Sam didn't just like the way she an
swered him, and, shifting uneasily from

If you can't git no one else, reckon

a little while after, as she laid little

You don't want to talk that way"
Margin don't always keep folks
from actin the fool"
"But ma, we've got the baby" she
said, as she turned the shawl back
from the little, smooth head, and
looked fondly at the tiny, red wrinkled
face. Don't you think the baby looks
like Sam, map"
mo, it's too flat-nosed to look like
anybody" And then, seeing Lindy's
disappointed look, she added: "But it's
more'n likely twill favor him when 1t
gifts big"
In little while Sam drove up with
Win. She hurried In the house. ''And

Indy, looking after her as she went
out of the door.

them both. 1t bothered her to hear

mother.
La, me, air you in bed yit?- she
said, as she unpinned her shawl "And

room seemed to be spinning round and
round.
II knowed it; all you needs to git
