To 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 a warm, hay
Indian-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-stalned,
frame building, hard by the main
road, with a marrow hanging stair on
the side Of II.
"Sha keeps watch by the winder
when she amt travelin'," said Uncle
Peabody. KNOWS all that's gOin'

the village an how long they stay.
When Grimsnaw goes by they say she
hustleS of down the road in her rags.
She looks like sick dog herself, but
I'VE heard that she keeps that room
O. hers Just as neat as a PIN
Near the village We passed smart
looking buggy, drawn by spry-foot-
ed horse in shiny harness. Then ]
noticed with 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 l
was in an humble state Of mind when
We entered the village
There was a crowd Of men and
women In front of Mr.. Wrlght's office
and through its open door | saw many
of his fellow townsmen, We waited at
the door for a few minutes. l crowded

your uncle?"

Mr.. Wright was stOuter and grayer
and grander than when l had seen
him Last. He was dressed in black
broadcloth an wore big beaver hat
and higl collar and his hair was al
most white. l remember wildly his
clear, kindly, gray eyes and rudy
cheeks.
"Baynes. I'm glad to see you" he
said heartily. Ibid We bring me any

The Senator took us into his office
and introduced US to the leading men
Of the county.

his hand on my head, sis a coming

The great men laughed at my
