Back to the Old Home
Ely ELIZABETH ROBBINS
Copyright, by Joseph II. BowlosJ

Miles Torrey had not written when
he was coming home, for he dearly
loved a surprise, and so there was
nothing for It but to walk the two
miles from the railroad station.
When he reached a certjin ise in
the swamp" road he paused 10 take
an observation. There, over across
on the Bridge" road was the old
Torrey homestead, looking exactly as
It had always looked. Farther on were
the Gilsons' roofs. then the Witherells'
chimneys. and away beyond the un-
painted corner of something that must
be the little new chapel his mother
had written about. On the nearer side
was the Harwood place, and nearer
yet. the Caswells' barn, which, from
this point. he remembered, shut off the
view of the house.
Miles continued on his way with n
feeling OF lively satisfaction in find
ing SO few changes after five years
absence, so when he had turned the
corner and come to where the Cas-
wells house ought to be, and there be-
held only its blackened timbers lying
on the ground, he was a good deal
shocked.
when and how did It happen?"
he asked his mother, after he had en-
joyed TO the full her astonishment at
seeing him, and each had inquired aft
er the others health.
1T was three months ago. in Sep

Burrell came along one day and said
old Jed Washburn had been sick. all
alone there in his out-of-tHe-way, tum-
ble-down place. and they packed up
some things and started right off to
do what they could for him"
Aunt Mary and Uncle Nathan, all
overt" exclaimed Miles.
They think the chimney must have
been burning out, and somehow set
fire to the woodwork inside Mrs. Tor
rey went on. AT any rate nobody
saw the smoke in time to save any
thing, and everything was fiat when
they came back"
Too bad, too bad" said Miles. 81
suppose they went to live with the
boys?"
Yes, though couldn't find out from
their letter which one they're with
Neither Mary nor Nathan were very
much for writing"
Perhaps they'll build again"
"Oh. they can't! They were toe

TRAPPING RABBITS.
Why the Proposition Of a store.keeper
Didn't Pan out.

There are lots Of rabbits in the
woods back of the rye field, and I've
got six boX-traps in the barn. II you'll
see tc 'em every morning Wen set the
traps now This proposition made
To a 14.year.old boy says Mr. Fred
Mather, the author of Men l Have
Fished with" seemed fine PROPOSE
ton. and the boy instantly agreed. He
was to put the captured rabbits in a
bag, and the man who owned the traps
was to take care of them. The boy
tells the story:
The next night was clear and crisp,
and OH how cold that morning wasl
The first trap was inspiring. The sec
ond actually held a rabbit. There was
the game crouched in the far end. |
let the trap down, and for few mo-
ments enjoyed my triumph. | was
mighty trapper!
II carefully adjusted the bag over
the trap, and then opened It. There
was thud in the bottom of the bag.
and then a glimpse of something gray
and a sound of Zip! zip' and If that
really was "A rabbit It was gone.
"The third trap held a rabbit, and
with the last failure in mind. great
care was taken in arranging the bag.
but somehow the same thing happened
again. The next two traps were empty
and the sixth was sprung.
Remembering what Garry had said
about a rabbit not biting. | put in a
/ hand md hroupbt tho animal put soma
way, memory fails to record how. but
1t does bring back the pitiful cries
| that rang through the woods. But |
! hardened my heart and dropped the
! game in the bag, and started for home
with my prize, in triumph not unmiXed
with other feelings.
After pondering for n while on the
! escape of the other two rabbits. the
recollection of those pitiful cries came
up in full force. Then | seemed to
realize that they came from poor,
terrified and harmless thing that was
taking to be killed without the excite
ment of the hunt.
Il peeped into the beg. Two large
eyes and a trembling form were in
the corner. Somehow the grip on the
mouth of the bag was loOsened. the
bottom was turned up. and a white
lump of cotton in n field of gray went
bobbng off into the brush.
when | entered Tom Slmmonds
store, | said TO Garry: Here's your
bag, | haven't got any rabbits, and
don't want any
