"Well, father, I've got some news for you," said John Haynes, as he entered his father's presence, two or three days later.

"Frost's going to enlist," he said shortly.
"Indeed!" said the squire, with interest.

"How did you hear ?" "I heard him say so himself, just now, in the store." "I expected it," said Squire Haynes, with a sneer.
