How to Build a Spring Raft

In the up;ing time. when the snow
and Ice begin 20 melt and form ponds
In shallow places and low ground. the
boys are thinking of boats, RATS and
other things with which to navigate
these waterways caused by the spring
freshets.
II is not always easy to build a boat
quickly, fer IL requires time to match
joints and make them watertlght, as
well as TO construct a safe boat that will
hold several boys.
And thea, perhaps. boat could not
be used at any other time of the year
excepting when the thawing ice and
spring rains make artificial or tempo
rary ponds and lakes.
For that reason raft is the best TO
make. for II is always possible to get
some logs OF long pieces of heavy tim
Der and lash them together to form a
float.
In the drawing Of a simple raft, says
the St Louis Republic. the arrange

upon at wGyside tavern by ROSTER
ing troop OF Stuart's flankers and
dragged before this cavalry command
er. One OF the parties presented the
three captured officers. Stuart invited
his captives TO be seated while an
aide took their names, regiments, etc,
and as McKinnon gave his there was
sudden sensation. The young cavalry
man sprang forward, seized McKin-
mons hand shook It effuslvely, and,
to the amaze OF every one present, ex-
claimed: Gen Stuart. am sure, sir,
you will treat This gentleman with
every possible consideration. II was
he, sir, who so nobly defended my
father at Washington when Secretary
Stanton would have sent him to Fort
WaTren-and Rosalie, too, for that
matter. II was Maj. McKinnon, sir,
who pleaded their cause with the sec
rotary and had them returned to Char
lottesville. II was he, sir, who in other
ways most generously aided them"
Il am glad to hear it, Jack" said the
bearded general. evidently warming to-
ward the westerner who had SO be-
friended his kith and kin. "Of course
you're-sure of it?'
Sure Of il. sir?-I had It from father
and ROsalie BOTH They had supposed
that they were indebted-Or rather that
their helper was a very different per-
son. man whom they had befriended;
but that all turned out to be an error"
And the upshot of 1t all was, said
Haskell, that Stuart sent the three to
our lines, the two other officers pa
rolled until exchanged. but McKinnon,
by Joye, released with Stuart's compli-
ments, and it's my candid belief. damn
him. that Mac would a heap rather be
in Washington on parole than out kere
on duty. Shouldn't wonder If Stuart
took his measure before he let him
slide" Manifestly Haskell didn't
fancy McKinnon.
One thing for Benton to ponder over,
therefore. was the question how on
earth had McKinnon in so short a time
been able to persuade that usually
clear-sighted girl TO the belief that he
had used such powerful influence ia
their behalf
But there was still another thing to
add TO his chagrin and perplexity.
Col KenDard. one of the paroled pair,
told Haskell all he had seen of Stuart
and his devil may-care command. and
much about this young confederate
oficer-Chilton, Because" said Ken
