The last wisp of hay was in the Eddy mows. "Come on!" shouted Jot. "Here she goes-hip, hip, hoo-ray!" "Hoor-a-ay!" echoed Kent. But of course Old Tilly took it calmly. He planted his brown hands pocket-deep and his bare, brown legs wide apart, and surveyed the splendid, bursting mows with honest pride.

Father Eddy's big, hearty voice cried above the din, and there was the flaring, sun-browned "wide-awake" swinging with the other hats. "Hooray for the best hay in town! Hooray for the smartest team o' boys! Hooray for lib-er-tee!" "Hooray! Hooray!"
