There was no competition for the farm; and
the Squire, having bid fifty dollars above the
mortgage got the property. He was grave and
silent as we drove away; and 1t was not until

anyone to fish there out of season, and he won't

He invites me over once in awhile, and we are
pretty sure of good sport. This man is study,
