know to-morrow. We went out and got one load before dinner. Mr. Lamb came over to see if he could get some hay. Dad said if he could send a couple of men and a team & waggon over he could get a load but we didn;t have tme to haul it, so he said he would.

This afternoon we fgot another load in and unloaded, and then went pout to cock up the rest of the wind rows. One of the little black kittens followed us out and caught a very young mouse and gobbled it. We didn't get quite through before tea, so dad. went out after tea and worked at it till nearly ten and still left some.

Franf and I fdrob=ve doen toen after tea and Dick didn;t come home and FRank wanted to see the Maple {----?} to know his fate - as to whether he had passed his exams. althoughhe mad eit seem as if getting his wheel was the real object of our trip. The wheel wasn't domne so we went down to Huby's to see the paper, he was very disappointed not to find his name among the successful candidates as he was pretty confident he had passed. Poor old Jim Law was killed to-day by Dave Turner;'s engine. He was crazy with drink as near as we know jumped in front of the engine before Dave could stop for him, the enginethrew hom and I think fractured his ski=ull. He died an hour or two afterwards without becoming conscious.
