bad attack etdlarrLcua for come days be,
fore ; se I steed my dinner kettle down and
laid my coat ci the perch and went dbwn
the yard bob ind a beard plle and tben
came up and a.oed en the perch with Mr,
Wldmyer, who was standing en the perch
when tbe plasterer and X came out te work.
I atoed around there awhile and then went
ever Inte the west beuBe and cleaned tbe
ashes out of three stoves, and cut weed and
gathered up shavings. I tbea made fire and
while I was working around the stoves
Greff came in and was talking te me. X
went down Inte the cellar and fetched up
two nail keg full et coal and put the coal
en the Ore sad tben went ever te tbe east
house and cleaned out one stove and cut
weed and fixed that fire and then latched
up a keg of coal.- Then I went ever te the
west house and looked at the fire and put
mere coal en.
I took the shovel and digging Iren and
went down tbe yard and piled up some
beards. Alter I bad that done I went ever
te the stable te dig a pest hole and set a
heavy poet en tbe line of the stable te nang
a large gate, through which they oenld
drive,- Gren had told me en Saturday
where X should put the pest. He marked
It with a atlck. X didn't get It done en Sat
urday, ae I went en Monday morning te
dig the bete and let tbe pest Aa near as I
can tell, that was nearly 9 o'clock. I leund
it tee muddy te dig and I took the abevel
and the digging Iren and atoed them In the
northwest corner of the stable. X tried te
abut the deer, but It would net oleee. I
tried several times, but did net succeed. Xt
would shut en top but catch below. I
opened tbe deer again and Inside the deer
was a beard pile and en that there waa a
tool box. In the tool box there was lying
a loose plane bit. X took this plane bit te
cut some of tbe deer off ae that I might
ahut It
Just about that time Qrctr, Kautz and
Mr. Wehlaen's driver started te ceme down
te the atable with a lead of meulding.
When they came down the yard I was
standing outside or the stable with the
plane bit In my band. When they reached
tbe stable Or off asked me what I was going
te da I told him that tbe deer needed te
be planed oil. He told me te leave It till
some ether time; X aald, "all right" X
put the plane bit In tbe box and
pushed the deer open se that Mr.
Wehlsen's driver could drive clese up
te the deer. He was standing up straight
In tbe wegen and drove In the field. The
ends of the moo Id In g were atteklng out
behind the wagon abent fenr or llve feet.
He drove far enough Inte the field ae that
the ends of the meulding were abent past
the centre of ihe deer, se that we could
Just take tbe meulding and walk right Inte
the atable with it easily. I belped te un
load all that he had en. the wagon, Grefl
and the drlver also helping.
GretT was doing something in the stable
be was pushing the paint pets around.
The horse had bla head down eating grass,
and kept moving away furtber from the
atable. Tbe lines were hanging down en
the ground and X went and picked them
up. When he came out of tbe atable he
said te me, "Jehn, turn him around off
that grass." I did ae and as I was turning
blm around GretT came out or the stable.
There was some meulding still in the
wsgen. After tbe wagon was unleaded
tbe driver drove away and X steed
myself against tbe corner of the
deer trame and was looking at Grefl
moving aeme beards. Grefl said, "Jehn
you go up te the house and clean the dirt
np, se tbey can put tbe casing en." 1 said,
"all right"
There were some snort beards standing
in the north west corner of the stable. I
said te G r off, let me have two of these short
beard a. X wanted them for a deer for a
chicken coop. He did net say that X might
have tbem, but said te me, "Jehn, you go
up and commence te clean ent tbe dirt
awhile." X said, "all right." I took tbe
cbevel and the digging Iren and went up
te the beuse and then 1 went ever te the
west house and get an empty nail keg and
eame eyer te the east beuse aud went up
stairs and Bwept tbe dirt together, and I
took the nail keg full down into tbe yard
and emptied It. X went up stairs again
and then Urcff came up and swept the
dirt en my abevel and X put the dirt Inte
the keg and carried It down In the yard.
Wben that Jeb was done GretT said te
mb, "we will go down In tbe yard." He
and I went down and wben we get outside
GretI asked me If X knew where he oeuld
borrow a wheelbarrow, I told him he
might get one at Slalk's. He told me be
didn't like te ask them and told me te go
ever te tbe next heuse and get my hatchet.
X asked him where It was and he told me.
X went and get it for him and then went
ever into the east heuse and went up stairs
In tbe garret and get my batehet and otcss etcss
cut saw out et my tool box, X came ever
and went outside, Groft said, "Jehn, you
and me will go down and put the reef en
tbe wsgen shed." Se be and X atarted
down tbe yard aud when we get down te
tbe shed he changed bis mind and said te
me, "we will go and nail beards ou tbe
fence." 1 laid my hatchet and my saw en
tbe beard pile, and then be and I com
menced te carry beards ever te the fence
and steed them up against tbe rails. Wben
we bad enough beards carried ever te the
fence, Greff said te me, "Jehn, you com
mence te work up near the pike and I will
work here near the atable," I took my
hatchet and my saw oil et the beard pile
and went up and started In. As X did tbat
I cut into some nails and broke two pleees
out of my hatchet. Tben X called down te
Grell and asked htm if he had a eild chisel
He said "he had net." He asked me for
what X wanted It I told blm that I could
net cut tbe block out of tbe pest, atf tbe
pest waa full of nails, and I also told blm
tbat I breke two pieces out of my hatchet
Tben be mid he would oemo up and cut It
out with his old hatchet Se he came up
and oemmonoed te cut at tbe pest
and while be was working tbe
milkman came driving In oil of
the pike past Grell and I, and drove
down In his yard, down almost te bis
stable. He then turned round and drove
up te his beuse and stepped. He get out of
bis wagon and went Inte bis beuse, and tbe
ether man that he bad along with him staid
In the wagon.
Grcfl waa still working round that pest
And X aald Ui Greff, "while you are work
ing here I must gn te tbe water closet." I
also said te blm, "X wonder If tbemilkman
would say anything If 1 would go In bis
water closet" GretT Bald te me, " Don't
go In there ; be won't like It." I said, "all
right, I won't go In."
X went down the yard and went In tbe
Held behind a pale fence ; 1 took my Jacket
off and also my vest and bung it en tbe
fence. In a tow moments I took my vest
and Jicket and put It en, and tben, as I
turned myself round te go where 1 was
working, 1 saw this body lying up about
two hundred or two hundred and fifty feet
from where 1 war. I walked up and, be
fore 1 get te wbore the body was lying, X
passed the hat It was lying about twenty
five feet west et the body, and he waa lying
en bla face ; bis Jacket was lying ever his
bead. I walked around en tbe north aide
el blm and get held of him and turned him
en hla Hide. 1 oeuld net recognize blm, and
X turned him round en hU back and looked
at blm In tbe face. Tben X saw tbat It was
my father. Tben I looked around for bis
cane, l saw a stick lying between Squire
Icman'a let and Clark's let X walked
ever te see If tbat was his cane, and when I
get there 1 aaw it was a part of a boy 'a
sbluny. I turned around and went back
te where my fathei'a body waa lying and
get bold of bis band and turned him en bis
aide se tbat 1 could put his jacket down efl

