trip  to  his  uhl  holitC1  in  Vermont.  lie

He  ran  across  the  old  life-long  friend  of 
his  father's,  now  7(5  years  old,  who  made 
the  hatchway  at  the  old  farm  40  years 
ago.  lie  greeted  me  as  the  l’astoral 
Parson  and  knew  more  of  my  articles 
than  I  did  myself,  lie  asked  particular¬ 
ly  about  “that  old  tightwad  with  the 
two  thousand  dollars."  I  must  say  l 
shall  have  to  put  in  a  good  deal  more 
backbone  on  that  fellow  yet.  I  never 
turn  to  the  humane  society  except  as  a 
last  resort.  I  shall  give  him  one  more 
chance  to  loosen  up.  lie  quotes  Scrip¬

run  of  all  outdoors.  “You  better  keep

just  beginning  to  think  perhaps  I  had.  for 
they  did  not  lay  to  suit  me  though  doing 
fairly  well,  when  I  went  down  country 
for  a  service.  When  on  the  way  back  I 
stopped  in  at  a  back-to-the-landcr's.  On 
the  table  stood  two  waiter  pails — each 
over  half  full  of  eggs.  "Yesterday."  said 
the  woman,  "I  got  Go  eggs  from  110 
hens."  "Do  you  let  them  run  out  on  the 
cold  ground?"  I  asked.  "Of  course  I  do. 
They've  bein  out  all  Winter.  When  it 
snows  we  serape  off  a  place  for  them."
