She told him briefly.
"Why, really! ] am not sure but this per-

Next day the cart went back 10 the shop

hitched the calves to a heavy stone boat
and made them drag it for three miles along
the country roads. When they got home
they were tired, but they had learned to
throw their weight into yoke and pull
load without getting excited about 1t. They
had also learned that when they got leg
over the rope by which they drew their
load, 1t was more comfortable to lift that
leg back again than to go pulling with
the rope saving against the skin. A few
more lessons OF this kind, and 1 felt that
they were ready for another trial in the

Every little while New York talks grandly

ment will never let II go. Governors Is
land Is, indeed, utterly useless as a place
of defense against foes from without But
what New York does not think of the fed
eral government does-that some day It may
be necessary TO stretch out an iron hand
and grip New York itself.
The United States has Il long memory. II
has not forgotten the draft riots and never
will.
So right under the eyes of New York the
United States today Is filling in enough OF
the harhor to make the island more than
twice as large as 1t is. And New York vain

ernor's Island with pity as an "anachron-
ism, and never even wonders why the
anachronism is being enlarged
