Amiel Perdue had been uptown and brought down the early mail, of which the most important piece was always the Boston morning paper. Cap'n Joab had helped himself to this and was already unfolding it. "What's in the Globe paper, Joab?" asked Cap'n Amazon. "You millionaires 'round here git more time to read it than ever I do, I vum!"

After a search, we found a lantern under a heap of bags and harness. It was cracked, but Asa succeeded in lighting it; and about the first object I saw with any distinctness was old Tommy, doubled up behind a tree. "Are you hurt?" Addison called to him. "Wal, I vum, I dunno!" the old man grunted. "Wa'n't that a rib-h'ister!"

"I vum! ain't I spendin' a fortun' on her schoolin' at that Briarwood Hall?" "And didn't she save ye a tidy fortun' when she straightened out that Tintacker Mine trouble for ye, Jabez Potter?" demanded the old woman, vigorously.

"Yes, it was too bad, when there was that white hen turkey she could fat up so easy before June, and she knew how to make 'lection cake that would melt in your mouth, and was enough sight better than the black stuff they called weddin' cake. Vum! she meant to try what she could do with Mr. Cameron."

Just then, too, her father entered, bringing a great gust of cold air with him as he opened the door. "Up yet?" he asked in his big, cheery voice, as he unwound the gorgeous worsted comforter from about his throat, and shook off the sleety rain from his tarpaulin. "Waal, this fire's a purty sight, I vum, for it's a dirty night out, an' no mistake.

But Addison and I could not bring ourselves to kill them, and we went to ask Tommy's advice. The old man was pottering about the scoot, trying to recover his traps and gun. He hobbled down to the brink of the chasm and peered over at the disabled animals; but "I vum, I dunno," was all that we could get from him in the way of advice.

Well, I vum! An old man like me, all alone in the world, with twins! What'll I do with 'em? Answered me thet, will ye?" And he scratched his head in perplexity. "We can keep them for the present," answered Joseph Morris. "Indeed, I don't think my wife will care to give them up in a hurry. She said this morning the youngsters had taken a tight hold of her heart."

"Did you want the devourin' element to consume that buildin'?" "I did," replied the theatrical man. "Well I vum!" declared the volunteer chief. "Boys, we made a mistake." "The next time I'll tell the inhabitants here what my plans are," went on Mr. Ringold, grimly. "I told you I wanted it to burn."

I've staid penned up in the house all I'm a-goin' to! "I've quit it, by Vum! First my stepfather passed away. I never liked him he always imposed on me; but we all went into deep mournin', staid out of society jest shet ourselves up in a black jail for years. "Then my mother-in-law left me then three years more of solid black and solid stayin' to home.

"But it was my melon," I said with a trembling voice. "Yes and I vum it's too bad! But, Bart, you ain't learned yit that there are wicked people in the world who come and take what don't belong to 'em." There were tears in my eyes when I asked: "They'll bring it back, won't they?" "Never!" said Uncle Peabody, "I'm afraid they've et it up."
