Peter was slow to respond. " 9' 1 ' ,|jo ' l' :L iia'n' there all tluy! James shouted, "shako things up, can't you?" Peter bustled ;i bit. Then as the mare backed into position again ho shouted: "i liojHi wo don't meet any of them jolly beggars of pick-pocketa when wo go to the city, Father." "Us ma-tot then, lad," was tho answer. " There be plenty on 'em dahn there." "Right!" in a peremptory tono of voice from James. Peter performed his part, then yelled out: \ou won't catch me carrying money in any of my pockets. K a tiler!" " old John grunted hack. <. «n altel " handling another sack: . ~,i.e ro t ' loo oim 'y ' J1 then, lad?" • 01 V. 011 Lv keep half-sover-eigns, Peter said, " a/nd carry them m my mouth." "A pity you hadn't a few to carry now," James put in, as lie waited for his brother to niovo the mare. . "In yow're math, lad?" old ~ohu chuckled, "wliah, yow'd swallor 'n. i Hut Ah guess they'd be «aife enoof, ( lad." Peter began to laugh. "Right! Right there!" James called angrily. Peter paid attention to his part. James in his irritation omitted to call out "woh" at If.he critical moment. Petor's mind was intend on t ™ty pick-pockets, and to stop ■the mare 011 his own account never occurred to him. He seemed to tin uk the excursion to the city had already commencd, and that Nugget and himself were on their way to the railway station. "Worp! werp!" old John protested' excitedly, as the rolling sacktilted against his legs with somo force, and showed 110 inclination to remain 011 top of the waggon. "Mah'nd! mahn'd 1" "Woh-h! woh-hl" James, seeing "'hat must happen, caJled loudly. But it was too late. Nugget got in a stride or two too many, and hauled the sack and old John along with it right over the side of the waggon on to tho ground. "Look out! Look out!" James gasped. "Father Ml be .killed!" And running round, he dragged tho sack of corn off his parent's chest. "Are you hurt, father?" ho asked anxiously. Old John pulled himself together, and laughed. "Hurt?" he said, "not a bet, lad. ' Old John was not a pampered individual. He was a tough old saw. "Ha, ha, ha! ha! hah!" chirped I eter, when lie saw his parent dusting chaff and dirt off himself. "I couldn't make out where you were off to, father, when I saw you coming down head first." "Well, Ah could, then!" old John replied feelingly, and dusted himself some more. "And if you had l>een minding your \york," James said, condemning Pefter, "it couldn't have happened at all." "Oh, it ain't to be helped, lads!" old John said, exonerating all concerned, "ivhccide.nts 'II heppen — even in mail femily." And ho broko into another laugh. "That was what you call a dispensation of Providence, eh, father?" put in Peter. "Ah-h," and old Jolm started to climb into the waggon a train. "A rlcspensation o' John Dashwood, Ah thenks," he added as he readied tho top. "Tf sommne dispensed with him," meaning Peter.. "T think we'd geit on a lot better," James remarked cynical lv, as ho took his plate at the slide again. James's valuation of Peter as a, farm hand wos not a high one. "Poll 'n up aesain, lads," tho parent commanded cheerfully, "Ahhlvt four more an' we'll have a. load." rolled up a fain. All d.ay long Ricks of corn rolled on to the waggon, and when evening came the rrrpater rxirt of the hundred was safely housed in the barn. (Next instalment will a.npea.r on Wednesday.)
