with questions.
Suddenly Will remembered that he had
promised to carry pair of Blocks and tackle
to Mr.. Gray, on the River Road
"They are too heavy for me to lug alone, p"
he said, musingly, ".and if Sam Gray"
III go with YOU" put in4Jerry, If Edna
won't be lonesome"
"I'm not afraid" said Edna, with bright
smile; "and Mr.. Andrews and the girls will
soon be back"
"We shan't be gone long" said Will "We'll
come back by Jackson's and skate across the
lake."
'I can't do that" objected Jerry, because
didn't bring my skates"
"There are five pairs here" replied Will.
Some of the boys were going skating after
the stirring off. Take. any pair that will fit
you, and let's be off"
Without further delay the two boys started
on their errand, and it was beginning to grow
dark when they reached the shore of the lake
opposite the sugar orchard. The sugar-house
and camp were in plain sight,, though no one
was to be seen around either"
''It is just half a mile across the lake here" +"
said Will, as they buckled on their skates "I
reckon we won't be long going that distance" a"
"The ice won't hold, u said Jerry, obviously,
as he broke through at the. first step.
"lt has been SC, warm the past few days
the ice is rotten"
"Om fun is up then." said Will, ruefully,
"and we must tramp through the snow two
miles and half to get"
Look Will! what is that?" cried Jerry,
suddenly, pointing across the lake. '"rhe
camp is on frel"
Will looked as if stunned, as bright tongue
of flame shot into the air.
"Oh, Edna!" cried Jerry, in anguish. "There
is no one to save her! She will be burned
alivel"
For one moment Jerry was paralyzed with
terror, and then, in spite of Wills attempt to
stop him, he sprang forward like fash over
the treacherous ice, bending, swapping and
breaking at every step.
Come back, Jerry-you'll be drowned" ="
cried Will.
His words fell upon deaf ears Jerry saw
only the fire ahead; he thought only of help
less Edna's danger.
His face was as white as the snow that
Law on the hills, but never had he flown over
the ice as he sped that evening. Like bird
upon the wing he flew on and on, his feet
scarcely seeming to touch the surface, but
swift and light as he glided, his course was
marked with an unbroken line of water.
Jerry had no sooner started than he real
ized his peril, but he also realized that it
would not do TO stop or turn back. He must
keep on for his own sake and Edna's.
Will Stearns, who had been a spellbound
witness of the skate of life. uttered wild
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-09

whoop as he saw Jerry reach the land, and
then he noted with amazement that every
inch of that pc-.:..cus passage was marked by
line OF water, for the ice was cut in twain
from shore to shore!$
Without stopping to remove his skates,
Jerry ran up to the burning camp, and quick
iy tearing away the burning boughs, saved
the rest of the structure-and Edna.
Dear sister!" he cried, throwing his arms
around her; | was afraid l should be too
late."s
II was beginning to lose hope, jerry" she
said, quietly, although she was very pale and
trembling. 'I could not move and although
l cried for help, no one came"
At this .juncture eight or ten persons came
running from the sugar-house They had
seen the fire and had hurried to the place as
fast as possible
"Is Edna safe?" they asked, eagerly.
Eyes, safe" replied Jerry, giving her an
other warm embrace.
But ii. was not until Will Stearns came
around the lake, half an hour later, that they
learned of the feat that Jerry had accom-
plished.
Then there arose such a chorus of amaze
ment and admiration that Jerry would have
been quite overwhelmed if a diversion had
not occurred.
"Sugaring-off" time had arrived, and the
sap was about to be converted into sugar
This was done bye pouring the syrup into
sheet-iron pan and slowly boiling over
slight hre OF hard wood to give steady
heat
The process was watched with eager eyes
by the party, now numbering nearly forty
persons, big and little.
The boys and girls passed up their cups
to be filled with the hot liquid, which they
stirred until it cooled into delicious sugar
Others cooled the syrup by pouring it on
clean patches of snow.
Edna was given cup, and she entered
into the sport with all the zest of the live
liest.
For an hour or more the sport went on,
while the grove rang with shouts of merri-
ment. In the height of the enjoyment a
startling incident occurred.
The boys and girls were engaged in trick
ling the syrup along the snow, each striv-
ing to make the longest sugar-stick, and Mr.
Wright, the referee, had just decided that
Edna was the victor, when Will Stearns
cried out, in Mortified voice:
''Look outl look out. The log! the log!"
At the same instant loud crash was
heard, and looking up the hillside, the spec
tators saw sight that carried terror to their
hearts.
One of Wrght's men had that day felled
a maple which had begun to show signs of
decay. The huge trunk, ab@lt sixteen feet
long and two feet in diamette. had been left

