With September came a supreme
event In the lives OF Chip and Ray,
when Mr.. and Mrs. Frisbie. Aunt Com
fort, Miss Phinney and Hannah. Uncle
Jud and Aunt Mandy. and Old Cy, all
gathered In Aunt Abby's QUAINT par
Tor TO see her aged pastor Join their
hands and lives. Then came the kisses,
the congratulations, the rice. and old.
shoe throwing. and then solitude and
tears for Aunt Abby. All the wedding
guests except Old Cy hied themselves
away with the new pair, and he left
for Bayport.
And thus closes the history OF Chip

slave Of Tins Place.

Two days later Old cy returned.
No one was In the house when he
knocked at Aunt Abby's door, and
then. led perhaps by the invisible
chord that apanned 40 years, he slowly
strolled up the path beside the old
