your hair cut
ayes, yes, I've had my hair cut, I've
had my hair cut repeated the Judge
several times IN shrill voice, as he
broke away again and started toward
the rear of the house.
'ln the kitchen his way was blocked
again by Old Mollie, who stared like
she saw ghost, but she hung on to
him until she was able to say: Good
Lawd, Marse Jedge, yuse done had yo'
ha-ar cut
"But by this time the Judge was
speechless, so with few frantic ges-
lures and inarticulate barking sounds,
he tore away and started for the barn.
He no doubt thought he would be alone
there and have chance to regain his
cOmpOsure.
"But, alas! his Nemesis was there also
and was only waiting to give him the
finishing stroke.
"a few minutes before the Judge
started for the barn an old Leghorn hen
had just successfully completed the
ever gratifying performance of laying
an egg in the marger. 1t was the
psychological moment when the Judge
opened the barn door.
"Just as the Judge stepped inside of
the barn door with his reason tottering
on its throne, the old hen flew upon the
edge of the manger and at the same
time her enthusiastic clamor was reso-
nant throughout the building: 'Cut-cut,
cut-cut, k-a ha-ar cut
"And then"
But at this junctuTe the band started
to play and the reminiscent was lost in
symphony.
