. , i i i i i A i i.S Too Much Credit, Mr. Kcene, a shrewd and thrif ty farmer of Alleriborough, own d alarge flock of sheep, and one autumn, when it came housing time, he was greatly annoyed tipon -missing a number of his . nost muttons, among them three or four wethers whieh he raised nd fattened -for "his own table. He was not sure it was" not 'the work of dogs, and the most b, eoukl dp was to await further de velopments. On the -following spring, ; when hi slieep were turned out to pas ture, he instituted a careful watch, and ere Jonir he detected Torn Stickney, a neighboring fanner, in the act of pilfering a sheep. He made no more noise about it at the time, Stickney "was a man well to -do,' and Keen'e did not f care to expose him. ; Autumn came again, and uprh counting up his flock, Mr. Keen e foutid eiglit sheep-missing. j; : He made out a bill in due -'form to Thomas Stickney for eight sheep, and presented it. Stickney clink ed ' and stammered, but did not back down. Like a prudent man, he .paid the bill and pocketed the receipt. 1 r . :-)' Another spring time came, and Mr. Keene's sheep were again turned out. Another- autumn came, and the farmer again took n account of his stock, and j tins' time lifteen sheep were missing. As before, he made out - the bill to Tom; .Stickney '.for jitlie; whole number missing ; but 'this time T objected. j 4 tt;is toomuch of a good thing, . aiil he. 44 Fifteen slieep ! Why, bless votir soul, h haven't had a fifth part of em." - i Mr. Keene was inexorable. "There is- the1 bill," said, he, 44 and I have made it olif in .good faith. I have made no fus when mv sheep have been missing Je-oau-e T ileenied your credit good sum'-ieif." t ' a " Well," groaned Tom, with a biir irulp, A I suppose I must pay ; bur' he .added, i ii lKitical iy , wv'l! close that account from this time.
