Saved by His Skates.

An old Lake Superior trapper, named
Thomas Judson, Was once suddenly
surrounded by band of fierce Indians
from whom he expected no good. While
making free with his outfit, they found
pair of skates among his other trap
pings, and were immensely puzzled TO
know what to make of them. A funny
thought seemed to occur to the hunter
as he saw their curiosity, for his gray
eye twinkled merrily.
lice moccasin," he said, putting a
skate on his foot. and then made with
his hands the gliding motion that the
feet take in skating.
"Ughw grunted the Indian chief,
pointing to the narrow blade OF the
skate, and shaking his head. AS they
were near the ice, Thomas proposed
to fasten them on young brave for
trial.
The Indians welcomed the plan with
glee, for, though savages, they were
great lovers of sport. Selecting the
bravest and swiftest young fellow, tho
chief bade him stick out his feet, which
he did rather suspiciously. The skates
were soon strapped on. and the young
buck helped to his feet. The ice was
like glass, and rs he started to move,
you know what happened. His feet
few out from under him and down he
came with crack. Such shouts of
laughter as the rest set up! The young
fellow was gritty, and scrambled up
to try it again, but with the same re-
suit.
The chief now signaled the hunter to
show them how the things worked.
Thomas fastened OH the skates with
great care, picked up his rifle and used
1t as n cane, pretending to support him.
self. He moved awkwardly, fell down,
got up and stumbled around, the Indi-
ans all the time laughing and capering
at the sport. Gradually Thomas STUN
bled a little further away, whirling
about and making believe it was very
hard work to keep his balance. until he
was near the point where the smooth
lake ice stretched miles and miles away.
Suddenly gathering himself up, he
grasped his rifle firmly. gave war
whoop as wild rs the Indians own,
and dashed up the lake like an arrow,
skating as he had never skated before.
If he had disappeared in the air. the In
dians couldnt have been more aston
ished. Of course they couldn't hope to
catch him, over the CLASSY ice, and they
stood gaping alter him, wondering
more and more at the magic "ice moe
casins."
Nothing pleased old Thomas in after
years than to, tell how he fooled the
redskins. ."-Golden Rule.