on the brink of the hill, in safe enough po-
sltlon II left alone. But several OF the boys
mad gone up to inspect the tree, and had dls-
lodged the blocks which held it In place.
10 their horror, it began to move, and, be-
fore the last one could get out, of the way,
his jacket was caught in the bark and he
was sent flying, but, fortunately, without any
serious effects
low, toward whom the great log was rolling,
gathering new impetus at every revolution.
The spectators were too terrified to move,
even had they been given the time: Around
and around, over and over, rushed the log,
sending up a cloud of earth and snow, while
the thunderous noise it made almost deafened
the wild shrieks of the younger children.
But it was their very inactivity that saved
their lives. Had they tried to escape by
fight, they would have naturally fled toward
lay in deep drifts the other way. But the
larger end of the log going faster than the
other end, caused it to turn from straight
course, so that it swept past the camp on to
the clearing, and the on-lookers were saved
1t was some time before the merry makers
recovered from their fright, and in their
thankfulness over their narrow escape, no
one felt like scolding the boys, who were
contrite enough for the mischief they had
DONE
Then the great pan. of syrup, was lifted from
the fire, and the liquid stirred with wooden
paddle into. tubs and small tins-the first for

"Ever so much nicer than a May party"
said Kitty Wilson, "only we haven't any May
Queen"
Wright, smilingly.
The idea was seized upon at once as very
proper, and it was decided that the choice
should be by popular vote.
Mr.. Wright had been selected to count the
ballots, and when they We're all in, he an
nounced the result amid breathless silence:
"Whole number of votes cast forty-two;
necessary for choice, twenty-five. Agnes
Swinton has six; Mamie Clarke, two; and
Edna Boswell, thirty-four. Edna Boswell,
having a majority Of all the votes cast, is
elected your Queen"
''Move it be made unanimous!" cried Will
Stearns, as the boys and girls shouted their
approval of the choice.
The motion was seconded and carried, and
then Mr.. Wright suggested that the Queen
be given crown.
Evergreens were quickly procured, and Edna
was installed in state.
Then, after voting the sugar party a success.
the merry participants started for home

he'll stop for you, if let him know you're
going"
every WE'LL" assented Jerry; ''I'l ask moth
er, and if she says yes, we'll go. Tell Mr.
Andrews to stop for us, anyhow"
1t was in March, and the snow was melting
from the hillsides, and the air every day be-
coming more spring-like.
Jerry Boswell was bright and intelligent
boy of sixteen, and very well liked in the
little Vermont village, but circumstances pre-
cluded his entering into his comrades sports
as much as he would have wished.
He was the only son Of widow, who, al
though not exactly poor, had not penny to
spend on luxuries; and on him also depend
ed the support of Edna, his sister, lovely
ton had deprived of the use of her limbs.
As may be imagined, Jerry was somewhat
doubtful about his mothers consent to have
Edna go to the party; but, to his surprise,
she interposed no objection, and was inclined
to think it would do her good.
So Jerry and his sister were both ready
when Mr.. Andrews drove up with his big
sleigh, with his two girls already snuggled
within.

to the scene of the evenings pleasure.
Wright's sugar-camp consisted of nearly a
thousand trees upon a hillside, thus afford
ing unusual facilities for gathering the sap
Each tree had been tapped with two spiles,
or tubes made of. sumac, to convey the sap
into a long spout made of tin, and connect
ing with larger ones, all running to com
mon CENTRE where big tub was placed to
receive it. This reservoir in turn was drain
ed by duct running to the pan, OF evapor-
ator. set over a brick arch in the sugar-house
This remarkable orchard was in sight of
Peach Lake, whose waters laved the foot of
the hill, and on its bank Mr.. Wright had
built comfortable camp for his frequent
VISITORS.
When Jerry and Edna arrived with Mr..
Andrews only Will Stearns was in the camp,
the men having gone, to their !suppers, and
the other guests not having arrived.
eve have nice couch fixed up for you,"
said Will to Edna, "and the others will soon
be here, so you won't be lonesome a great
while"
Mr.. Andrews had by this time driven off
with his daughters, who wanted to see the
sugarhouse.
But Edna was not put out; she was willing
TO rest. She had greatly enjoyed the ride
and now, as she lay on the couch of leaves
and boughs, she was radiant with delight. A
