An Exciting Snow Fight
How Captain Horace. by Little Strategy won


Horace was studious lad. He d.
vided his army into two columns. He
was head Of one, while John Decker
was to command the other. So Hor-
ace ordered the army 70 advance. A
short distance from the fort they
stopped and pressed on very slowly,
only TO receive a tiercer yolley. But
to the surprise of every one, Horace
ordered his men 10 turn about and
feign a complete retreat. Down the
hill they went as fast as possible. The
defensive was scramblinG over the
walls with triumphant shouts and
started TO pursue, throwing the snow
balls they had in their hands. When
the offensive reached the bank OF the
ice pond they looked back and saw the
defensive at their heels. They ran and
slid right TO the opposite bank and
parted into two columns, each column
to meet at the point they slid from.
While they were making this circuit
the defensive was in the centre Of the
pond, where they had tried to stop
