the place. AS soon as he had taken his
departure, the snow began to melt. and
by sunrise Christmas morning the whole
town was afloat.
Rod rose with the sun and looked out of
the window. He could not bsieve his
eyes. Where was the statue of summer?
Where was any of the snow? While he
gazed in wonder he was waited on by the
Mayor and asked 10 explain this new and
unpleasant development, but he had no
answer ready.
The Mayor said that while he was
grateful to Roderick for affording the
people a lot of amusement, still it was not
pleasant TO feel that half the cellars were
flooded, and on Christmas day, too It
could not have been worse in the rainy
season which had just concluded the
month before.
Roderick, much chagrined, went 10 the
engineer of the freight train and asked
him to explain why the snow had gone
and that good man did so in few words
II said: Rod, you are the victim of as
mean a trick as one boy ever Played on
another. Only you got the better of them
for a time. Snow melts in warm wealth
er and l expected to see 1t begin to flood
the tracks before we left Pittsburg If 1t
hadn't been for this unheard of cold snap
you would never have brought your snow
here in good order. AS it is you've had
your fun and every one In the place has
seen and felt snow and you'd better cut
an account of the whole proceedings out
of the local paper and mail il to the boys
up at Loudon Hill. It'll make them feel
like thirty cents"
And Roderick did so and If Frank and
Wild Bill and all the other boys did not
feel like thirty cents (whatever sensation
that may be- they deserved to.

The train was met by the Mayor and
Rods father and most of the leading men
of Tuscapoosa, and Roderick was thanked
in any number OF long speeches.
After the. speeches had all been spun,
everybody repaired 10 the coasting grounds
where they found the snow ready for them.
Sleds by the wholesale had been made by
clever jefferson Calhoun, ana old and
young, men and women and children, unit
ed in the new sport of coasting and snow
ball fighting, while the local sculptor made
a beautiful statue of summer out Of the

Frank Parsons and Wild Bill managed
the affair and they bribed the train hands
not to tell Rod that the snow would
melt. The day before he shipped it there
was big snow fall which made the work
of loading much easier. Roderick and all
the boys helped the workmen and by
nightfal there were fifty cars full of nice,
clean, packed down snow.
And than Rob decided to go with the
train. II want to see the fun myself"

boys would make it hot for them If they
did so they RETAINED.
1t was bitter cold when the train pulled
out Of Loudonville which is the name of
the Loudon Hill station. Roderick, we'll
bundled up, climbed into the cab with the
engineer and waved a farewell to the boys
Thanks, awfuly, boys, for your help"
said he.
The engineer muttered something about
its being really too bad Whats too
bad?" asked Rod, but the engineer said
he was talking to the fireman. At the
last moment, Frank was seized with re-
morse and would have blurted out the Sc
cret TO Roderick, but VIII Bill stuffed his
