While matters were iu this disagreeable
condition, Mr. Ladd said that it occurred
to him lhat he was not carrying out his
peace principles very faithfully in bin
dealing, with neighbor 1' ! Bo he
resolved on a different line of action ; and,
going to the fence of a field in which he
saw P at work, he called to him.
"What do you want, Squire I" was the
blufl answer. -
"I want to talk to you about those
sheep," replied Ladd.
' I don't wan t to hear an j thing more
about ihe sheep," was P- 's rejoinder.
"You may shoot them and be hanged, if
you want to; I ain't a going to do any
thing with them. '
"No " said Ladd, "I am not going to
shoot thtiu. nor hurt them; but. I want ,
you to let me lake your heep into my '
pasture and keep them for you." "Oh,
yes," replied P , "lhat would be a
nice plan to get rid of my sheep,"
"Neighbor," said, lib "if one of your sheep
is lost in my pun lure I will pay its full vaU
ue."
Py this time P had become suffici
ently interested in the matter under die-cu-eioii
to cease fiom his hoeing and turn
towards Mr. Ladd.
"Are you in earnest 1" said be.
"To be euro I arii," replied Ladd.
"Yoa wit wpuil

safety of every sheep you will drive into
my pasture, tor 1 uou t intend to liavo

I looked sharply at tho old peaco
man for a moment, and t'icn said : ''You
may go along, Squire, J 'II take care of bo
sheep."
