clothes was sleeping in with the other bedding, and l found myself free of feas as well as bugs and got a good nights sleep after all. Now the mosquitoes have come and the red bugs are coming.
 Yes, l Am Moued Again.
 When 1 got up to Wye one of the first things I learned was that the place 1 had been living in was sold and that I would have to get out at once. We'll, 1 put in the time 1 had to stay there packing up my precious rocks and other things and then left for my homestead to find someone to move me if I could. I asked Charlie Walderns if he knew of any one, who could move me, he said: 'Yes, I have as good a team as any man and will move you or have my man to" 1 made a deal with him at once and started back with his man. Tom mic Atkins. Tommie moved one load while l remained at Wye to get the other load ready. He left the first load at Walderns and came back ear ly the next morning for another. We soon loaded 1t and was to Martindale a little after noon. The road we had to move over was the worst I ever was over with a load and the team and driver were the best 1 ever rode with. In fact. Tommie and the team were so very good that I am sure the Wan dering Fairy made the selection for me. She having got acquainted with him, he need not be surprised if as reward she does not find him a good wife. Of course you all know how she selected one for me, and had the sun to paint her picture in an abalone shell, which she had mounted in a silver ring and sent to me with in stTuctions what to do, but how could bashful fellow like me tell a pretty girl what Wanda told me to tell her? We'll, 1 did show her her picture in the ring, but she said she did not know whose picture 1t was. We'll. if she can't recognize her own picture what am 1 to do? Besides I would like to get my house completed first anyway.
 After having lived at Wye for over three years and got acquainted with everybody and loving the old noun tain ii made me sad to leave for good. and the rough road made me sadder and as the horses had to pull heavy load over new untraveled road up to my homestead on top of a noun tain without our dinners I got sad der until came through the thicket of young pine in front of my house. when all at once the view of every one of my four big punches of roses burst into full view and were also in full bloom. The fresh beauty of them all could not help but revive my spir- Its and then the sweet fragrance of their flowers. No other roses ever smelt so sweet. I don't know why they smell so sweet, 1t may be because l have fertilized them we'll with cof- fee grounds, or 1t may be just be- cause they are mine and the Wan dering Fairy has sweetened them, but anyway they are sweet.
 Of course the very first thing had to do when got back home was to take look at my garden. Ninety per cent of the sweet peas 1 planted just the day before I left were up and nearly every one of the English peas were up, My Irish potatoes were looking so nice that I just had to hoe part of row of them. Practically everyone was up as far as I hood. It really IS a surprise to me that my garden is doing so we'll and I really must hurry and plant some more stuff. If it was not that Wanda is watching it 1 am sure the stock would have had it all destroyed for l only have brush fence around it. Two Welcome Visitors of Opposite
 Characters.
 When l got in from Little Rock on my last trip mouse had built its nest between my best comfort and pill low. What was worse it had used a portion of the pillow slip and com fort to build its nest out of. You may know l was mad and swore would buy me some mouse traps and catch those mice. How different they are from Rube Woodmouse and his folks. never knew them to do me a dirty trick like that, but those mice were of bad family. I got Mir. Bone to bring me over a load of stuff. but as 1t commenced to rain when we got to his house we stored 1t in his
