one day three privates, on their WAY
home from the army. called at the house
for a cold luncheon.
Mrs. Sproat set on the table some
bread and cheese, with the remains of
the family dinner. Ebenezer thought
this rather scanty fare for hungry men,
especially as the bones were already
pretty bare. However, the men salts
fed their appetites and asked what was
to pay Captain Sproat answered that
he did not know, no would ask his moth
er, and going to the kitchen door he
said:
Mother, how much is it worth to pick
these bonesY'
"About shilling, suppose" she an
swered.
He went back to the room. took from
the drawer shillings, and with smil-
ing face handed them to the men, at the
same time wishing them good day and d
pleasant journey.
When they had been gone few mir
utes, Mrs. Sproat returned and asked
Ebenezer what he had done with the
money that the men had paid him.
"Paid mel" said the captain. with an
air Of amazement. Didn't ask you
what it was worth to pick those bones,
and didn't,you say shilling? I Thought
it little enough for such job and
handed them the money from the till.
and they are gone"
