 "Yes. yes; know Old Job drew a deep, long breath. But the horses and cattle were outside, needing more water; and whatever else Cld Job might be, he loved his dumb animals. and would do for them what he would not dream of doing for himself. The windmill would be a humbug, for there was no water in the land to feed it; but 1t seemed the only thing at hand.
 "Yes. something's got to be did" he repeated "so yen let the man put in his windmill. It'll be good for the birds to build nests on, if nothin more.
