to my turn to keep guard. During Ihe

come 'till more iutensitied by tlie unuc

sume a very grave apeet.
On arriving at the bank, the, door
was opened by the night watchman, itu
old pensioned soldier, who, for one
pound a week, remained In the build

satisfied.
Things were thus moving, and all co-
ing well, when a man arrived who had
engaged of tlie overseer some seed

Mr. Vood should gu to tho barn and
get it out.
"Heave ahead," said Jack, who had
been following the team around Ihe
field; "1 guess I can navigate tho plough
till you come back."
Mr, Wood didn't think there could
beany trouble He showed hi- chief
just iom to hold the plough, and how
.to keep the reins of the horse In hand,
If he kept old January stialght, the
oxen would take care of themselves.
"All rlghtl" cried Jack "Away

And Ihe factotum went away to tho
bain and gave out the wheat, anl while
conversing with Ids filendly customer

all pusnlblu sptul lo find poor dipt.
Jack clinging to the plough handles for
dear life, aud the whole team a settle

"Why, Captain, what has happen

sea, letting goof the plough and sweep-
lug his hand over his brow. "Shiver I
my timbers, If this ain't a mixed mess!"
"Rut how did It happen?''
"Why, in the first place the critters
