A Piece of String. The old horse Ebenezer struggled "* forward, trying to pull both the wagon and his stubborn mate. Mistah Mule. But Farmer Green soon called Whoa, Ebenezer!” And then Ebenez er stood still. Farmer Green sat upon the wagon seat, looking down at Mistah Mule, when the miller, all white with flour, , , < ame to his door and peered out. "What! Are you still here? I thought you had gone.” he said. , "This mulo. ’ Farmer Green er. plained, "likes your place so muoh he doesn't want to go home” , “Balky, eh?” the miller inquired with a grin. "Well, it's a nice day. I wish I had nothing to do but sit out there in the sunshine. "I don't expect to sit here long.” ' ’•'armer Green replied. "Just Jet me have a bit of string, please!” The miller passed him a piece of ; the twine that he used for tying his meal sacks. * Mistah Mule paid no heed to this 1 lalk, nor to what happened. His mind was full of one Idea. And that was that nobody should make him stir a single step until the sack of corn was laken out of the wagon. With all Topr legs planted firmly upon the ground, with his head hung low and his long ears drooping, he looked very silly, and sulky and stubborn., “Come!” Ebenezer urged him. "Don't make trouble for Farmer Green!" "Save your breath! ’ Mistah Mule retorted. “I knows what I wants to do. And If they whips me, I’se a goln’ to kick." "My! My!” said the pld horse Ebe nezer to himself. “I hope none of my friends sees me harnessed with this terrible personi I'm ashamed to be hitched to the same wagon with him." Meanwhile Farmer Greeu had jumped out of the wagon. And now he stood at Mistah Mule's head. Watching. Ebenezer saw him tie the short length of cord tightly about Mistah Mule's right ear. "What for did he do that?" Mistah .Mule asked fcjbenezer. "I don’t ktiow," Ebenezer replied. I Uncle Sam Says Feeding (lie Child.

Anil this time both Ebc nezer and Mistah Mule started to gether. T®y walked out of the grist mill yard and trotted up the road to ward home.
