Down the road came a democrat. In the front seat sat Mr. and Mrs. Wopp resplendent in Sunday attire and both wearing bouquets of bright nasturtiums. Behind them sat Moses and Betty also dressed in their best. Moses was cogitating, “Its a blessin’ Betty’s eyebrows hev growed out. She cut an orful figger without them.” Keeping pace with the democrat; but roving here and there in search of gophers ran Jethro enjoying himself mightily. “Come here Betty, till I clean yer face. Where is that boy Moses? I know he had a hand in this.

But when, on his way home, he came to the branching of the road his good resolution weakened. He looked back. The sun was surely more than an hour high.
