Before they wcntaway.it it rum up to enow like all natur They haddent got.. fu' frDra 'nc houae when they was knowiu to my comin. So they sot out and run like a oonple of geese when a fox is arter 'em. I hollowed to 'em to atop and tolled Vm I only wanted tocort 'em, hut they only run the faster, ami the wind blew and the snow flew rite, in their Jkasj, but fust they knowed they was stopl by a big snow bank th.it laid all acrost the road and was as hi as their middle. So they run backwards and forrids, and did'nt no what to due, and then I cum up to 'em. So I begun to think which of 'tun I should cort. Sukv had the biggest nose; but Jane had the biggest feet. So I sot to considcrin' which 1 should 'gree to cart, and fust I knowed they had cut across Zek Cornstalk' lot, and Was both gone out o' sight as fast as they cud oo. I pulled off my hat and stamped on it,-I wi so tarnel mad, and blowed liafT an hour, then I roared like a bull; then I nayed like a hose, and I vowed that I'd be up' to them gals if I had to tear up all the tress butof the ground, drake all the rocks, and drink up all the rivers and thai picked up my h;il and put it on. The next time I tride to get a gal was when I went up to Koneud to see the mon ument they were 'reeling there about the ilruish 1 went into tavern there that was kept by man they called Wesson; and I sot down to dinner at a grate long table.

So she did'nt make up her mind, and so I was crost in love that time tue. There was about a dozen maple trees that gVowed a little way from,, our hjpuse, behind the walnut grove. Tiow all tlufgasi i oar parts is drearilul fond orsap. 5a I 'mowed that, and-iniermined to fix a war to ketch 'em.

The sap begun to run and I knowed the guts would get a " scent of iu So 1 went a little penre and watched for em lo cum. Pretty soon I went back but no gals were there, and the Sap ifrna ruunin!'

So t kept stock Mill, and in a minuit I seed the g.ds comin over the fence, and thejlookt all round to be sure that noboddy seed'em, and they crept along softly as two black ' snakes and went rite off to one of the trees. 'I hen one ot 'em took out a cup from vuder her apron and they begin to put in all they new upon the sap. So I kept as ft ill as a skunk in the day lime; and then another gal eum poking along from behind a bush. It vat the gal in a white rock. ..She cum up and put ia for her sheer of the sap. Pretty soon three more - gals-cum over the fence, and one of them was so greedy that she took up a pan and begun to drink out of it. Then I run back to the house and got a bod cord and I made a slipping noose in one end of it, and went back. I he gals was all there as thick as crews in a cornfield. 8o I edged up till I got neer enuff and then I throwed the slip. ing nose over 'em. It enm down over her head of one of the gala and kelched ber round die Waist I draived light on it and held it fast. I was but of sight behind a busji, but when the rest of the girls seed that one, of their number was kelched, they run like turkies and scampered off with aU their mile. I kepp pnllin' on the rope till I draw ed the gal about a rod behind the bushes, but she kepp sqtipwking all the time like a goose tied up in a bag. I tied the end of it around the tree and then goes op to the gal, and found it was Nancy Stratum.
