Then said the little girl that
mother used to be:
"Do you remember the time the
preacher was dining with the
family, and just before dinner
was announced you slipped a
piece of fried chicken from the
tablet"
Yes, mother remembered that.
1t did not seem so terribly dis
honest, either. Whatever be-

belonged a little bit to each
child; so 1t was not so very bad
to take that piece Of fried chicken

Of dark.colored vegetable mold,
which enriches the soil and stores

this layer of mold, the binding
Of the soil by the roots Of the

Joslyn's eyes flashed, but De
