chores I was late getting over. but Melissa was home and had the cows up and partly milked. She went over to Donald's to get Ina to stay with her to-night.

Saturday September 14th

I was over at Tupper's again this morning before day light and found the lantern still burning on the table where I had left it last night. thinking that Melissa and Ina would be right back but Melissa stayed over at Donald's all night. Tupper didn't get home to-day so I went over to-night and was surprised and a little worried to find that Melissa had not emptied the cream nor washed the seperator and aparantly had not been near the house all day so when I got the chores done I went over to Bill Donald's to see if she got there al right last night. They were all just coming out of the lane heading for town and Melissa was with them so I had my mind made easy and got a ride home. We finished thrashing of the other stack this morning and it turned out just as well as the rest and made the total number of bushels up to 1240. The granary bins are all full as well as the little box stall in the horse stable. When they got through up here they moved down to Alfred's and Dick Frank and I went down with them. We thrashed there till about four o'clock and got finished at Alfred's. He had 408 bushels of oats and 14 of wheat and is a as tickled as he can be. The wheat was nearly pure blue grass. I was in the straw all the time as no-one else would go into it so felt pretty dirty to-night. When we got home Dad. had gone down town to see the dam and hear what Hon. Mr. Cavell had to say about the harbor. He says they will start work next week repairing the pier. I went down to-night and got my hair cut but there wasn't much going on. Charlie Quanbury treated me to ice crem. Fair.

Sunday September 15th None of us went down to church this morning as we were late having breakfast fast. I didn't get back from Tupper's till about ten o'clock. This after noon Dick and I went down town and I went to Miss McQueen's with Marj. I came home thinking I would have to go over to Tupper's again to-night but was rejoiced to find him here to tell me he had got home. He said every thing was in good. shape and gave me two dollars for my trouble. I had my tea and went back down town
