| prominence as worker.
1t was known for miles around that
| Peter Cummins had at last found man
who was his superior at all kinds OF hus-
bandry.
The old tiller of the soil grew to hate

slant reminder to Peter OF the many de-
| feats he had suffered at his hands.
| And SO he began to cast about for an
excuse. good or bad, for discharging
him.
He found one sooner than he expected.
One moonlight evening in August
Peter paid his nearest neighbor visit,
and coming home through his back lane
at about o'clock came spat upon cou-
ple seated on log beneath the wide
| spreading branches of a chestnut tree.
The young mans arm encircled the
maiden's slim waist, her head rested on
his broad shoulder. and their hands

jumped to the ground, seized the hus-
bandman by the collar of his snuff COL
