some OF them were heaps OF corn and

"and get to plowing. All the folks are
coming by here. aud we ought TO be Mt

They rau out and began harnessng
the horses TO the pIow. the stranger

Hold on there. boys. Unhitch those

II was the storekeeper, with n grin
on his face.
''Aii you have to do today" lie went
| ON, "is to boss. Well do the work.
Now. say. where do you want your
forty acres plowed?"
Joe. i,ewii,icred. looked around upon
the gathering teams aud pointed to \
tract around which the boys had made
several struggling burrows.
"AlI right, Now. fellows. hurry up"
shouted the storekeeper
There was great rattling OF chains
and much laughter as team after team
went with It's plow to the corner Of the
field. presently TO send a long choco-
late ribbon OF sod rolling after as 1t
took It's way around the great square
piece OF prpIrIe.
"Twenty-four of them,' said Mrs.
MangOId, counting with extended IN
ger. her worn face lighting up with
pleasure. The strange visitation and
the pile OF provisions that had been
overwhelmed her.
Following the plOws were harrows.
and the land rapidly took on the ap-
pearance Of a field long titled. The sun
was halfway across the sky when all
stopped at a signal from the store
keeper.
Boys" he said when the men had
gathered round, NOW let's eat dinner.
and then we'll finish. But while were
nnishIng how would.it do for some one
to go to the village aud bring out

Thatll make 1t all sure. BY that time

auired plowing Is done. you See"
The proposition was received With n
shout OF approval.

had been completely converted to the
Nangoldy' side.
A. he had the fastest pony in the
neighborhood he. was allowed to take

Just before the sun reached the hOri-
ION the square Of prairie sod had been
biotted out.

heId a large ofR'cial envelope In his

''If the Mangoiis expect to hold gov

Correct. Too bad the old man puts
It all on those two boys"
ButtOning up their heavy coats. the
settlers mounted their ponies and rode
homeward together
There's the two boys now remark
ed Squire Giilett when they had ridden
two miles or more across the brown
prairie. Looking OF to the west. they
saw two small boys mounted on large,
rawboned work horses. their outlines
distinct against the sunset sky.
The two boys were jogging along
slowly and In silence. Their slender
forms seemed oddly In contrast with
the size Of the horses they were riding.
Heavy clouds were coming up In great
1black masses from the northeast.
I'VE must hurry. Joe," said one Of
the boys. "or we'll get wet"
II suppose 30. for our coats aren't

The horses had started into = galiop.

their seats. Over the swells. down the
grassy slopes they went and then. with
. still faster pace. whirled down an
other declivity and crashed through
the dead sunnower stalks and tumble
