came back aqain and turtled, a new date was sot for the marriage, and Farmer Smith rcnohed out his horny hand for a shake and said:

"Zabed, go! dum your buttons, you're

gittin' the real thing, and you orter be the happiest man in Woodchuck countv."

Zabed was for about two weeks. Then Deacon Gray, who was a widower and wanted Trudeiice for his second

wife, gave up some information about Zabed. When he had sworn her to the most awful secrecy he confessed that the vouns: man had a live frog in his

stomach and would probably go mad

within two years and cut the throat oi

his wife if he had one. The frog had

jumped down Zabed's throat one day when he was drinking from the horse

pond, and, though thousands of in-

dneements nau Deen neiu uui lu mm,

nothing could prevail upon him to jump out. Well, where is the young girl, no matter how her heart tunks with love, who is going to marry a young man with a live and growing frog in his

stomach? She can't be found, bne wasn't found in this case. Prudence Smith cooled off on Zabed Winters, and he went about with his chin In the air and was too proud to ask for in explanation. It was a year before one came. Then a lightning rod man

stayed overnight at Smith's, and after supper he got to talking about frogs. Seeing he was posted on the subject Prudence made bold to ask him If he had ever heard of a frog taking up in

side quarters, and he answered that such a thing was absolutely impossi

ble and beyond belief. Zabed Winters
