one end OF a wire TO a bale Of hay in the
shed where he keeps bis feed, aud the
other end 10 o bell in the house so that
IL the hay should be disturbed the bell
would ring. The scheme seemed to be
such an admirable one that George sal
down and laughed TO think how he would
surprise the thief. George had not long
to wait before the bell rang violently and
without waiting to make an orthodox
toilet, he rushed out into the night e
wreak his vengeance on the villain WHIT
stole his hay. He found the hay al
right and no thief on the premises. 4

back to bed repeating his Sunday schoo
catechism. In spite Of his previous pre-
, caution he had some more feed stolel
