softly.
Take her out an kiss her, then, an
be done w.t." said Sally, more expe-
rienced In wooing. But do ye mind
ye bain't sucked In"
''What dye mane" asked Bob.
''They say as fish hawkers cry stink
In fish the loudest," answered Sally
sententiously, IAN bar brother wholly

"D'ye think soo?" muttered Bob,
alarmed at unconsidered possibilities.
'But har eyes maak ye jump, they be
BE bright. She's the prattiest gal We
ever see I'll maak ye bet ont" he
added by way Of self consolation.
II spooz," he said after pause-'T

got moo mother to dew 1t, wuss luck"
It may be incidentally remarked that
Bob was o years Of age and, with his
brothers, was always lamenting the
want Of a mother. That lady during
her life left the charge Of her young
children altogether to Sally and neg
lected them and her home equally.
''Yew may take your oath O. that"
answered Sally firmly in reply to Bob's
hint. IF We got sucked in, ye'd lay 1t
all on me. Ye must hoe your own land.
Ye'd better tell her brother yell meet
her O. Sunday"
''D'ye think soo?' said Bob and sub
sequently acted on her advice.
When Bob had finished the milking
on Sunday morning and arranged for
an evening substitute, he grew into a
fever of unrest. Sally" he called,
"wheers my clane shut? Wheer's my
collar? VIII We black my bewts for
me? I'll gle We tuppence. Come an tie
my tie. Shall q weer flower? Dye
think she'll like to goo to chapel? How
dew look in my new clothesY
At last Sally got him of and turned
her attention to the midday meal.
She sat up for his return at night.
He came in about 10 and found his sis
ter alone. The others had gone to bed.
His face wore an expression Of mingled
indignation and shame.
"Well, how did We get onr asked
Sally. "Hev We had your tea?"
81 doan't want moo tea" said Bob.
Les goo to bed"
"Good night. them" said Sally, know
ing there was more to come, but max
ing pretense of turning out the lamp.
"Blaame it!'' struck in Bob hoarsely.
''She an har brother met me. at Chef
bridge just as the Swan Tuz oopenin.
She said she wuz dry. 500 axed her III

For Bob is VIGOROUSLY parsimonious.
"D'ye thing 5000" he said uneasily.
"Arter that" he continued, eve set I'M

And Bob went up to bed grumbling
ant cursing. while his sister laughed
silently down stairs.
Bob Is still bachelor, but he has an
