Mike was digging well and had
reached good depth. He came to the
top to eat his lunch and enjoy a pipe.
Hardly had he begun to enjoy his pipe
when the well below the timbers caved
in. While Mike was congratulating
himself upon his lucky escape, the
thoughts of all that extra gravel which
would have to be hoisted out rather
upset his equilibrium and set his native
wits to work. Throwing his coat down
upon the windlass he took to the nearby
bluffs where he could better watch de-
velopments. Shortly after noon a
nelghbor came to the well and seeing
Mikes coat on the windlass he called
to him and failing to get response he
gazed into the depth of the well only
to see the result of the cave in. Hasti-
ly the neighbors were summoned and
with will they went at the work of

clearing out the bottom. Up and down
went the big bucket, each trip bringing
them closer to the imprisoned Mike.
About four O'Clock, vixen the workers
had reached point near where they
expected to find the imprisoned Mike,
the men were somewhat startled to see
the form of the sturdy Mike coming
across the field. "Well now boys, l
think kindly of we for cleaning out the
well. Sure now that was neighborly
trick and ! am much obliged boys,
much obliged" With that he passed
on toward the house. Elk.
