molly but he was thnihp hard in spite of his beat efforts howev his thoughts seemed to run in a circle and to end where they began lie bad tapped one corner of the old sugar bush next to the alnaworth pasture the square of rough land contained several hundred trees more than one boy could manage alone and although melly was not alone very often his ass were very lrregu lar in thalr coming and going tor a day or two winter came back with a roar and the sap ceased to dow then the warm weather re turned and some of the spuea ran almost a stream billy jenkins came over to help and the two boys ware soon busy carrying sap to the big iron kettle set in au arch in a hollow among the trees this alnt any kind of a sugar outfit said melty comploingly a blind man could see how to make a better one no billy agreed it lant modern nobody boils in akattl any more of course not melly responded but because grandpa used a kettle away back before the civil war why aunt kate thinks a kettle is good enough for anybody now so we have to finish off at the house and the syrups almost as dark as porta rloo molasses aunt kate hasnt got any idea of progress if you had an evapqrator it would be a lot easier said billy yes and that only the beginning it would be easy to have conductors that would carry the sap from the trees to a receiving tankr and from thai it could trickle into the evapor ator dills eyes opened wide that would but wouldnt it oost like sixty you cant have things uptodate for nothing- and wouldnt the work of putting up all those conductors mid keeping them in repair be as much trouble as lugging tbe sapt it would be some trouble uelly conceded but it would bo a lot more interesting kind ofvork and you got it all fixed up thw stjgarbuah would almost run itself r you d have to feed the are yes unless i oould figure out some kind of a selffeeder you wouldnt like a self eater for the syrup afterwards would yout billy asked grinning im that uelly retorted returning the grin- and x dont need arjy in 4 provemanta im whats that there see that whatr that coffey boy hes sneaked up back of alnaworth s fence over there and is shying stones at the sap buck hitting anyone with a club what i killed him ida good doal rather right with my head what do you moan by flghting with your head hult him 7 z dont believe it would work more than once no i mean to think up some wi to fix him without iiavlnr u nuht tliere must be iota of ways if i only could figure em out youd better get right to thinking then for hrfll keep sneaking back till something happen to him or to you- they aaw no more of the coffey boy that afternoon the next morn ing dawned warm and fine and the sap flowed in increasing quantity marty i1u udell helped- melly during tho forenoon but at twelve o clock was culled home by his little slater who said that his mother wanted him tim moahar had promised to come in the afternoon but he did not appear for reasons beat known to himself welly we exceptionally buy ho had collected two barrels of sap and hardly anew what to do neat for the buckets would be running over and he had no more barrels the syrup the big kettle was ready to be clari fied or settled and so he could add no more sap to that there was all of three gallons bubbling and seeth ing in ths rounded bottom waiting ror the addition of a little milk and a beaten egg before the final sklm- mlnf and straljilrur mies derby wnul 1 perforin that last osdralion in person over the kltohtn range at home belting a dipper melly ladled out the syrup into a sixteen quart pail that he had brogght for the purpose whon only a frothy remnant remain ed he nastily refilled the ketui san picking up the pall started for the house as he stralghtenod his back a stone clanged against tbe side of the tin vi yahl yelled the coffey boy dodg ing from behind a tree new ive got you where i want youl melly waa in a panic not so much from the fear of what might befall htm personally although that loomed larger in his consciousness than his pride would have admitted as from anxiety regarding the fate of the syrup a splller of sap would be likely to take special pleasure in wasting the finished product and if that were spilled two days work would be lost q taring wildly about him be sai cuih or other means of defense within reach and so be took to- bis heels but he did not run far a few seconds convinced htm that while burdened with a weight of more than twenty- five pounds he could not pos sibly escape from his fleetfooted foe and so coming to a bbj wedged the poll between two of its protruding roots and turned to face the enemy what do you want here be de manded you i said the coffey boy and ive ot you apparently he had him indeed but on the instant melly recollected bluy jenkins excusable error about flxntlnc with his head why not try it the coffey boy waa reaching for htm with both when sud denly melly bent double and charged ugh grunted his antagonist alt- una down bard with the breath tern porarily driven from his body but in two seconds be waa up again and