CHAPTER V-Continued.

10 Aunt Deel wagon grease was
the worst enemy Of happy and re-
spectacle home.
We hitched our team to the grass
hopper spring wagon and set out on
our journey. 1t was warm, hazy
IDdian-summer day in November. AS
we passed "the mill" we saw the 81
lent Woman looking out of the little
window of her room above the black
smith shOp-a low. weather-stained,
frame building, hard by the main
road, with a narrow hanging stair on
the side of 1t.
"She keeps watch by the winder
when she amt travelin'," said Uncle
Peabody. KNOWS all that's goin'
on-that womar-knows who goes to
the village an how long they stay.
When Grimsnaw goes by they say she
kustles off down the road in her rags.
She looks like a sick dog herself, but
I've heard that she keeps that room
o. hers Just as neat as PIN"
Near the village we passed smart
looking buggy, drawn by spry-foot-
ed horse in shiny harness. Then I
noticed with a pang that our wagon
was covered with dry mud and that
our horses were rather bony and our
harness a kind Of lead color. So /
was in an humble state Of mind when
we entered the village.
There was crowd Of men and
women In front Of Mr.. Wright's office
and through its open door saw many
Of his fellow townsmen. We waited at
the door for few minutes. crowded
in while Uncle Peabody stood talk
ing to villager. The Senator caught
sight of me and came to my side and
put his hand on my head and said:
''HellO, Bart How you've grown
and how handsome you look! Where's
your uncle?"
Hes there by the door," I an
swered.
swell, les go and see him."
Mr.. Wright was stouter and grayer
and grander than when I had seen
him last. He was dressed in black
broadcloth AM wore big beaver hat
and high collar and his hair was al
most white. l remember wildly his
clear, kindly, gray eyes and ruddy
cheeks.
'Baynes, I'm glad to see you," he
said heartily. "Did We bring me any
jerked meat?"
"Didn't think of It," said Uncle
Peabody. 'But I've got a nice young
doe all jerked an if you're fond O.
jerk I'll bring We down some to-mor-
rer."
"Td like to take some to Washing
ton, but I wouldn't have you bring
1t so far"
"Td like to bring it want a
chance to talk with We for half an
hour or such a matter" said my I'M
Gle. "Ive got q little trouble on my
hands"
The Senator took us intN his Office
and introduced us to the leading men
of the county.
Here" said che Senator as he put
his hand on my head, "is coming

The great men laughed at my
blushes and we came away with
deep sense Of pride in us. At last
felt equal to the ordeal Of meeting
the Dunkelbergs. My uncle must have
shared my feeling, for, to my delight,
he went straight to the basement
