be learned as to the extent of damage

badly.

away in fox skin gloves, and his body

ponies got away. 81 kin git along

low, but when it comes to ten in tue
valleys there's good fifteen on the
hills, an the wind e'enamost cuts the

Wisconsin winter weather never
makes failure, and when snow
storm begins there is no let up until
the heavens have sent their last
fake. The snow was two feet deep
either side of the single track in the
center of the highway, and when the
wind had good sweep there were
drifts covering the fences, with seve.
raj feet to spare.
No other teams came after-none
we're encountered. The fierce cold
was too much for farmers and ordi-
nary travellers. The United States
mail had the track to itself. Wrap
ped in furs, blankets and robes, and
with hot bricks steaming away on
the straw, stage driver and traveller
road in silence for miles. By and
by, as the ponies slackcned their
pace a little to climb long hill, the
driver pointed to the right and
asked:
''D'ye see that long house up thar?

snow drifted clear to the stills, and

was old and weather beaten. The
windows were covered with frost, the
path to the gate was hidden by drifts
and the only living thing to be seen
was a poor old horse standing on the

be traced clear from the road, and be
