she wanted to git out, but Morrison says
no, sir, there was the milkin' n chores
to home waitin', n il she once got up
here a-talkin' land knows when he'd ever
git her started again. He's the bossi-
est man, considerin' that he don't know
enough to chew gum IN amt no ac-
count noways; but little men generally
he that way. il you've noticed. They've
been down to Orodelphy, N she stopped
10 bring you-now think of il, want
amin to tell you what size brought You
till I'd seen the doctor about il. But
that's jest like electromagnetic things
away. It's jest natche!ly n wonder
kin keep my yittles down, I've jest so
everlastinly got my mouth open. My
husband used TO say"
"Is il grapes?" demanded Neil, eager
ly. looking over the rim of the bowl.
LAND, no; nawthin' half so good, in
my opinion, though perhaps you, bein'
from the east, won't look AT it that
way. It's oysters fresh from Denver;
that's what it is"
"Oysters fresh from Denver" And
Neil laughed, no less for the incongru-
ity of the statement than for delight in
the promised treat. And when can /
have some?"
We'll, you mustn't, you know, till the
doctor Tays % the good - nan urged,
deprecatingly. Goodness knows IL
you was 10 go eatin' the half that folks
send in to you, you'd be a dead man

And oysters--well, 1 don't care il there
is an r in the month-they don't look to
me none too wholesome no time. OF
course Mis- Morrison meant to be kind,
though. She is the best-hearted soul,
always wantin' to be doin' for some
body. ~ that reminds me-she was
tellin' me she'd had a letter from that
Meredith girl that was here, thankin'
her for what she'd done at the time of

pected il, the way that girl behaved
when her pa was lyin' dead. 1t did
seem as if she hadn't nc proper sense
Of manners at all, shettin' herself up i'm
her room N cefusin' to see anybody ex-
ccpt the doctor N her lawyer, refusin'
to wear the mournin' we'd borrowed
for her 10 wear till she got to 0rodelphy
r git some made, n goin' off when she
went in old Injy silk-it jest looked
scandlous to me, don't care il twas
black. M then the way she wouldn't
even say thank you for them flowers
you sent her when you rode TO 0ro-
delphy by night to get 'em for her, n
when you was plum wore out workin'
in the Grubstrke all day to save her pa
m she ordered them flowers carried
right out of her sight. Everybody was

"0h!" groaned poor Neil. my head

had come upstairs" he went on, more
peevishly, after a moment.
well, she wanted TO, g / was sayin',
but her man wouldn't hear to IL. She'd

pocket TO show you, too, thinkin' you
might be interested; said she'd let me

"Oh. nothing. ! am restless; that's

"Well, IL you say so," the woman
doubtfully returned, taking up the
