By the time all good campers were in bed this glow had faded again and glowing white clouds had armed in a great circle from East to West across the sky. A second fook enâ€" vinced such privileged characters as were still roaming in the night, that these were no ordinary clouds by a marvelous demonstration of what is called the "Aurora Borealis," or more commonly known as the "Northern Lights." Not one of those gathered on the dock, out in boats, or high on the hill back of camp had ever witâ€" nessed such a demonstration. Bright with streaks and white patches sifted and played across the sky in all forms and shapes imaginable. There was 4 lull in this display as the shimmerâ€" ering clouds faded overhead and the northwest sky took on a greenish hue, Bright patches then opened far in the north andâ€"rose radiating from a black jagged curtain stretching from North to Northeast. These streaks changed rapidly with waves of pale green and orange light. A demonâ€" stration such as this must be seen In addition to the $10,000 in jewels stolen from the A. A.
