went well, and the dinner was simmer

house, and although she surveyed as

raids at length became SO frequent and
fatal that the entire destruction of the
sheep seemed imminent. There was a
mystery about the whole matter. too,
that added not little to the indigna-

backwoods folk, for Notwithstanding
the utmost vigilance, no man had yet
been able to get a sight of the marauder,
and opinions varied vastly as to the ami

trouble.
The focks might be carefully brought
into we'll folds at night and
every precaution taken to protect them.
