With Three KEGS OF POWDER.
BY &. a. STEPHENS.

to the village, seven miles distant,
to summon doctor. She hitched up
and set off alone.
Kate had also another errand in
view. Unknown to any one but her
mother, she had accumulated during
the last two years a little deposit at
the village ings-bank-thirty-s
dollars in all. For various reasons
the two had kept this secret. What
ever happened, they had not intend
ed to draw out this money. But
when Kate went for the doctor that
afternoon she took her little bank
book, and after seeing the physician
on his way to attend Tom, she drew
out her thirty-six dollars, bought and
paid for the three kegs of powder,
and drove home with them. She had
resolved to get the powder through
to her father, and do it herself.
When she came home it was too
late to start for the lumber-camp that
night; but four o'clock the next
morning saw her on her way there
with the horse and blackboard, and
the three twenty-five-pound kegs of
powder in the box under the seat.
The road to Wild Brook was mere
trail, with only few scattered clear
ings in the forest. 1t was a long drive
The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1908-05-20

into the water, and although he fioun-
dered up to his sides, succeeded in
getting him across to the islet.
On that little muddy island Kate
Edwards remained, supperless, all
that night, alone with the horse, and
deer and hedgehog that swan
over from the other side. Toward
midnight the smoke settled so low
over the pond that she was much op-
pressed for breath. The spectacle of
the flaming forests at night was a
terrible one to the girl, sitting there
alone.
At dawn the conflagration had
burned itself out to considerable
extent, and Ben having lain down in
the bush, Kate herself fell asleep
there.
A shout of "Thomas Tom! Are
you over there?" walked her sud-
denly.
1t was her father.
At their lumber-camp on Wild
Brook Mr.. Edwards had seen the
smoke of the fire the afternoon be-
fore, and being apprehensive lest
Tom, on his way up with the pow
der, had been stopped by it, he had
set off very early that morning, and
was picking his way down the still
smoking trail. AS he was passing
Clear Pond, Mr.. Edwards caught
sight of Ben out on the island; for
by this time the horse had got up
and was hungrily cropping the bog
bushes.
Dread lest the boy had perished
in the fire took sudden possession of
him. The sight of the blackboard
standing almost submerged in the
water added to the anxiety with
which he shouted his sons name.
To his astonishment it was Kate,
instead of Tom, who sprang up to re-
ply, and her first words were, 30
father, is that you? But don't go
near that little pile of sand there!
All that powder is under it,"
There was so much fire still smol-
dering all about that they did not
dare unearth the powder for two
days. But thanks to the care with
which Kate had buried it, all three
kegs were found in good condition,
and later contributed their might to
blast out the Jam" in Wild Brook
From Youths Companion.
The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1908-05-20

some moments Kate gazed on It In
silent apprehension, marking the
spread of the fire on each hand. Fear
fell on her suddenly.
Convinced now that she had been
over-venturesome in coming past the
fire at Clear Pond, she turned old
Ben on the narraw trail, recrossed
the now nearly dry brook, and drove
back as fast as possible, her idea
being to return to Days clearing.
She had proceeded but a mile or
two, however, when she came where
fire had nearly reached the road in
several places. The whole forest to
westward appeared to be burning.
Whipping Ben into clumsy gallop,
she drove close by the blazing brush
wood for some distance, hoping every
moment to get past the worst of it.
Smoke, heat and sparks drifted across
the road, and soon she came to where
the dry bushes were afire on both
sides.
Terror lest some flying spark might
penetrate to the powder under the
seat goaded her to desperation. She
piled the lash as hard as she could.
A spark set the horses flying name
afire, and another ignited the ribbon
and flower-wreath of her hat; but
tearing the hat off, she threw it away
and drove on.
Fortunately for her, she was now
near Clear Pond. The little sheet
of water to the west of the road had
divided the conflagration, which
swept past it on both sides. But
where the trail skirted the east shore
of the pond there was still small
tract of woods on which the fire had
not yet encroached. Here, on the
lee side of the water, the painting old
horse stopped short. Leaving both
horse and blackboard there for the
time being, the distressed girl ran
on ahead for several hundred yards,
to see If the woods were afire on the
road beyond the pond.
To her CONSERVATION she soon dis
covered that the fire had passed the
pond to the southwark, and was rag
ing fiercely in the thick growth
through which the trail led. More
slowly, too, the flames seemed to be
working back and spreading over the
small tract which the pond had for
the time protected. Owing to the
long drought, in fact, the woods and
bushes were like tinder everywhere.
Even the little tract where she stood
would soon be burned over.
The situation was one that might
well have appalled, stouter hearts than

HoLsTEIN-JERsEY CROSS.

A dairyman, Salamanca, N. Y,
wants to know what we think of the
Holstein-Jersey cross for good milk
and butter COW.
We will say frankly that we be-
lieve it would be about the most fool
ish thing a man could think Of Why
cross the breeds, and thereby obliter-
ate those blood lines that have been
developed through years of continu-
Gus breeding. You have nothing to
gain. The most valuable quality OF
the male-prepotency-is lost. The
offspring of such cross will be an
unknown quantity. If you want a COW
that comes nearer to your ideal;
COW that gives more milk than the
Jersey and richer milk than the Hol-
stein, why not sell your Jerseys and
Holsteins and buy Guernseys Don't
mix the breeds.-J. D. W., Wellsvile.
