By Harry J, Boyle
The sky darkened up while we were
taking the last of the clover off on
Tuesday afternoon. Ed. Higgins look-
ed up and squinted an eye and said,
"Looks like it but it won't ... not to-
day anyhow." The young fellew from
the city who was helping us laughed
at Ed. "I'll bet you a dollar it rains
today." Ed reached in his pocket and
pulled out a handful of silver and
counted out a dollar and twenty-eight
cents. "A dollar twenty eight says it
won't rain today," I held the money.
It didn't rain until the next morning.
The young fellow is still shaking his
head when he thinks about it,
I never was much for weather
signs. I could never seem to get the
hang of them. My grandmother had
a finger she broke one time wheti she
was chopping the head off a chicken.
I can still see her look up from what
she wa$ working at in the kitchen and
say, "I think it'll rain. I'm getting
twinges in that finger again," I can't
swear to it but it did seem to me as
if she were right in the majority of
cases.
My father always complained of a
sore back before a storm in the sum-
mer time. My uncle Jim took pains in
his shoulders. I must confess that
when I take pains they never seem. to
herald anything in the way of a
change in the weather.
Just the same sitting on the ver-
andeh the other morning being amus-
ed at the perplexity of the young man
who had lost a dollar twenty eight,
I again sampled that Wohderful feeling
that comes to a farmer when he can
sit and watch the rain pouring down in
straight, pencil lines. This was a per-
fect one, It came down gently and in
great volume. There was no bad wind
accompanying it and the thunderstorm
was a mere plaything,
You could hear the ground sucking
up the water, The cavetroughs gurg-
lets and there was a splashing sound as
it poured into the almost empty cis-
tern. The ducks waddled through the
barnyard and chickens tan around In
circles trying to find shelter, There
