But it appears that no one was ill, that every thing was all right at the farm, and that the pounding was not Intended to at tract his attention at all, for as soon as there was a light the pounding stopped and the author of it gave three shrill whistles, whereupon a team drove up, slacked, hut did not slop, the man who was at the door jumped In, and off they went toward Newfane. In the morning Mr. Cutler thought he would investigate the matter a little, and to his surprise found that a jimmy had been applied to the door with enough force to split off a three-cornered piece, about six inches In length.
