a horse and pung for her home in Au-
burn, on the westerly side Of the Taylor

stop where she was and make the best of
the situation. Wrapping the child up in
two buffalo robes which she fortunately

it, and wrapping the drapery of her couch
about her, she laid down for the night. -
She made pillow Of her arm for the lit

and one above them, and the sheets of
snow over and under all, they entered on

rendered her novel resting place warmer.
Though her sleep was not untroubled with
dreams, Mrs. Moody awoke the next NOR

Selling the cowhide or catching her hand;
but she piled the weapon so vigorously as
to keep him at bay Atlength, however,

her down on the pavement and gave her
a few kicks by way of emphasizing his
