A TOUGH STORY.

1T is just twenty years ago yesterday,
said our narrator, shat party of US fellows
went over to Cahokla Creek on a skating
match. The day was colder than ten ice
bergs all stuck together, but the ice was as
smooth as glass, and we made up our minds
to have heap Of fun. Bill Berry was the
leader Of the crowd. He was a tall six
footer, full Of pluck, and the best skater
in all creation. Give Bill Berry a good
pair of skates, and good sailing, and he
could make the trip to Bahin's Bay and
back in twenty-four hours, only stopping
long enough at Halifax to take drink.
Well, we got to the creek and fastened our
skates on; and after taking horn from Joe
Turner's flask, started off in good style,
Bill Berry in the lead
sAs 1 was tellin' ye, it was dogoned
cold day, and so we had to skate fast to
keep the blood up. There were little breath
holes in the ice, and every now and then
We would come near goin' into 'em. Ny

Just as had finished buokling the straps I
heard noise. looked up and saw some.
thing shooting along on the ice like light
MIN. 1t was Bill Berry head. He had
been goin' it like creased electricity, and
before hs knew it went into one Of them
cussed holes. The force was so great as to
cut his head off against the sharp corners
of the ice. 1T is all day with Bill Berry,
said I. tAnd all night too,' said Joe Tur-
ner Just as he had got these words out
of his mouth, l looked at Bills head, which
had been goin' on the ice, and all to once
it dropped into another hole. We run to
it, and I heard Bill Berry say, sFor Gods
sake, boys, pull me outp I looked into
the hole, and there as sure as am sinner,
was Bill Berry's body, which had skooted
along under the ice and met the head at
the hole in the ice.
1T was so thunderin' cold that the head
had froze fast to the body, and we pulled
Bill out as good as new. He felt little
numb at FIRST, but after skating while he
was as brisk as the rest of us, and laughing
over the joke, we went home about dark,
all satisfied with the days sport. About .
o'clock in the evening, somebody knocked
at the door, and said was wanted over to
Bill Berry's. I put on my coat and went
over. There lay Bills body in one place
and his head in another His wife said
that after he came home from skating, he
sat down by the fire to warm himself, and
while blowing his nose, he threw his head
into the fireplace!
The coroner was called that night, and
the verdict of the jury was, that BILL Berry
came to his death by skating too fast"
