I was born in Lexington, Ky. The man who stole me as soon as I was born, recorded the births of all the infants which he claimed to be born his property, in a book which he kept for that purpose. My mother's name was Elizabeth. She had seven children, viz: Solomon, Leander, Benjamin, Joseph, Millford, Elizabeth, and myself. No two of us were children of the same father.
He thinks he can wipe our good friend Pearlie off the map by having her name dropped from the Millford 'Mercury, forgetting that there are other ways of reaching the public eye. There are other publications, perhaps not in the class with the Millford 'Mercury, but worthy little sheets too.
"That's it," she said, "and goodbye until then." He looked at his watch, it was just ten there was yet time. Reaching for the telephone, he called long distance, Brandon. "Give me Orchard's greenhouses," he said. After a pause he got the wire: "Send me a dozen and a half no, nineteen American Beauty roses on today's train, without fail. This is Dr. Clay of Millford talking."
"Is Dr. Clay of Millford there?" she asked, trembling with eagerness. "Just a minute," said the clerk. Pearl's heart was pounding in her throat, her ears sang, her mouth was dry with excitement.

"Mr. Paine's intention now is to sell the farm and buy the hotel in Millford. He will still go on buying cattle, and his wife will run the hotel. She does not want to do this. She says she will not do it it is not a proper place in which to raise her children.

I hope now that the old doctor is too full to come oh, no I don't either, I just hope he's away and Dr. Clay will have it done before he gets here." When Tom arrived in Millford he found a great many people thronging the streets. One of the Ontario's harvesters' excursions had arrived a few hours before, and the "Huron and Bruce" boys were already making themselves seen and heard.
Neelands was one of the friendliest and most approachable of the young political set, and Mr. Steadman had often listened to his speeches, and always with appreciation.

"That's just the way Jim feels, too, I guess," Tom said laughing as he went out to the stable. When Tom went out to the granary he found Arthur dressing, but flushed and looking rather unsteady.
She was going to tell him that she would not need a place, for she was going away, but something stopped her. Somehow she could not dim the radiance of those eager eyes.
