This particular sort ii an arulstice

was it his tobacco?"
Everyone in the Post Office was

"Why, | supposed you were speaking

husband really did leave the stable

John was going to drive his new pair
O. grays to the village to vote. He
had the rheumatism real bad that
autumn and couldn't walk It, and
besides, he was mighty proud Of his
grays. Well, he was doing some.
thing to one of em, and he was called
out to the yard, and first thing we
knew that horse was trotting along
down the road. Poor John forgot his
rheumatism for the moment, and OH
he went after it. | went, too, and all
the children, and we brought the
horse home in triumph, all Of us
laughing at Pa for leaving the stable
door open. And when we got back
you'd never believe it-he had never
once thought to shut the door behind
: that horse, and when we got back
the other one was out and gone. John
was that mad! And time he found
the other critter his back was hurt.

village and vote. That was the very
year you were up for the Legislature

one vote-was that true? l always
was curious about it?".