X was Just about turning blm around wben
Gret! called down te me and aeked me what
X was looking at. I told him that here laid
a man. He asked me if knew the man. X
said te him, " It leeks like my pap." Then
he oressed ever en tbe milkman's yard and
aa he get at the milkman's kitchen, the
milkman came out et hla deer and both et
tbem eame down together. Grefl walked
right up te my father's head with hla hands
behind blm and tben aald te me, Jehn,

that he aaw me have held of htm and drag
ging him. I said te Greff that all I did was
te turn htm around and pull hla Jaeket
down off his face, sol oeuld see who he

standing there, and X aald te both of them :
" I didn't drag him ; all I done waa turned

We started up toward the heuse and
when we get np te where I waa working, I

should put It and my aaw away. He
aid, "all right" While standing
alongside the perch be aald me,
"I wonder If old Witch didn't de thai?"
I said te Greff, "Well, the person that done
It surely must have done something with
hlscane, because my old man oeuld net
have came there without hla cane." He
aid tbat he believed that It was old Witch
and said te me, "Why leek hew he carried

might have been some one from ever at the
peer house. X told him tbat X had met htm
when X went down te tbe bridge. Then
he walked ever te the heuse where tbe
plasterers were working and ealled in, say
"down here lays a man in the field." The
boss plasterer came out of tbe house first
and aald, "Who Is the man, de you knew?"
Greff said It " tebn's eld man. The boss
plasterer said te me, "Is It ?" I Bald "Yes."
He, Grefl and myself started te go down

plasterer, Kautz and Wldmyer came out of
the house and went along down In the field.
When we get down the boss plaaterer get
