Soon after the new house was com pleted Josh Briggs, an old neighbor who lived on the farm just up the road, came over one Sunday afternoon for a little cail. It was pleasant fall weath er. The windows were all open, but the front door was shut. ' Josh knocked a little timidly, for everything looked pretty fine. Cy, comfortably rocking in the front room, gave no heed. Josh knocked again—louder. Cy roc-ed away, silently. Josh grew restive after a moment's wait and knocked again — a good loud knock. / Cy rocked on. Josh changed feet, wiped his face, puzzled and offended, for he knew the folks were ^t home. Once more he tried It, a loud, continued knock that resounded over the entire place. Whereupon Cy, still rocking comfor tably yelled: “Ring the door bell, consam ye I Don’t you know nothin’I”—Youtha Companion.
