Henderson's, he would be satisfied so I got him four half pound plugs. I paid up two or three small accounts around town as I felt mighty affluent when I stuffed $65.00 into my pocket after having been broke or nearly so for so long. When I finally got down to Auntys it was after twelve and Dad. was having dinner with them so I sat right down too. Frank was alone for dinner at home as Enah was down helping her father straighten up the house. Dad. and I came back to the farm right after dinner and bagged up a small grist and then caught 12 of Tim's ducks and put them in bags and took them up to Jack McBrides. They averaged 8 1/2 lbs apiece and Jack paid 16 cts a pound for them.

I got home just before dark and spent the evening reading a LIbrary book called "The Sport of Fate" which I borrowed from Aunty Alice. Cloudy & strong cold north west wind, getting colder to-night. I noticed this morning before day light that I could see the reflection of the East End light every time it flashed quite plainly I never noticed it before from out here but it was very cloudy, so I suppose that accounted for it I had Harry B. out of bed looking at it and he seemed quite interested. Dad. had another letter from Mr Parks, very cheerful. He hopes the end of the month to settle things
