ground. : ial was Of no avail, and
finally Mr.. Thomas got the alleged de-
linquent 10 come over 10 his garden on

how a squash seed on the other side Of
tho fence had sent forth It's vines in tres

being an enormous squash. This Mr..
Thomas had tended carefully. and now
presented with quiet humor TO his sur
