1t was one morning il the late winter
that Mrs. Agnew said her little say"
to her son. 1t was breakfast time, and
Betsey stood beside the stove twirling
a pancake turner over a smoking grid
die.
Zed still sat at the table, boiling
griddlccakes and listening without
appearing to hear. He sat well back
in his chair, with his feet gripDel
around the rear legs. His left elbow
rested on the table, his hand clutchng
the back of his neck firmly His fore
head was low and his chin short. The
nose turned up suddenly at the end
and drew with it the middle of his
upper lip, exposing a cavity which two
front teeth would have become. When
Zed spoke, which was seldom, his
words arrived by way of his nose and
were not intended to give satisfaction
on any subject.
The only response he made to his
mothers ultimatum was, Fork me
over few Of them cakes, will ye?'
Mrs. Agnew, paying no attention,
bent over the griddle 1T amt every

new shot q keen glance at her son

Has the molasses give out?" was
Zed's satisfying response as he glued
his eyes to the bottom Of the sirup
pitcher.
Betsey continued, knowing that her
words were not falling Oh deaf ears
"No, say. it amt every day that Il
young man gifts such a farm with a
new house on it, and"-he"e she
paused and threw a big cake Oh her
sons plate by way of emphasis-'a
deed fer the whole thing on his wed
din day"
Zed unlocked his feet and labori-
ously arose. He twisted his upper Lip
sidewise and looked over the table
There haint nOthin' more to cat in
sight" he remarked terscly. 80 I've

lie reached the barn, his eyes rowing
DyeY the rich fats which stretched
acre on acre, toward the river. These
fertile flats might be his, provided he
followed the example Of his three older
brothers and took a Willet TO wife
He kicked the barn door ymdiCtively.
rssIf one Of the others had only took
#tulk I'd be wi!lin'." he muttered.
- Later Betsey and Eliza reported to
each other.
Eliza was aEitated. "Oh, Atulliy acts
somethin' awful" she moaned. "She
says she will run away to Boston TO

also her son Zed's sentiments, but
Providence had so far turned a deaf
ear to Zed. Indeed, it seemed to de-
lived him still further into her hands
after she and Eliza Willet laid their
heads together for the fourth time.
Mrs. Willet was apprehensive as to
the successful outcome of this fourth
interfamily campaign. Mrs. Agnew
was hopeful with the hope of one who
has unlimited confidence in herself.
