nanny told me without doubt or ques-
ton, till the story of the ark came;
then faith wavered; was lSneeling on
a stool, my arms resting on the kitchen
work table, five-by-ten feet receptacle
for all things needful in the prep
aration of meal. Nanny was oppo-
site cutting up fowl for dinner in one
of the enormous dishpans of that day.
She gave me full description OF the
flood, with all the preparations leading
up to it.

Noah's wife objected to the snakes
coming in, but was doubly sympathetic

spiders were more than she could
stand grew calmer as Noah assured
her that the latter were to go into a
closet in the attic, the door to be ceiled
up, and as to the snakes, they would be
boxed and set away in a corner of the
same attic.

be given, followed till all was ready

to ride the waves was proven, /

novelists, and generally ended their
stories pleasantly, virtue and the right
triumphing.)
'But my peace was to be disturbed; a
question sprang up. Long as had
known from other sources the story of
the flood, none of these thrilling de-
tails had been given me; why were they
left out of sacred history, and how had
nanny secured them? / asked if she
were sure of her information. She re-
piled, perfectly sure. After some con-
sideration l ventured, with misgiving,
to ask her how she gained her knowl-
edge.

titude which said plainly, it is aston
