"Yes," replied a countryman.

"You didn't let me finish." enmo the reply. "When my father died, he was buried at in own special request at the bottom of our garden, and when, some six years later, the rallway company bought our land for their new line, we exhumed the old boy, and by god! he was even then a better-looking spreimen of a man than you Arc now."
