Byron was bitten,

Byron was bitten
Last week Byron Boyd made "A visit
to his Dead River logging camps To
pay off his men. His trousers peck
cts were stuffed with bills and on his
arrival in the land of health-giving
forests and reproducing brooks
and streams, Byron's winning smile
grew more winning and il was plain
TO all that he was glad to be there.
The Augusta statesman and lumber
man had man with a boat ready to
row him to point across the river
whence he could walk as he had many
a score of times before to his camps
This point, called "Batstick" by the
former Colby baseball star makes out
into the river a long stretch of forest
and marshy land with the bat end in
the stream connected by a long mar
row isthmus with the main shore
Byron and his boatmen exchanged
good byas" The boat was pushed
off fer the return and Mr. Boyd pushed
ed forward through the grass and nn-
derbush into the grove and both were
lost To view.
AS Byron trudged along he was spo-
large as eagles" so he says, and they
smote him face, neck, hip and thigh,
with cruel bills. They brought blood
that mingled with his perspiration as
he tramped aud fought his way TO
the opposite neck of land.
Arriving across the peninsular By
ron found To his dismay that recent
rainfalls and freshets had covered the
arm of land with what seemed to be
something like ten feet of water AT
any rate the water was over his head
and he couldn't swim with several
hundreds of dollars in bills and sill
yer in the pockets of his clothes.
1t was then that Byron's sweet
smile disappeared and an aweinspir
ing frown replaced the smile
Meanwhile the eaglesized misqui
toes continued to feast on Mr. Boyd's
warm blood.
Byron's. wonderful serenity and pa
thence here gave way and he uttered
words that sounded like fragments of
the ChoctaW tongue.
"If i hesitate, I'm lost" he mutter-
ed. ITO stay here is to become a
part of 10000, 600 vile mosquitoes. It
is not Onward Christian Soldiers for
me I'd have the bugle sound the re-
treatr'
Retreat il was at the double quick at
