that when her brother-now a General in
the United States army-was a boy, he
was very fond Of hunting, and a great
favorite with the grown.up hunters. One
OF these took him on a bright moonlight
night in winter to see a strange sight.
The pair crept through the cold, clear
air to the home Of some beavers, AT the
dam which the beavers had built, the
moon was reflected from the ice with q
great glare, and, in this light, the lockers
on saw the beavers have q splendid game
Of coasting down a long slide, from the top
OF the dam to the ~ice-covered stream
below. The old beavers gave the young
ones rides on their broad, flat tails; all
slid down as grayely as judges, and then
climbed up to have another. They kept
1t up until one Of the watchers sneezed.
At this the beaver sentinels sounded the
alarm, and then all was still-excepting
that the lookers-on went away laughing
heartily at what they had seen.
