JOHN WENT BACK.
Two fertile forms my side by side on
the road between the village of Bridge-
town (now Mount Holly) and Burlington
in the year i 75.
Reuben Most and John Grigg were
still wont to consult one another con-
cerning the affairs of their respective
forms.
80 by the some process Reuben Most
and John Grigg found themselves when
the necessity arose shouldering Conti-

It must not be supposed. forsooth, that
Reuben and John were childless and
alone simply because no mention has
yet been made of anything to the con-
trary. Putty Most was as fair on iii
year-bid slip of girl as one would care to
feast his eyes upon.
Reuben ideohu had many yours ago,
long before the birth oi Putty, confided
to one another the hope that one should
be given it son. to the other a daughter,
and that tho lifelongr ilriendship of the
fathers should find even a stronger tiein
the union of their offspring.
When, shortly uftcr the girl was born,
