Mr.. Wilson's own story: About II
O'Clock Sunday night he woke I'D
and noticed bright light shining on
objects outside his window. Arising
and going out to investigate, he saw
flames issuing from a geble of the
dwelling. He Immediately aroused
the household and went up into the
attic to find the western gable mass
of flames quite a distance from a fue
or any artificial heat. This lead to
the conclusion that rats were the in
cendiaries.
The attic was used as storage
room for papers, old clothes and such
other articles as We're not often used
but were very infamable, so only a
glance was necessary 10 show the
futility Of trying to save the building.
The family set work getting out what
they could, but within fifteen minutes
the building fell in. Most of the bed
clothes, some of the parlor furniture
and the drawers from the old family
bureau were sayed all else was burn
ed.
The smoke house in the immediate
rear of the dwelling caught at the
ewes and every effort was made to save
it. AT last the heat became so intense
that the whole side seemed burned
into flames and the attempt was aban-
doned, hole, however, was chopped
into its rear and the meat carried out.
Next the granarY near the smoke
house took fire and was consumed
with allit contents, oats. buckwheat,
corn, chop, about 300 sap buckets
and 100 syrup cans. Under it was the
cellar where potatoes, canned fruit
and all sorts of provisions were burn
ed.
About 100 feet south of the burning
buildings stood the old house, an i'm
mense log structure preserved on ac-
count of its being the birth place of
the Wilson family. In it's time it was
the finest dwelling in the surround
ing country, logs forty feet long be-
ing used in its construction. Mr. Will
son used it as a repository for every
thing of bulky nature, such as cul-
tivators, plOws, cidermill, forge, etc.
He also had stored in it twelve thous-
and shingles. 1t caught from flying
embers and burned to the ground
with nothing saved but one bunch Of
shingles.
All seemed to be cool and half clad,
some barefooted, they worked like
bees saving everything possible. Mr..

excited, but after the fire he discover

shore, where the boys could wade
around them. Two by ten inch beams
twelve feet long were laid across the
logs and securely spiked fast, as shown
at the forward part of the construction
plan (figure 1.) Galvanized spikes six
inches long were used, so they would
not rust.
This work the boy builders did in the
water close to shore, so the logs might
be handled easily, rolled over readily
and the best vantage points chosen
when spiking them together.
1t is not a difficult matter to lay a
raft frame, but the boys found it nee
essary occasionally to cut lap in a
log for the cross timbers to lie in, if
they did not fit evenly on the surface
of the raft
After the logs had been cross beamed
their entire length the boys obtained
four oil barrels, and after making them

Everybody laughed and talked for a

she would place strings, ribbons, straw

She took Jack, her big brother. to see

as she did in the birds.
Every morning when Evelyn awoke
she would scatter crumbs on her win
dow-sil for her little friends. and they
soon came to know and love her. Easter
morning dawned bright and clear. The
sun laughed TO himself as he climbed
up and peeped into the room where
Evelyn lay in her little white bed, and
dancing over her face awoke her up
with a merry good morning.
Evelyn sprang out of bed and pat
tered across to the window where her
little friend, papa bird, was waiting for
his breakfast.
why, | wonder where his mate is ?''
exclaimed Evelyn, as she scattered the
crumbs.
AS soon as breakfast was over she
ran down to see If mama bird was at
home. Sure enough, there she was
sitting on the nest. When she saw
Evelyn coming she hoped on a branch
nearby and chirped as if trying to draw
her attention away. But Evelyn ran
up and peeping over the side of the
nest, beheld, to her surprise and de-
light, three little snow-white eggs.
20! O.! how lovely. Jack. come quick
and see what 1 have found" cried the
little girl. Now l have some Easter
eggs, haven't I, Jack?"
She danced about, while Jack stood
and watched her in amused silence.
Presently he said: Come, grille, and
tell mother about it. She's lots better
this morning"
So they went in and a very happy
Easter it was for all three.
The eggs Matched and the birds grew
strong and beautiful, and Evelyn all
ways called them her Easter brides. :

the partition, as shown in the ground
floor plan of figure No. 8. A double
deck bunk is built in the messroom.
The cabin measures seven feet high
in the clear and over the top a deck is
formed by laying timbers across and
planking it with spruce, as the main
deck was made.
Bear in mind when building raft
that nails must be generously used to
hold timbers and boards together, else
the constant rocking motion from the
boat would soon tear poorly fastened
hut apart.
Doors and window sash can be found
in stock sizes at a mill, and the sash
can be set in runners so as to slide
sideways A ladder is made fast to the
front of the hut, so as to reach the
upper deck. The siding is made of
matched boards, four inches in width
and given two or three good coats of
paint to properly preserve it and pre-
vent it from shrinking or buckling with
the weather.,
over the &per deck an awning can

square, of spruce and braced at the
corners with angle pieces. A rope
around these uprights thirty inches
from the deck should be made fast to
prevent possible fall, but when the
raft is moored in deep water this upper
deck will be an admirable place to dive
| from.
out over the rear deck canvas avn
ing may be spread to make cool spot
for the "cook" and the outdoor kitchen.
and a similar one may be erected and
arranged on the forward deck also.
A landing boat or two will be neces-
sary additions to this floating house.
After this hut was built and used
for part of the summer the youthful
builders wondered how they had ever
enjoyed their holidays before, as this
movable raft afforded them endless
comfort and pleasure. Sometimes they
moved from place to place by hosting
square sail on the main upright of
the awning and let the wind blow them
slowly along the river bank until they
found good place to anchor.

similar ones extended along the sides
as well. After the deck was laid the
frame of the hut was begun of two
and a half by four inch spruce joist
The hut measured ten by fifteen feet,
thus giving five feet of deck at each
end and one foot along each side of
the boat.
An upright joist was placed at each
corner and connected with top tim
ber of the same size. Sixteen foot joists
were used, and these, cut in half gave
two eight foot timbers. The interme-
diate studding was then set up so as
to accommodate doors and windows, as
shown at figure No. 1, which gives the
plan for one end and side and the
others are a duplicate of this.
Two doors with glass openings and
four windows are arranged in the hut,
and a partition through the middle
from side to side divides the hut into
two rooms. In one cabin hunks are
built under the windows and against
