This is About a week later, however, my friend was out back of the house, and, happening to glance up, he saw a large red squirrel on the roof. He watched the squirred and saw him enter a small hole in the finish under the eaves. In a few moments the squirrel came out with a butternut in his mouth. My friend now believed that he knew who was taking his butternuts, 80 he decided to follow the squirrel and learn where they were hidden. This was not very difficult to do be cause the squirrel came to the ground, about two hundred yards from the 'house, and entered a hollow log. He reappeared in a short time and scam- pered off, doubtless for another nut. While he was gone, my friend ex- amined the log and by cutting a few holes in it discovered that it was nearly full of butternuts.

Beautiful snow, from the heavens above, Pure as an angel and fickle as love! | Oh! the snow, the beautiful snow! !
