Following the Babes on their adventures, here we have a strange scene. Uncle Ebenezer looks very downcast, and the man talking to him very angry. You. see,-the man to whom Uncle Ebenezer-owes money is .demanding to be paid, and Uncle Ebenezer ..has none, to pay him. “My!” exclaims Gwen, “I’m sure lie .will think put some dark scheme, to get out of his difficulties.” Now that-is just, what Uncle Ebenezer is doing.
“My word!” cried Gwen; “I wonder what he is going to do now?’ For Uncle Ebenezer had written a letter, and called the odd man to deliver it for him. “Mind,” cried Uncle Ebenezer, “that you make no mistake about this, If you do I will have no mercy on you.” “I’, I’, sir,” said the old man, "I'll see to it.”
