MY ADVENTURE.
A Timo When I Was Afraid OF
Being Frightened.


"A limo When I Was Afraid OF
Being FrighTened,
This is only story of girls adventure,
but am sure most OF the girls who read II
will not wish for any thing more tragic IN
their own experience.
lived with my parents on the sloping
side of Skitchawaug, long, low mountain
on the west.sde OF the Connecticut river
The mountain was nearly covered Win
wood, but the trees oil the two sides dl1-
fered in kind. Sugar-maple, white pine
and white beech grow more plentifu!ly on
the western slope; blue beech and pitch
pine on the eastern-and the pitch-pine tree
was the indirect cause OF my adventure.
The events L am ABOUT TO relate LOOK
place long ago, at time when cone work
was, among the young ladies' OIL our section,
the leading passion IN fancy work. MY SIS
ter and [ had made work-baskets, frames
and brackets, using the scales OF the Whlte
pine cones to make scailoped edge, ana
spruce ana hemlocR ana the pretty i1tle
tanarack cones to cover the rest OF the
WOODWORK.
But we were dissatlshed because we nad
no pitch-plne cones Ill our collectlon. lhey
