The buggy, the best double-seated team in Long Cove, was polished and washed until it shone again, While the horse did credit to Frank’s pre~breakfast grooming and curry-combing: Before: ,he swung around the Anchorville road, ‘iw’hich led up over the mountain, he gpulled up the horse and gazed over ithe vista of village and Bay. ' “Waal,” he murmured with satis- faction, “VI ca‘l’l‘ate Lily an’ the ol’ Cap’en will like th’ place. It’s lookin' pretty nice now. Giddap, JeSs! Twelve Imiles t’ go an’ little time fi‘do‘it in."

Cap’en, you won't mind sittin’ in th’ back Seat? Lil and I will drive in front. All aboard! Giddap, Jess!” And with :as much skill in driving a horse as he lhad in driving a schooner, Frank tswept down the station road with the dust flying in their wake. “011, Frank, but isn’t it just a glor- ‘ious day?” exclaimed Miss Bentonâ€"- her sun~browned cheeks glowing with excitement and pleasure. “And what a fine horse you haveâ€"â€"â€"â€"” v ‘ “Take th’ reins an’ drive, Li’l,” sug- gested Frank, handing them over. ‘ “Naow you jes-t be careful with that :‘there animal,” cautioned the old skip- ,‘per, “an’ see’n don’t capsize us into a ditch.

A parallel to this request lies in an] unhappy experience of an editor who one morning received two letters from subscribers. The first, an anxious father, wrote to find out the best way to bring up his twin babies in health and happiness, while the other, a farm- er, wanted to know the quickest meth- od of getting rid of grasshoppers. The editor hesitated; then, out of the fullness of his knowledge, _he wrote two letters in reply. But in the haste of business he put the letters in- to the wrong envelopes.
