80 many years ago. there dwelt the descendan
g Of Peter Van Schrenbendyke, who had clea
= ed his own farm, guarded it carefully fro
n the attacks of the Indians, and willed it
]. his son Jacob. The farm was transmitted
s. regular order from father to son, and at la
/ became the property of Heinrich Van Schrel
! bendyke-a good natured, stolid TeutoI
;, whose son Johannes, bright, lively yout
/ Of sixteen, was told to saddle the horse an
ride to mill with grist and hurry back Til
> grist was on such occasions placed in on
end Of the bag, and large stone in the othe
l. END to balance it. Johannes, having throw
y the sack across the hOrse's back and got tn
r grist evenly divided, had no need of the stOa
I to balance it. lie therefore ran 70 his fathe
c and cried
"Oh fadder, come and see. We don'r nee
e the stones any more.

scene, and with a severely rcproachlul lool
