have been noticed Among other objects that
escaped the observation Of one of the young la
dies, was deep slack tub, sunk in the ground,
and containing water several feet In depth, for
the purpose of cooling the heated tongs and other
tools subjected to extreme heat. This lady was
walking deliberately alongside of young man,
and was probably looking over her shoulder, in.

the gigantic hammers, and just as she was re.
marking: 10, Geawge suppose his hand should
be caught under-pschoo Murder helpr'
and screams that would have made a Hoopa's
hair jump rightu straight caused the rest of the
party to look about, and they beheld this forlorn
maiden almost out of sight, standing helplessly
and imploringly in the slack tub. She was as
sisted to regain dryer footing, and with sense
of dampened pleasure, and drowned romance,
the party hGstened homeward.
