girls, are going down to Mr.. john
sons camp tonight, to the sugar
ing off, and we want you to go
with us"
Thus spoke Jim Watson, hand
some, sturdy Green Mountain boy,
one bright afternoon in March,
many years ago. -
Pm with you. At what time
shall we start" asked Simon Jack
son, who was always ready and
willing to join in any kind ofsport.
About 7 o'clock. That's as soon
as we can get everything ready.
We are going to take fathers two
horses, and Joe Blaisdell is to have
their new hay-rack put on pair
of sleds."
"All right" said Jackson. "I'll
meet you at Joe's house. ] suppose
we shall start from there"
"Yes, and you'd better bring
your gun along. There has been
some talk about Indians being seen
in the woods lately, and although
we don't anticipate any trouble,
it's just as we'll to be prepared"
The distance from the little town
of C-to the sugar camp was
some a miles. At 7 O'Clock the
red-painted hay-rack, with its load
of young men and maidens, drawn
by two of the best horses in the
State. left the house of Farmer
Blaisdell amid a jingle of bells and
shouts of merriment.
The horses were driven by Simon
Jackson, noted for his courage,
skill, and prodigious strength. 1t
was about o'clock when he
brought his team up to the camp,
situated on the edge of a small
clearing in one of the largest rock
maple orchards in that region.
Old man Johnson, with his wife,
Betsey, and two grown up boys,
were waiting in front of the large
open fire to give them welcome,
and in short time the horses were
sheltered and the boisterous party
went inside the camp, when the
fun of the evening began.
Many of our readers, we doubt
not, have visited the sugar camps
of Vermont, and other states where
the rock maple thrives, and watch
ed the sugar makers as they dip
ped the syrup from the large,
shallow iron pans and poured it
into moulds from which they short
ly took cakes of sugar of all sizes
and shapes. In the primitive days
of which we speak, the early days
of the Nineteenth century, the ap-
pliances were meager, indeed. The
sugar and syrup, however, were
just as sweet and palatable as now,
and the fun as great. But all
things must have an end, and at
about II o'clock the young folks
all climbed aboard the roomy hay
rack, and wrapped in wolf skins
and blankets, with each particular
swain in close proximity to his
chosen sweetheart, they started
homeward.
Nearly half the distance had
been traversed without incident
when the rapid tramp of horses
hoofs told the party that they were
followed. The road was as straight
as the track of a bullet and as
Jackson glanced behind him, a
quarter of mile away, a dark
patch on the white ground was
easily discernible, and his sharp
eyes told him that band of In
dian warriors were approaching.

only hope is in the speed of the
horses" he said. But have your
weapons ready, and pick off the
first Indian who comes within gun
shot. Then he grasped the reins
more firmly, and the race for life
began.
Now the speed and endurance
of the old Morgan stock would
have an opportunity to show itself.
How those horses ran! They seem
ed to know that youthful hearts
were urging them to do their best.
And Jackson's calm tones, as he
encouraged them on, made them
feel that firm hand guided them.
The men of the party crouched
in the rear end of the rack, rifles
extended, watching with eagle
eyes the approaching savages,
ready to defend their hopeless
women to the last breath.
Make every shot count, boys!'
said Sine. THE heavy load is
killing the horses at this pace, and
we may have to give 'em a fight
yet"
"All right" answered Jim Wat.
son, cheerily. I'VE are good for
eight of the red dogs, anyway.
Keep the horses on the jump till
they drop, and then we'll fight it
out.
The young women, thus far,
had shown remarkable courage;
that kind of pluck and herOism
which their mothers. 20 years be-
fore, had exhibited when their
husbands and brothers were fight
ing for independence, and follow
ing the intrepid Ethan Allen, who
led the Green Mountain boys in
many a daring charge to victory.
At the ominOus words of Watson,
however, their cheeks took on a
shade of pallor, for full we'll did
they realize the cruel fate await.
ing them if the savages proved
victorious.
The horses were still running at
terrific speed, Notwithstanding
the heavy load; but that famous
breed was at the zenith of its pow
er in those days. As they rushed
on in the maddening race the great
white flecks of foam were dashed
on either side, witnesses Of that
life giving struggle.
Only mile or two further,
boys!" shouted Jackson, as the
sharp crack of several rifles smote
upon their ears.
The bullets were whistling un-
pleasantly near, for the savages
had been slowly gaining; their
ponies were not so heavily weigh
ed as the two thoroughbreds.
"I'll settle your cried Jim, and
the next moment the report of his
long rife sounded, and the fore.
most savage gave his death yell
and tumbled to the ground.
A dozen shots followed by the
fall of the redskin. Two of the
young men were badly wounded
A bullet ploughed its way through
the fieshy part of Joe's arm, while
another grazed the neck of Jack
son, whose only remark was
"Shoot if ye want to! Well bea,
ye yetp'
Things were looking very bad
for our friends in the hayrack, and
Jim and Sine, the only two men
left to battle with the Indians
realized that any moment a bullet
might find its mark in them. The
only hope, apparently, was in the
horses. But assistance was nearer

The theory has been advanced by gome learned authorities that the ap- nIe is not wholesome article of food. noubtless in individual cases this has nroyen to be the case, but it is hard n believe that fruit that almost every ano likes. and one which can be grown freely and in practically unlimited auantities in all temperate climates, ,yas not intended for the use of man. There are other authorities, however, who come to the rescue and so highly recommend the apple that We conclude that where doctors disagree We must depend upon our own judgn ent and experience. To quote from we'll known American authorities, the apple fs composed of vegetable fiber. albu- men. sugar, acid, gum, chlorophyl, ma Iic and galic acids, lime and water. and contains as well larger percent age of phosphorus than any other fruit AT vegetable.

 Kid Gloves.
 Barefooted boys and hens form a curious partnership in the making of a pair of fine gloves. Thousands of dozens of hens eggs are used ill cur ing the hides and thousands of boys are employed to work the skins in clear water by treading on them for several hours, says the Philadelphia Record. When a woman buys a pair of kid gloves sine speaks Of her pur- chase as kids If the clerk who sold her the kid gloves knew the secrets of the gloYemaking business he might surprise his fair customer by telling her that those beautiful, soft smooth fitting @kid" gloves came from the stomach and shoulders of the 3-weeks- old colt. whose neck Was slit on the plains of Russia. and whose tender hide was shipped. with huge bundles ! of other colts hides, to France, where they were made up into kid" gloves; or he might, with equal regard to the truth tell her that those gloves in the other compartment once darted from tree to tree in South America on the back of the ring-tailed monkey. And If he made the rounds of the store and could distinguish one skin froaa another he could point out "kid' gloves made from the skins of kanga- roos from Australia, lambs or sheep from Ohio or Spain or England, calves from India. musklats from anywhere, musk oxen from China and other parts Of Asia, rats, eats and Newfoundland puppies. But the Russian colt, the four-footed baby from the plans where the Cossaclls live, the colt from the steppes of Siberia, where horses are raised by the thousand. supplies the skins which furnish the bulk oe the dalnty coverings for my lady's hands
