the town of Searsmont, for the day, had Just
sat down to one of Ben's square meals
when the famous dog Queen sounded the
alarm and excited their curiosity. The
alarm was caused by what they supposed to
be a tramp, but it proved to be the person
who sometimes writes for The Journal
over the signature of Our George. He was
in a very excited condition and said that he
left The Pines to make call and finally
found his way to Lakeside To say that he
was wet would be putting it mildly. All
hands went to work rubbing and bathing
him and he was finally induced to take a
glass of lemonade to reduce his tempera-
ture, which was POS, and it had the desired
effect. When he realized where he was and
had taken in the situation he exclaimed,
''Halloo, Fred and here's Drag, too.'' After
taking cup of hot coffee he related his ad-
ventures, and then with his pulse restored
to normal prepared to take his departure.
The boys took boat and landed him at the
road, but we have not yet learned whether
he arrived safely at The Pines. The Apple
Picker.
