would produce If she could find it, along
with the bank book. He brought some
wire fencing which she paid for and on
several occasions made her presents of
uurnips, potatoes, chickens, beets,
onions, peaches, apples and pears, but
for his work paid him, and always paid
him when he asked for the money, other
Use she considered what small proyis-

He also gave her $40 to pay off one of

man down after them and afterward

the time and she did not hear all OF the
conversation between them. That they
DID NOT EXCHANGE KISSES
at that time. She could not remember
of having written to him to come down

friend, but could not remember what she
wrote to him. Another letter was intro
