“Get up, Julius,” Abner called, loudly.
Julius opened his eyes, and stared about him in momentary bewilderment.
“Blest if I didn’t forget where I was,” he said to himself. “I thought I was at the Lodgin’ House, and Mr. O’Connor was callin’ me. I’m comin’,” he said, aloud.
“You’ll find me at the barn,” said Abner.
Julius hurried on his clothes, and proceeded to the barn, where he soon found Abner in the act of milking.
“Is it easy to milk?” he asked.
“It’s easy when you know how,” said Abner.
“It don’t look hard.”
“Come and try it,” said Abner.
