"But you must have some general Idea how old you are." "No, I dunno. but I know I be a fearful age." was the only estimate that could be drawn from him. "All right; well try to get at it in another way." said the pedestrian, bringing out his pencil and notebook. "Now, how old were you when you left school T "I be nine, sur, when I finished schulinV "And whit did you do then?" "Well, I was boy fur Farmer Giles fur t fteen year." "And after that?" "After that 1 worked fur Squu Noakes fur seven and thirty year." "And what next?" "Well, 1 was wagoner fur Cruker, the carrier, fur four and forty year." And so on. and so forth, until the final fact was elicited that he had been en

of a century. Then the inquirer observed, with withering sarcasm: "So you do not know how Id you

are? Well. I ll tell you. You're 373

years old on your own showing.

"I dessar." murmured the ancient

yokel, with undisturbed serenity. "I
