Have you put the pail and rope in?''
asked the boy.
The man nodded as they solemnly
shook hands, while the boy shielded
his eyes with the crook of his arm
and gave the horses their heads. He
tried from time to time to peer into
the. storm, but the snow made wraiths
round him and froze his eyelashes to-
gether.
How the horses got there the boy
never knew, but get there they did, and
whilst the icy blast probed remorse-
lessly amongst his clothes for the
flesh beneath, and poured the powder
ed snow down his neck.
The maddened animals charged him
as he lowered the bucket into the well,
and spilled the water all over him as
they fought for the first drink.
1t was slow process at best, and
his clothes and mittens cracked with
the CONCEALED ice as he hauled up each
pail. When they had drunk their fill

bits CALLED them, causing him to spill
as much as he put in the barrels, and
to slither about on the rapidly form
ing ice, rendering a foothold almost
impossible In between times the boy
rubbed his eyes and the frozen places.
1t was slow and tedious task, and
he soon was tagged, because at 10 the
muscles are not hardened. The horses
knocked him over and the sleigh ran
over his legs, but, being light, only
bruised him. In his puny rage he
slashed them with the pail rope, and
it warmed him until one of the horses
trod on the bucket and bent it fiat
Foolishly he took off his mittens tC

when he felt the sensation of many
needles piercing his hands and the
skin ON his fingers adhered to the
