Marj. thought I was tired though, so didn't urge me to wash the dishes and as she was tired out herself she went to sleep on the couch and neither of us woke up till after midnight so by the time we got the baby fed and had a prolonged argument before I consented to wash my feet it was three a.m. before we got to bed.

I got over home about half past nine so Frank Cecil and I got a fairly early start for the Swamp of Misery after another load of hay. We would have been back in good time but for several delays, first at Pickford's then at Jack Mason's to say nothing of several along the road - as those fellows were bound to bring a crock along. Fortunately the stack was a small one so or we would all have broken our necks as we all fell off of it several times, the crock being nearly empty by the time we got there. After about three hours of pitching and climbing back on to the stack we
