Him-that boy" replied Hoffman,
pointing to the floor.
The Justice was puzzled. He could
see no boy, but heard the half-sup-
pressed laughter that went round the
courtroom, and looked anxiously at the
officer, who said:
Hes here, your Honor, but he's SO
small I'll have to lift him up for you to
see him.
Leaning over his desk the Justice
was able to see little fellow, nine
wears old, with his fists in his eyes,
crying hard. After long stare at the
complainant the Court asked the des-
perate criminal to answer to the
charge.
"My name is Patrick Davall," he
lisped, land l told him that if he did
not let me alone I'd lick him.

1t appeared as though she had uttered
Ter own dcath-knell, for the sound had
not died away among the shrinking
echoes OF the ravine, ere the wolves
made another and more desperate rush,
but were met with unabated courage
and obviously fresh strength in the arms
of the attacked. Thick and fast tho
blows were raincd around, and furIously
the maddened beasts were pressing the
youthful defenders for their lives, when
suddenly rifle report from the western
slope Of the hollow was heard, surmount-
inc the confusion and noise of the con-
tiict, now plainly revealed by the light
of the moon bursting upon the scene.
"Saved" saved!'' cried Harold; and
the next instant, down on the bridge
like tempest, dashed Inskip with
half q dozen stalwart and armed
hunters, who had stopped at THE
Hip on their return home after night
fall, and, learning the apprehensions
felt at the non-appearance of Harold
and Jennie, had offered to accompany
Inskip and ascertain the cause.
So impetuous was their charge on
hearing Jennie's despairing cry, that
the wolves were taken by surprise, and
those confronting her were either
crushed by the dubbed rifles or hurled
into the swollen and tumbling torrent
at the bottom Of the gorge. Harold. in
the excitement and wild joy OF relief,
flung his bloody ak at the last retreating
wolf with q ssthere, take that for part
ing blow" and had the qualification OF
seeing the battied brute disappear In the
bushes dragging away his hinder legs,
broken by the well aimed blade. while
Jennie fell into the strong arms of her
foster father, and wept silentlyupon his
manly and faithful bosom tears of graf
itude to Heaven and him for deliver
ance from a hideous death
Those wilds of c. County now
"blossom like the rose.'' The vast for
ests have disappeared. Thriving towns
and villages have sprung up in scores,
and well-tilled and magnificent farms
are evidences of contentment and pros
perity. The iron horse awakes the echo
OF its hills, and its white plume floats
over its prairies, while peace, plenty and
intelligence combine to render happy its
well-to-do and hospitable citizens.
Harold and Jennie long since repaid
each Others faithfulness on that event
full night, by linking their hands and
hearts together for life, while often, by
the evenings cosy tireside, have the
rosy-cheeked children of the sugar-mak-
ers of 1874 begged papa or mamma ''te

THE YOUNG SUGAR-MAKERS.
A Story of Northern Indiana.

"A
Forty years ago the upper portion of
c. County, in Northern Indiana,
was comparatively wilderness. The
settlers were few and far between, and
it was only after ride Of many miles,
through forests and across prairies, that
the traveller might find evidence Of adj
vancing civilization in the presence of a
log cabin, planted on the edge of a clear
ing made by the pioneers ak. Broad ex-
panses of prairie lay to the north, with
out the sign Of a human habitation,
while vast forests of walnut, oak, ma
pie, hickory, birch and other woods as
yet furnished few signs that they had
ever been penetrated by the adventur-
Gus white man, and these signs were
principally the ''blazed' paths, made
by cutting through the bark to the
white wood of the trees, sign scarcely
distinguishable after twilight set in.
Here and there they had been marked
out by hunters, or county surveyors, and
they were always a welcome sight to
one who found himself lost in the ''track-
less woods"
Occasionally the ng-deserted camp
of the departed Indian was met, adding
to the sense of loneliness that fell upon
the rover venturing to traverse these
wilds, and what was still more startling
was the appearance now and then, in
some especially secluded spot, of a red
mans grave. And yet it was not a
grave in our sense of the word since the
s.untutored savage" in these instances,
had not buried his dead, but had built
an oblong pen of poles, some eight feet
in length by four in width and three
and one half feet in height, in which the
corpse was placed in one end in sit
ting posture. Such a sight was not an
agreeable one, as the body, or rather the
skeleton, in those days, could be seen
through the crevice of the enclosure,
which frequently had been widened by
the wolves in their frantic efforts to
gnaw through and reach the remains OF
the warrior whose spirit was then far
away on the happy hunting grounds,
oblivious of the peril to his. abandoned
flesh and bones.
The winter of 1884, had been unu-
sually severe, the temperature frequent
ly dropping below zero, and the SHOWS
that had fallen early in December lay
upon the ground until the latter part OF
February. Everywhere the streams
were locked in icy letters and not ear
lier than the middle of March were they
wholly free from their long and weary
fhraIldom. But with the first month OF
spring the sun began to warm every
thing to life again, and the brooks
leaped joyfully along, the birds returned
to their accustomed haunts. and nature
assumed once more something OF her
wonted appearance.
