the same article.
'Goliath Johnson" said the constable,
"you're my prisoner. You stole Mr.. Ben
sons hoe"
"Fore de Lord, Mr.. Benson. amt got yo'
hoe. What you doin' with mine!"
"You needn't pretend that you left your
old hoe in my barn yesterday by mistake,
'Liah Johnson" burst in Mr.. Benson, 'as II
you couldn't tell this old thing from my new
hoe. Luckily took note Of your hoe yester-
day, and so found you out. What have you
got to say for yourselfs'
"You may search dis place, Mr.. Benson,
from top to bottom an side to side, an you
won fin no silver Of yo' old hoe. how you
got mine, 'clar give up, but you kin see
for yo'self. Now, here's where keeps my
hoe" and 'Liah swung open the woodshed
door.
There hung Mr.. Benson's new hoe
"Y.u Paulr' fairly shouted Aunt Lucy,
pouncing on her young hopeful, ''what did
you do las night!''
"Did jist what you top me-" blubbered
Paul. "Took back dat hoe an changed 1t
for de one in Mr.. Benson's barn."
''Took back uhat hoer' shouted 'Liah in

By this time Mr. Benson saw that there
was something more in the matter than he
had supposed, and, sending away the con.
stable, he got from the worthy couple, with
much circumlocution, tho story of the
nights mistakes. Being Q man with some
sense OF humor, he was quite molliaed BY
the comicalities Of the situation. and even
went % far a. to take breakfast with the
Johnsons, in response to Aunt Lucy's re-
peated solicitations and in token Of restored
good feeling.
