there were covers for them, and would dart out

One Somerville young man who was
spending a fortnight in the country lost all
chance of making a favorable impression
on the farmers pretty daughter the very
first day he came. Her father came by the
front of the house, where the young man
was trying to make himself agreeable, and
the girl introduced him, saying;
This is my father. Mr.. Smythe."
"Oh, yes" responded the young man,
turning toward the old man, and slowly
holding out his hand. II saw you standing
over in the cornfeld little while ago, when
came up the road. "-Somerville Journal
