WHO TOOK TIE CIDER?

A man in certain part Of our town
formed the noble conception of burying
q barrel filed with cider in lot not q
thousand miles away from his house, last
fall. 1t is always refreshing to have a
good glass of cider in haying time, and
someone had told him that cider kept
under the ground away from the air
would taste mere like champagne than
the genuine stuff itself. During the long
winter evenings when this or that one of
his neighbors happened to spend the
evening with him and cider was passed
around it had become a second nature to
him to say, II will show you some cider
next summer such IS you have never had
since you were born" And when his
friends questioned him, how he had made
it, and what he had put in it, his reply
always was: "Wait and see." A day or
two ago he went over his land to see If
it wasn't dry enough to commence plow-
ing, and as it happened to be the very lot
where the cider was buried, he thought
of the good stuff that rested securely
there. How his mouth watered as he
neared the spot! But what was that
He noticed the track of some wagon
wheels that had swung around in a cir
cle. A suspicion took pos session of him,
but no, it could not be. Faster he went,
his heart was in his mouth, and his hands
trembled like an aspen leaf. Here were
still the wagon tracks, but the barrel,
cider and all had disappeared. Now he
wonders who got that cider, and If it
really turned out to be as good as he had
xpected.-- American.
