safety. Oxen were found to be much better for all farm work.
 Most of the land was rough rocky and full of stumps. so that oxen, oelng strong, patient and slow. made much the better team for agricultural pur- poses and numbering than did horses, and they were cheaper kept, needing but little grain even when at hard work and none at all when in pasture They required no expensive harness ike horses only cheap yoke and chain, and were quickly yoked.
 Under such circumstances it is net surprising that horses in New Eng land were not greatly admired or much petted. A farmer was proude4 of a yoke Of large, nfie red oxen four years old, well matched and well broken han Of span Of degenerate horses such as were common at that time fn the country. They were seldom stabled IT grooned except wfen at work every day. The colts until three years ola were wintered in the yard in order It vas supposed. to make them tough and hardy.

We're not SO intimate with the Morgan
family-at least for time. 1t might

instance, to see me, your mother can't
get up and leave the place the minute
he gets here, can she? What do you
want her to do: insult him? Or per-
haps you'd prefer she'd insult Lucy?
That would do just as well. What is

love your Aunt Amelia SO much that
you want to please herr Or do you
really hate your Aunt Fanny so much

don't"
"You do! You do! You want to-
you want to destroy the only thing
that THAT ever" And, unable to
continue, she became inaudible in her
handkerchief.
George felt remorseful, and his own
troubles were lightened: all at once it
became clear to him that he had been
worrying about nothing. He perceived
that his Aunt Amelia was indeed an
old cat, and that to give her scandal
GUS meanderings another thought
would be the height of folly. BY no
means insusceptibIe to such pathos as
that now exposed before him. he did
not lack pity for Fanny, whose almost
spoken confession was lamentable;
and he was granted the vision to un-
derstand that his mother also pitied
Fanny infinitely more than he did.
This seemed to explain everything.
He patted the unhappy lady awk-
wardly upon her shoulder. There,
there" he said. ST didn't mean any
thing. OF course the only thing to do
about Aunt Amelia is to pay no atten-
ton to her. It's all right, Aunt Fanny.
Don't cry. ! feel lot better now, my
self. Come on; I'll drive back there
with you. It's all over, and nothing's
the matter. Can't you cheer up?'
Fanny cheered up and presently the
customarily hostile aunt and nephew
were driving out ANDERSON boulevard
amiably together in the hot sunshine.
