teddy said he as if there had been a doubt of it in his mind all along a briok oven my boy is a large oven built in the house just as the chimnry is of brick or stone and the fire to heat it is made in the oven itself ours was built of stone though we always called it the briok oven mother used to heat it two or three times a week and i had to work pretty hard sometimes to furnish wood for it but when sheepshearing time came in tho spring i had my reward one day 1 heard mother say to father i want you to save out one of the finest fleeces for josephs new suit hes been a real good boy and i didnt wait to hear any more yen never saw a boy so pleased as i was i went to the barn first thing and turret a summersault off the big mow down into tho bay by way of rijt icing well i saw my now suit taken off the sheeps back teddy and i helped mother wash the wool and watohed mr hammond card it into rolls and then mother spun the rolls into yarn and wove the yarn into cloth and oolored the cloth butterbrown and fulled it and pressed it and sent it to miss abby harttho tailorers to be made and mo with it to be measured you oan have your auit next saturday night bald miss abby smiling and though i felt sure the time would nevor como it did and i went down across the pasture lot to mr harts and took the buudle miss abby gave mo and flew home again as though my bare feet were winged i tried them on the trcuiers and waist coat and jicket and strutted about feeling very big and grand indeed then i took tbem off then i put them on again to make sure the jacket sleeves were exactly of a length and finally mother said youd better go to bed now joseph and tomorrow you can go to meeting and wear your new clothes so i took them off onoe raoro and hung them up on the big loom jist over the washbenoh a thou i went to bed to dream that a great big sheep wastryingto get them away from mo and tbo first thing 1 really knew it was broad daylight and mother was sitting on the edgo of my bed lacking as if she wanted to ory my heart jumped up in my throat and choked me so i couldnt say a word but i knew something dreadful had happened mother didnt say a word either though sho looked sorry onough when she saw that i was awake tho held np the jackot and there tbero waa a hole as big as our two hands teddy burned right through the baok i oo h i said teddy i know what had happened went on grandpa somebody had set a candle on the bench under where i bung my clothes and the flime had burned ths jicketl i didnt want to cry before mother who was almost crying herself and as soon as i could dress myself i hurried ont to the barn and hid in the old pang and there i cried nd cried as if my heart must break ooh 1 said teddy scowling a little in the endeavor to imagine grandpa mayo doing such a thing did yon truly grampa truly i did laughed grandpa and iwascrjing still when mother oimeou little while afterwards to hunt me up and comfort me dont cry any more said she jve got some pieces like your suit and iii take i hem down to mr hart s with yrur jacket arly in the morning and tell mus abby it and 111 warrant shell fix it np as good as new and the next night i had my jacket
