body was at home to work.
John said he would drive up on Maple
Hill about sunset where we could look
away OFF to Hlldale, and may be We
could see the fireworks. Any way We
could hear the cannon roar. SO when
got back home after dinner, | thought L d
just sit down and keep still, and see if my
head wouldn't stop aching. John had
kept house while | was gone, and
things were a little out of order, of course;
but it seemed as though | couldn' go to
work IN the heat, a-d Emma had put up
some cold chicken and biscuits and cake
for my lunch on the way, she said; but
there it was in my basket now enough
! for Johns supper, and | could drink milk
OF do almost any way to avoid making up
a fire.
50 | got Billy to sleep and laid him in
the cradle, aud then cu1led up in the
! rocking chair with a book, and was al
most asleep myself when a queer little
swishing and whispering noise aroused
me | thought the bees were swarming,
aud | rushed to the open door, when such
a sight met my eyes, There was a crowd
OF eight women, mostly one behind the
other. l was perfectly surprised, for not
one OF them had called on me before. nor
invited me to her house; but | smiled and
smiled, and invited them in, and they all
came in and sat down, and ''took off their
things and then | knew they We're 60
ing to stay to tea, and what to do | didn'
! know | had told them about beng gone
