Clarence knew the rest The boy
had turned from his prize 20 find that
Dick was in trouble. In great anxiety
he ran forward, raising his rife but
not daring to fire for fear that he
might kill the guide himself. Watch

aimed carefully and fred. That ended
the struggle. The great bull moose
dropped and lay quiet within three

why they're making man
They're making a doll man out OF
snow aren't they Louise?'' she ex
claimed.
Yes they are!" answered Louise
happy to see her little guest was al
last interested. Come on let's go up
close and Rart'll let you make some
of the buttons, 1 know he will"
So Betty. forgetting the cold and
the newness of everything, began help
ing to make the snowman. Oh, he
was handsome fellow. that snow
man was! His smiling red flannel
mouth was cheerful - could be; his
coal black eyes shone in the sunshine
| his hair of pine needles was parted
just right and his buttons of pine
| cones showed a stylish double breast
ed coat. All the morning the four
| children played out there running in
the house every once in a while to
warm toes and fingers and running
back to make something else they had
suddenly thought about.
After luncheon. a cold wind came
up and 1t seemed unwise to let the
little visitors stay out too long in the
cold on the very first day, so they
played indoor games until nearly four.
when Bert and Louise had to do some
errands.
Never you mind about us," said
Allan as he saw Bert hated to leave
them. Wen watch out of the win
dow till you get out of sight and then
we'll find something to play tin you
come back"
They stood at the big front window
and watched their little cousins go
down the road and then they fell to
talking about the big snowman who
stiH stood out in the front yard.
I'm sorry for him. I am" said
Betty. II know how cold 1 was when
1 just stood around this morning and
he must be colder than I was cause
it's lots colder out now-Aunt Nell
said n was"
Funny how we let them go off
without helping them take him in,"
said Allan. It'll be dark befsre Bert
gets back. I think we ought to take
the snowman in. Betty. If we did it to-
gether. guess we could
WELL" answered Betty as she
looked the snowman over. IF we
couldn't take him in altogether we
could take him in pieces like we made
him and set him up again inside"
''That's a good idea" agreed Allan,
Tets go ask mother to let US go out"
But a search through the house
showed them that the two mothers
had gone out to the barns to see the
new chicken houses and there was no
telling when they would be back.
well, We. know mother always
makes US bring our toys in, so let's
bundle UP good like she'd want US to
and do it quick before IL gets too
dark" said Allan. So they they put
on all their wraps just as they had in
the morning and went out to work
II wasn't an easy job to move that
snowman-you know that If you've
ever tried such a task. But finally, by
hard work and much effort. the chill

was older and it was easier for him
to make friends with a strange cousin
Louise looked around for her brother
thinking he might help her entertain
Betty, and she saw him rolling up
great masses of snow.
Come on. Betty" she suggested.
lets go over and watch them awhile"
Betty, glad of a chance to be nearer
her brother. followed Louise over to
where Bert and Allan were playing.
But she couldn't make out what they
were doing. Bert rolled the snow to-
gether-oh, a lot of snow-tiIl it
made a big ball. Then on top of that
he set another, somewhat smaller ball
made the same way. And on that a
still smaller ball. That seemed a
funny way to Pay. Everything seemed
funny.
Then she heard Bert say. now look
here. Allan. see how you make the
buttons?" And as she watched she
saw what they were doing.

So they tramped away in search of

fresh, outgoing tracks in plenty, and
following these, they soon cvertook

Then Clarence and his guides halt

they crept nearer the game.
But It was at once evident that the
herd had scented the intruders. AS

Clarence could see them fiinging up
their great horns and emitting the air,
a hig bull stamping his feet and look
ing very fierce. 1t had been agreed
that Dick. the surest shot, should
take care of the fearsome bull and
that the boy and the Indian should
aim at heifers. When well within
range OF the alert and troubled but
not vet stampeded herd the signal was
given and three rifles were fired al
most simultaneously.
The bull moose jumped ten feet and
came down on his knees in the snow.
The boys heifer dropped and lay still.
The Indian missed and moment later
was seen running after the retreating
herd to get another shot. Clarence,
enormously elated. ran forward and
examined his prize.
Dick also ran forward, although as
he confessed later. he ought to have
known better When about two
thirds of the distance had been COW

his feet and plunged madly at his
coming enemy. Dick put up his rife

PYLEs G. PERKINS COMPANY

! Wednesday Of this week deal was
consummated in this city whereby
the Pyles & Perkins Company took
over the entire business, stock and
| equipment OF the undertaking and
embalming department OF the f. c..
Jordan Co. the latter firm in the flu
ture deyoting their energies to their
large and rapidly expanding furniture
business.
Mr.. Pyles. the senior member OF
the new firm, has been connected
/ with the E c. Jordon Co for several
years. having entire charge of the
undertaking department of this firm,
and under whose management and
courteous treatment OF all patrons
OF the firm this branch of the bust
ness has grown to its present pro-
| portions.
| Dir. Pyles about a dozen years ago
graduated from one of the best col
| leges in the country. and has sue
cessfully practiced his profession in
several of the southern states as
well as in this city, having been for
some time connected with this
branch of business here before asso-
ciating himself with f. c. Jordan &
, Company
J Mr.. Perkins, the other member OF
the new firm, is also a young man OF
sterling business qualities. and like
i Mr.. Pyles has spent most of his life
in tbs city. and is well and favorably
known by everyone He is the pro-
priet0r OF the Harrington Hall barber
shop, which business he will continue
at least for the present. Later on,
however. he expects to associate him
self actively with his new venture,
take course at an embalming col
lege and otherwise Rt himself up for
his chosen profession.
These young meg intend to make
this the largest exclusive undertak.
ing business in this part of the state.
They have secured a lease on the
building formerly occupied by the
Ocklawaha Vallay Railway as offices,
on Ockiawaha avenue, and will imme-
diately begin putting it in perfect
order This is indeed an ideal loca.
ton, and with the push and energy
that the members of the new firm
intend to put in the business, we pre-
diet that in a very short time this
iwl be one Of the largest if not the
largest business OF its kind in the
entire state
! The Banner joins with the many
other friends of these young men in
wishing them unbounded success.
