would run out of bottles We would see
him scooting for home lickety-split for
bottle to breathe into. and as red in
the face from holding his breath as
a snow-arple, but it worked out all
right
Once he got his breath into bottle
he was mighty careful of that bottle,
and he didn't leave any bottles around
where they might get damaged He
carried them all up to his attic and
stood them in rows. and it got to be
familiar sight to see Uncle Ashdod
going around with a preserve bottle
pressed against the front OF his face.
The way he hustled to get the lid on
those bottles after his breath was in
them was an example to lazy folks.
He got so he could make the coupling
in one-tenth of a second by the watch.
And every night the last thing ne did
was to go up to the attic and tighten
up all the lids and listen to see if any
of them were leaking.
The third day-he broke a bottle, and
that was the only worry he really had
For all he knew that was the bottle
that had his last breath in it, but he
couldn't be sure until the month was
up, for he was scheduled to die at nc
particular time during the month, and
it might be the very last day
Along during the last week he had
a bad fright We saw he was running
short of bottles, and that they would
Mt last out at the rate he was using
them. so he began to take shorter

his eyes Topped out on his cheeks and
the Precipitation stood on the end OF
his nose and his face was dark pur
pie, and he took such short breaths
that he was able TO get two in bot
tie, but even that was nc use. He
did run out Of bottles.
Then he spent all his time in the
attic for he knew he had only half
filed some of the earlier bottles, and
he breathed short last-breaths into
those. so they were perfectly rdil
Sometimes there was so little room in
a bottle that he had to divide breath
and put half into each of two partly
filled bottles.
The last day came at length, and
Uncle Ashdod spent it in the attic
with breath-bottles all around him.
but the street before his house was
crowded with all the elite and chiv
airy of Betzville, waiting to see if the
bottle Uncle Ashdod had broken was
the one with his last breath in it. The
general opinion was that it was. and
nearly every one had made bets that
way, so we were hopeful that when
the time was up. at noon. we would
hear dull thud in the attic. But we
didn't At exactly 1891 Uncle Ashdod
came to the attic window and stuck
his head out and breathed one lone
breath that last six minutes. There
were few cheers from those that had
won their bets. but most of US turned
away disguised.
Unclel Ashdod has one preserve bot
tie on his what-not that he claims has
his genuine last breath in it. and he

We don't take any stock in it. We
may be mistaken, but according to our
notion Uncle Ashdod hasn't drawn his
last breath yet.
