BERRY ToNos

e. p. Currey has invented and
is making a light tongs to be
used in picking the Evergreen
Blackberry. The tongs are light,
yet strong, and a picker equip.
ped with them can get all the
berries on the bush without tear
ing and scratching their hands.
Mr.. Currey also makes a bucket
holder, which holds the bucket
safely and securely, thus leaving
both hands free to pick. Parties
expecting to pick during the
coming season, will do well to
see Mr.. Currey and get fitted
out with these articles, as their
small cost will be more than
made up in the first days pick
ing. Several Of the best pickers
have already purchased, and are
much pleased with the new
equipment.

My one chance seemed to be to stand
pat in the hope that the officer IL
charge might possibly come to the con
clusion that he had arrived at the
house too late-that the bird had
flown.
My position in that wine cellar was
anything but comfortable one. Rats
and mice were scurrying across the
floor and the smashing and crashing
going on overhead was anything but
promising. Evidently those soldiers
imagined that ought to be hiding In
the walls, for it sounded as though
they were tearing off the wainscotting,
the picture molding and, in fact,
everything that they could tear or pull
apart.
Before very long they would finish
their search upstairs and would come
down to the basement. What they
would do when they discovered the
wine I had no idea. Perhaps they
would let themselves loose on it and
give me my chance. With Q bottle of
wine in each hand / figured could put
up good fight in the dark. especially
as I was becoming more and more ac-
customed to it and could begin to dis
tinguish things here and there, where
as when they entered the pitchy dark
ness of the cellar, they would be as
blind as bats in the sun.
Perhaps it was twenty minutes be-
fore / heard what sounded like my
death-knell to me; the soldiers were
coming down the cellar steps! /
clutched wine bottle in each hand
and waited with bated breath.
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! In a mo-
ment they would be in the cellar
proper. l could almost hear my heart
beating. The mice scurried across the
floor by the scores, frightened no
doubt by the vibration and noise made
by the descending soldiers. Some OF
the creatures ran across me where
stood between two wine cases, but
was too much interested in bigger
game to pay any attention to mice.
Tramp! Tramp! "Halt" Again
| an order was given in German, and al
though I did not understand it I am
willing to bless every word Of it, be-
cause 1t resulted in the soldiers turn

seemed almost too good to be true that
they could have given up the search
just as they were about to come upon
their quarry, but unless my ears de
ceived me that was what they had
done.
The possibility that the whole thing
| might be German ruse did not escape
me, and I remained in the cellar fol
nearly an hour after they had appar'
emily departed before I ventured tc
move, listening intently in the mean
while for the slightest sound which
would reveal the presence of q sentry
upstairs.
Not hearing sound began to fee
| that they had indeed given up the hunt
for I did not believe that a German

officer would be so considerate Of his
men as to try to trap me rather than
carry the cellar by force If they had
the slightest idea that was there.
I took off my shoes and crept softly
and slowly to the cellar steps and then
step by step. placing my weight down
gradually so as to prevent the steps
from creaking, I climbed to the top,
