The interstices! between the logs were filled with | sticks and moss; plastered over with clay. - Thus the pioneer's house was complete, and not a nail or screw was used in its construction. When lumber became available, a plank or thick board door took the place of the quilt in the doorway. bis was fastened by a strong wood- en latch on the inside. The: latch was lifted from without by means of 8 leather string attached to it and passed through a hole a few inches above, and when the inmates of the house retired for the night, or did not wish to be molested, the string was pulled inside. The old saying, | "the latch-string is out," was a figur- ative method of expressing a wel- come, or saying "the door is not, barred against you." The pioneers had big hearts, and to their credit it can be said the latch-string was rarely pulled in when a stranger sought a meal or a night's lodging. | If the family were large the attic Was converted into a second room by carrying the walls up a log or two higher. Poles, flattened on both sides, were laid Yrom side to side to serve as a ceiling to the room below and as a floor Tor the one above. A hole 1sft in one corner gave admits tance by means of a ladder, and one small window in the gable completed the upper room. For the same reason that there. was no door, there was precious lit- tle furniture. Some of the Loyalists brought with them from their form- er homes a few pee a grandfa- ther's chair, a cheM of drawers, or a favorite bedstead; but, as a rule, there was no furniture but such as was hewed out with a pocket-knive. | A pocket-knife and a pen-knife were | mot the same.
