The owner of the melon patch &WM like
the idea, of being an eaves-dropper ; but the
conversation so immediately concerned his
melons n hich he had taken so much pains
to raise, that he kept quiet and listentrertb

he might make it somewhat bothersome for
them.

much for the melons as for the fun of getting

Now hear the owner's story.
"I made a needful pr e paration for the vis

had twin filled for some tme, from which,
to !dry weather, I was a-rystomeil to water

and placed slender boards over it, which
were slightly covered with dirt, and just

tightly homy eight inches from the ground.

I think that it was very probable that
they did, for hardly were the words utter

'there goes one of the flaps as sure as guns'
Why, get off, Ned."
And Ned nes off, and one leg of his

The next night the owner of the melon
