busy cleenin up around the place,
and stratenin up some Of the chick
en- ceops and lenses which has got
out of geer a little in the past few
months while l have been tendin
to the strawberrys. 1t beets sin how
much l have alters got on my miLh
to do, and when haint Marthy can
alters think of something. Size has
been naggin at me all day that

that will be eggs for about two
weeks and a half yet. If Lots wife
had of been of Marthy's turn OF
r,ind she might of been Twin today,
hut no, she looked backwards where
as Marthy is forever castin her eyes
into the dim and distent futur. If
she ever looks back it is when she
lis remindin re that l used to be
more attentive and jellous Of her he
fore we was marryed than l am now.
She sayed the other day that her
long continude fathfIllness had bred
a false sense Of security In my mind
and hart. She red that somewheres

her to be over thirty-five yeers old
and that one of them switches would
take ten yeers off any womans age

in your paper and | heered what
he sayed. At them words, | spoke
up and says l, Don't get more thar
couple, Marthy, or you'll be in
