REBUILDING A TREE.
How Repairs Were Made by Careful
Artisans.

Every passing storm seemed to wreak
its vengeance on the big elm tree that
grew by the roadside One late winter
morning we awoke to find the world
transformed by ice on every tree and
bush. In wonder and amaZement we
looked abroad. But in front of us the
elm tree lay IA shapeless mass. broken
and Splintered by the weight of ice. AL
ready the tree had been endeared to us
by its many hardships. in which all the
family had sympathized. The tree must
not perish now.
With ropes and pulleys the great limbs,
some of them now several inches in
diameter. were drawn back to their
places; for every one Of them still chung

and wood at its base. Iron bolts were

washer under the nut at the other end.
prevented the ends of the bolt from

the branch drawn TO the trunk that no
gaping crack was left. and the crea Sc

Then higher up. between branches two
or three feet apart. other rods were run
to hold all the members in place. We
knew that if the bolts fitted tightly in
their holes. no harm would come to the
tree but that if bands were placed about
the branches they would soon crease and
girdle the parts and work much harm.
Whea the storm had passed. the dear tree
stood in its customary mood; and all the
following summer il grew as if with re-
