Winter
Pets.
BY ]. CARTER BEARD.

The summer holidays are drawing to
close. Railways, steamboats, and every
known mode of conveyance will be taxed
10 the utmost to bring back from hotels,
farm houses, cottages and tents those who
have breathed for a few weeks the pure
air and enjoyed the sights and sounds to
be found amid forests and farms, mountains
and me adows. Something in the way of a
souvenir will not be amiss to take home
with you; and what can fill these conditions
better than a little creature reclaimed from
a state of nature; and taught by care and
loving kindnes TO love you; whose bright
eyes and quaint ways and caresses will
repay you hundredfold for the trouble
you have taken to catch and tame it? Per-
haps Oh the whole one of the squirrel tribe
will prove the most available for your
purpose, though rabbits are not bad pets
unless confined too closely, and ! know
of one child who brought home woodchuck
and another IN opposum.
Still l would not recommend the two
last named animals for household com
panions. Squirrels, like your parents and
perhaps yourself, are beginning toward
the end of this month to think of the cares
and responsibilities of life. Instead of
playful careless beings, that lived from
paw to mouth, they have become very
sober and busy, indeed. They no longer
keep comparatively near home, but wan

You can with an ordinary box gotten from

taking one of the two ends off the box be-

so. To this end you nail the cover of the
box, making an L-shaped affair like that

For a few minutes, perhaps, only few
seconds, he revolved in lis mind all the
chances of the situation. He was des-
perate and quite ready for a desperate
effort. Presently the man stopped low
over the now hotly burning fire to turn
a slice OF broiling bacon. At that mo-
Inent. with the swife and noiseless flight
OF cat, Henry bounded forward and
rushing hard against the man dashed
him headlong into the fire, and before
he could rise Henry leaped to the gun
and leveled it upon him. The man, though
badly burnt. did not heed the command
to surrender. and Henry fired. He. fell
back ward across the fire.
1t may seem strange; but Henry did not
let the rcbber burn. He dragged him
away from the Goals and flames and ex-
tingutshed the fire that had caught his
clothes. The robbers name was Giles
Carew. He did not die o! the wound
that Henry -Brack gave him. 1 am sorry
to say that, although Henry succeeded in
finding a settlement and having Carew
arrested, the willy fellow escaped from
custody after he got well and was killed
years afterwards in street fight at New
Orleans. Henry is still living hale old

Henry was captivatcd by the mans sUave
and gracious manner. They rode along for
half-hour chatting, while the sun fell
below the western horizon. The man said
that lie knew short cut across the wood
on their left, by taking which they would

unsuspecting, went with him. and when
they were deep ip the dark and lonely

he was, perhaps q hundred miles from

Overhead the moon hung In sheet OF
pale cloud that spread mist-likc over the
sky. All around was gloom, and every
where profound silence sreigned. Not even
an owl hooted, and all the smaller night
things held their voices. What was Henry
Brack to do? He quickly made up his mind
and began at once trying to get back to
the road. Slowly and with remarkable sa-
gacity, considering his condition, he moved
along studying the ground and following
as best he could the tracks OF the horses.
Now 1T SO happened that in the dim light
OF the wood he took up the trail made by
the horses when taken away by the robber,
instead OF those coming down from the road.
This led him deeper into the wild forest,
and at the end of an hour slow tramp he
came in sight OF q small fire beside which
man was STOPPING In the act OF broihng
some bacon, the smell of which reached
Henry's nOstrils with n savory appeal to
his appetite: for he was very hungry.
His first impulse, at sight OF human be-

pective feast; but when the man turned
his face Henry stopped short with chill

The man evidently felt quite safe; for
while he attended TO his cooking he sang
over and over again four lines OF ditty
popular at that time:
He bought her gown of purple and gold,
And he gave her rose and ring,
And oh, but her face did shine for him,
And oh. but her mouth did sing!'
He had rich, soft tenor voice, that nip

Two hundred and forty dollars in gold
coin would not now be regarded as a large
sum, but fifty years ago it was quite DIFF
ferent, especially among the poor folk who
lived far down in the Iowlands OF Mssis-
sippi. When Henry Brack, a boy OF six
teen, was entrusted to bear such an amount
OF money to New Orleans the responsibility
seemed almost too great for him. His
father at the time was i'll and bed-fast, and
1t was necessary that debt of S240, due
in the city, should be promptly paid in
order to hold the land upon which the
Brack family lived
Henry was the only son OF his parents and
had been familiar with frontier hardships
all his life, yet this undertaking impressed
him as something studendous. In those
days there were no railroads. Even the
wagon roads were Tor the most part mere
winding trails through dense and unin
hablted woods. SO that when Henry Brack
set out one fine March morning, riding
gray pony, he bade farewell to his parents
and sisters with the tone and expression
ofone going away yintOdeadly danger, never,
perhaps, to return.
The money, which as i have said, was
all gold coin, had been carefully be-
slowed in a leather belt and buckled
around Henry's waist under his clothes.
In pair OF saddle-bags he bore some
bacon and dried venison. Across the
pommel of his old saddle rested L long
rife, and at his side hung bullet-pouch
and powder-horn. Nor was the gun his
only weapon, for in his inner coat pocket
were two small pistols. He did not feel
afraid, but sense OF doubt and dread
oppressed his mind. The money-bag clasped
about him bore in upon his heart, as it
were. agreat weight which seemed TO hinder
free breathing.
He was young and strong, however.
and when once he was well forth on his
way he threw off much of his discomfort
and rode along whistling. For some
hours the road led along scattered plan
tations, but long before nightfall the
even jogging OF his staunch pony had
taken him deep into the unbroken will

Henry Brack had no more fear OF a
black bear than one of us would have OF
a COW. A panther and robber were
the two things Henry dreaded to encounter.
