By II. VI. Appleman, Haley school.
one dag last summer "a boy friend
and myself started out on a trip to
the woods. We had planned 20 stay
one week. When we reached the
woods we looked all around for a
good place 20 pitch our tent FL
nally we found a nice place in a
little hollow surrounded by large
trees. I went to the farm house
nearby and asked the farmer if we
might camp there for week
He said that we could if we had
some weapon or some other way of
protecting ourselves because very
often tramps would come there at
night.
/ went back 20 the woods and told
nv companion AS 7 had JUS re-
Ceived rifle for my birthday we
took the chance.
We put our tent mp and cooked
our supper and went TO bed as it
Was 8 o'clock and we wished to get
up early the next morning.
Everything went along all right
the first night but early the next
morning we heard someone scramble
through the bushes We We're
frightened but 1 rememberer what
the farmer had told me and so /
got my rifle and my friend pulled
open the tent door There was a
tall man who looked as if ne had
not been shaved for a year His
clothes were torn and his face was
dark. He asked MS If we could give
him something TO eat We told him
60 go TO the farm house that was
about oue-half mile away. but he
replied that he had just come from
Their" and that the farme sent him
20 us. We gave him something TO
eat and he babe MS goodbye. Later
we found out that the farmer had
sent the tramp 20 MS TO see what We
would do After that we were not
bothered by tramps.
