AS 1t now appeared that the old gen

was divided among the sons and
daughters and Simon got nothing. One
Of the first acts of the heirs to the
property was to improve it by tearing
down the old Woodshed and using IT
for kindling wood. When they got to
the floor they found the nests Of many
rats. In one Of the nests was a sheet
or parchment. 1t bore the marks Of
teeth, as though the rats had tried
to tear it, but it was still intact and
the writing was legible. The parch-

rest of the property was willed to his
sons and daughter.
The will was executed in 1881, when
Simon was IA years old. The lad was
a great favorite with his grandfather
and he remembers that he promised
to set him up in farming" The COWS,

were distributed over three townships
and Simon had to collect them after

The lithesome young women were
like two bluejays attacking a hawk,
and when one was not scratching the

from the rear. The contest lasted ten
minutes, and although both girls had
their clothing torn and one had been
thrown into the water they forced the
man to fee. q
That night one of the girls told the
foreman, and when the logger ap-
