bad worked on it and hove it all out of shape and I aint it a when I say that there was rocks along hero right in llicmiddlo of the road as that boss Folks had nidged out round the rocks could and by so got bout the piece of road you ever looked at- in order to build a good road Mr proceeded learnedly youve got to have two things stuns for a foundation and good gravel lo finish off the lop with We didnt have neith er the stuns nor the gravel at least they was here handy but we didnt have no right In touch em There was a gravel bed a quarter of a mile long and two tumbledown old stun walls to Major Pari in and they a bit of use to him neith er one of Hut he wouldnt let us have a stun nor so so much as a spoonful of gravel lo fix this road that was a menace lo a life I wont say why by wouldnt let us have nough lo mend the road it was on account of the selectmen and him bavin words over the town lights the majors a kind of old lunkhead always mistrusted that wasrecly why he wouldnt let the gravel go The selectmen tried it twothree times and they even sent others lo trade for it in private but it never come anything and it got so at last that the major wouldnt oven talk about it with anyone You see went on Mr Olway the road in this part of the town arc like the Idler A the major lives OIL the left leg as you might say and we folks hero are on the light one and lhalrqugh cross road we come over a spell makes the crossbar of the letter The majors leg of lib letter is the state road and that road and this one comes to a peak at the depot As long as he had the state keep his road in shape for him he to care how wo folks over here got to de pot or whether we eVcr got there He owned the gravel and ho would not sell it and we could like it or not jest as seemed handiest and easiest for us Thai was the way tilings stood a year ago this spring when the big freshet come and things here wussn I ever remeinber be fore It washed this road were on till it looked like a piece of ploughed it took the bridge over on tho slate road and whisked it away and there tho major was out off frm the depot come Monday mornln I Td drove over on the state to bring him to a sense of what we had to drive over every day of bur lives over here on the south road jest at first after we lurncd into the crossroad eased him along as careful as I knew how- I could hear him and his watch behind hut didnt let that worry me and he began to brad a little to go faster this aint no lin park were drivin I thought Id go kind of slow till we git out into the main road and then mebbo I touch the boss up a mile and- git along a little belter You wail J says In a few minutes we fetched out into main road And now thinks I Ill jounce you along hero as fast as these bould ers and washoutsll let mo So leaned out over the dasher and fetched the a wallop with the ends of the reins and ho started with a jump that almost yanked the major out of the seat I slanted my eye back to see if he was still in the wagon and there he sol with hand on each side of tho mora known VIC I I I I FITTED AND SOLD v J j MM i I of seat on for dear Send to fHtnda road that on a little mat ter of business and met ma jor to the station to get forenoon his hired man had hitched up to carry I passed the lime of day with em and was my boss walk up hill I beard a hollerin go- in on behind me I twisted round in my seat to what matter was and see the major both arms and fit to bust and beckon n mo back So I cramped the wagon round and started back 1 When I got to where the ma jor was explained Mr life and the wagon side ways every time a wheel hit a rock and that was bout every time they turned round on the ex Wed gone a quarter of a mile like that when I felt a dig in my ribs and heard the major that got lo git out and git his hat it had jounced off when I hit a boulder a mite I lo When he come back ho Was wipin the mud offn it and What a road he A man cant oven keep his hat on Couldnt you go a little more care ful Wal careless like your bat off aint anything here on this road youll lose your coat and vest off if they aint bull toned up tight And as for more careful I says I drive you careful and miss the train or I hurry some an git it mebbe Take your pick I says it aint to me either way He got back into the wagon an settled his hat down till it most rested on his ears Go ahead got lo git that train if it kills me I I guess it wont kill you but mebbe youll wish it would fore we fetch the depot So I hit the another lick with the reins and we started again He didnt make much talk the rest of the way but I guess he up a Ihinkin all the time Once he leaned foraro and hollered into my ear Is road he says the words yanked out of him between jounces had as this all the lime No says most of the time its wuss lake it in sum mertime when the ruts get hard He settled back and didnt say any more for spell Wo went on a piece ralllin and from one side to the other and then I hollered back out of the corner of my mouth Its a good road to haul And jest then we struck a rock that like lo hove us both out of the wagon so I had to quit and git the back into the road fore I finished Aigs over hollered I heard him snort and say something but I couldnt make it was he said From thereto the depot I didnt say any more but if there was a rock that I misled with both wheels it was because I didnt sec it in time I had lo drive a mite crooked to hit em all but took pains And I fetched a grunt out of the major for every ho got When we flnly got to the do- pot and I got a chance to look the major I was sort otscored for a minute to see how ho look ed The wheels had mud and spattered pretty all overhand about his last breath had been jolted out of him But after I looked at I made up my mind ho was all right so I started lo turn the boss and go back home hut be held up bis hand and slopped me- You wait a minute he says I want lo send a word by you And he hauled out of his pocket and begun Men Wool i r I JM to write on it got It done he folded it and handed it to me There he says I want you should take that to the selectmen This ride you give me this has made me change my bout some things he says and Ive changed it aint go- in lo give it any chance to change j hack lice IS STILL GOING ON Our slock is gelling lower but our as sortment is still good Get your supplies and save

over that road any moren neces sary in the its to now- Thats all the authority need lo use every mile of that gravel if its needful And with that off he with bis head in the air straight and stiff as