did not even mem to see or to hoar him the animal waa giving his entire attention to the boy n tho l melly caught up the crooketl stick that tho other iioji droppo and struck tho bull on the hip hven that insult had no oftoct and at the second blow tho ntlrk broke uy uuil time urn little hickory tree had lost mont of it bark an one aide and was heaving back and forth fast er than ever the coffey boy had ceased to shout hut with the tears streaming down tilt arlmy cheeks was devoting every energy to clinging fast melly looked in the direction of thi alnaworth buildings but no nno was in night there the road too was de sorted the hie glance swept back to thi grovk ind there throusl the fence ft caught tho gleam of tho pall of syrup wedged fast at tho foot of a tree ton minutes before tliat syrup had been boiling it must very warm besides being very sticky and almost opaque ideas sometime rame to melly with rrcut and unex pocted swiftness lit just that jd- den way one p4lined into his head now in five seconds ho was over tho fence in en more seconds he back again having passed tbe nail over the barrier nhnad of him lift ing it in both hands ho advanced warily- and when the startled bull looked up ho turned the pall aquu over the crualuroa head tho ball caught on one horn a stuttering blubber rather titan bellow came from tho mouth thus i gulfed in mwvetitrus mul the in wont btagserlng nrrmw tho iku1 ire intent only on regaining sight breath both of which ho had lost melly had told ulas derby all about it and sho was regarding him with a troubled expression of countenance in which traces of wrath utill lingered uut you lost ull of that syrup ahe said for ihe third or fourth time wasn t there somo other way of course thorn wasnt i 1 stoutly declared if there had been i d have done it and it wasnt very good syrup anyhow aunt kate was awful dark colored and i dont behove it would have cleared up good at alt dut ive got two barrels of reel clean sap besides a kettleful and i don t know how much in tho buckets and jimmlo coffey is going to help me tomorrow and just as long the run lasts we ii have some syrup for you to morrow night that will be first elass so don t you see i really put what i had to uay to the best posslblo use don t you see kaler- yoo said miss derby i see broken limb about six feet long with the stick whlsulns through the sir close behind him melly again fled but now be was fleelns with a purpose for be had seen something that bad given him an idea- mr alnsworth taking advantare of i the warm afternoon to give bis cattle a treat had turned them into the pasture for a few hours there was little for them to eat but after months of confinement the change was very welcome they ware enjoying the sunshine while wandering aimlessly about browsing here and there on the withered herbage left from the pre ceding fail and with them was a bls uolstaln bull tbe bull did not bear a good reputa tion for mildness of disposition on the contrary he was generally regard ed as a dangerous animal melly however did not greatly fear him the bull was much more likely to attack a stranger than one who he knew and melly bad gone freely about him for years the coffey boy had not upon that slender chance melly t rested bis hope of an interpoaiuon in bis own behalf petting over the fanoe in- advance of the whistling stick required unusual agility melty did not sueoed in es caping unscathed for a smart thwack made his back tingle as ha scrambled to tbe top but before another blow fell ha was sprawling on all fours in tbe pasture an be leaped to bis feet bis pursuer came plumping after him the cattle scattered as the two boys dashed in among them the cows and heifers regarded them with timid wonder but the bull with a lowering gaxe that indicated greater irritation than alarm circling behind him melly doubled a yard in advance of his nose the coffey boy seeking to moke a shortest cut possible and quite obli vious of the presence of so dange an s brushed against thorn him as be followed dose at mollys bui crouched

hurled stone after stone at the fence but it waa f tnged with bushes and be saw no trace of the coffey boy until a tattered figure cam suddenly into vlaw in the open pasture a hundred yards away and

immediate front again indeed it seemed scarcely safe judg ing from the manifestations that he saw but the coffey boy was close at hand and so back melly dodged from the corner of one eye be saw the lowered horns and baleful glare of the animal when swish i the point of the crooked stick raked his book a leap carried him past the danger point and not an instant too soon burrrroop trumpeted the bull and charged furiously with tall erect thewqoffey boy right in line utter ing an exclamation of terror sheered off at top speed with his new enemy thundering behind there melly panted coming to a sudden halt with his hands pressed against his heaving sides fight him aow if you want to fight so bed i but the coffey boy did not wish to fight the bull so bad on the con trary his ojrjimajterlaf
