VIII Taylor who lives out on the
Wolstenholme farm has been quite sick
for some time. and last week two of his
brother woodmen, HenrylResmeye and
John Westing, went out to visit him.
When they left him they concluded that
it would be best to get some one to do
the chores for him for few days and
for this purpose they started for Geo.
Budd's to see if Edward Budd would
not accommodate them. Now it was
stormy day and the nearest way to Geo.
Budd's was ''cross lots,' so Mr.. West
ing took the lead along cow path.
Whether or not they got into an argu-
ment over the labor question or the
value of shallow cultivation of corn,
they won't tell, but one thing is pretty
certain, they got lost. They didn't
seem to get the clay of the land'' worth
cent and couldn't tell to save their
lives where 'thoy were at" but by the
merest accident they at last got them
selves out of the woods not far from Mr..
Budd's. They agreed not to say any
thing about it but Mr.. Weshng gave
the whole thing away in his sleep.
They will take compass with them
when they 90 on errands of mercy after
this.
