wagon. Theie was not much market
for pumpkins. but he managed to sell
about 100 at . cents each, or u total Of
So worth. And still he had more
pumpkins than hr knew what to do
with. He knew. however. thai what
the family did not use would be fine
feed for the hogs and cows when the
cold weather Of winter came on. So
he carefully stored them away.
With the black eyed pea crop 1t was
the same. sam thought that be had
never seen so many peas in all his life
He sold 500 worth, gathered what
would be needed at home. and then.
the vines still full, he turned in the
hogs and COWS for a weeks feast.
According to agreement. Bill Googe
came owe when the stock had cleared
out most OF the pea crop and set to
work with a large plOw turning under
vines, stalks and all. The cotton stalks
were large. and a great many Of them.
as well as some c~Ornstalks, were left
above ground. But when Sam sowed
the ground with winter oats and rye
and had GOoge follow him with a disk
it cut the stalks to pieces and left the
soil smooth and unbroken.
Soon after they finished sowing a
gentle rain began falling, lasting for a
day. II sank into the soft soil and
seemed to touch the planted grain with
magic. In a very short time the field
from end to end was one long carpet
Of green.
The year was growing old. and the
great bulk of the work was done. Sam
now had more leisure than he had had
at any time during the year. OF morn
ings there was sometimes a hint Of
frost in the air. but the days were yet
hot and sultry. Sans friends, Fred
Martin. Joe Watson and Andrew
White. had visited him several times
that summe in addition to the days
that they had worked But he had
something that he thought would make
a pleasant surprise for the boys. so be
invited his neighbor, Bob Pagan. and
those three from town to visit him on
Saturday. Sans surprise was some
large watermelons. the last of the sea-
son. that be had covered up with grass
and kept fresh and sound The melon
crop had been gone for a long time.
and this would be a treat worth Civ
ing on what would probably be their
last visit this year. Even Bob Fagan
would be as much surprised as any. for
they never grew melons on the Pagan
farm and knew nothing about keeping
them until cold weather.
The boys came. and the day proved
10 be suitable for the occasion. 1t was
a hot. sultry day and seemed to belong
more to midsummer than to autumn
First the melons were carried to the
creek near the swimming hole and
dumped I'm a clear pool to loaf round
and round and cool. Then the boys
were off on "A hunt for wild grapes and
pecans. They found both. Winter
grapes and fox grapes they found
hanging in thick. purple clusters from
vines that ran along branches and
from tree to tree. To get them the
boys generally had to do a lot of
climbing. but they liked this. though
they had to be careful about getting
too far out on weak limbs.
The pecans' huils were popping oper
and dropping their fruit to the ground
so they had little to DO except to pick

the sparkling water. In a short time
they were there. and, carrying melons
to q grassy place in the shade OF some
trees. they cut them in halves and ex-
posed the juicy red hearts. In a iiny

was eating 1t between grunts Of salts

They lay IN the shade and talked a
long time after they had disposed Of
the watermelOns. one or two slept
n Sam and the others amused them
selves by throwing rocks at the trunk
Of a tree. Suddenly some one said
Let's 60 swimming. I'm going to be
first in! Then the race began Every
boy was up In a second. peeling Of his
clothes faster 'han he had ever done
before in his life.

was hard to tell which was first. They
gave a whoop and. running to the
bank. sprang into the air. They came
down head first, for the water was
deep. and there was no danger Of
striking anything. Chug, chug, chug.
they went, u after the other. The
water was as warm as on an August
day, and the boys had fine sport. They
dived after pebbles, had contests Of
swimming under water. floating, tread
ing or swimming on their backs.
Somehow that afternoon seemed too
short to the boys. They had been
swimming a long time when Joe Wat
son spoke up suddenly.

Immediately set about doing the even

Nevertheless when he had finished the
chores and gone indoors he found a
letter that added TO his feelings Of
pleasure. The letter was from Mr.
Burns. the agricultural agent, request
ing him to be present the following

The following Saturday morning Sam
