THE INDEPENDENT.
BLOWN AWAT.
There were three of tLemKittr, Mary,
and little Tommy the children of the
station-mauler at Black River Junction,
cn the Great Southwestern Railroad
iiie station stood alone on the open
prairie, miles and miles from anywhere
in particular. Black river flowed
through the mountains, a hundred miles
n way to the north; and on sunny days,
the snowy mountains could be seen
glimmering on the grassy horizon.
The line leading to the Black river
met the Southwestern here, and thus it
was tlio place was called Black Kivcr
Junction.
The Btatiou-master and his wife and
three children lived iu the little depot
quite happy, hut there was not an
other family within ten miles in any di
rection. At times the children thought it rather
lonely. There was nothing in particular
to be dono except to watch the trains
that stopped at the Junction several
times a day. Once in a while, a freight
car would be left on the side track, and
the children soon found that an empty
freight car makes a capital play house.
They could keep bouse in the corners
and make visit, or sit by the open door
and make believe they were having a
ride.
One morning they were awakened by
a curions humming sound out of doors,
and they all scrambled up and looked
out of the window. How the wind did
blow! It whistled and roared round the
house and played on the telegraph wires
upon the roof "as upon a hnge harp. As
the wires were fastened to the roof, the
house became a great musie box, with
the children inside. After breakfast the
. rooming trains arrived, but the wind was
so high that the passengers were glad to
hurry from one train to another as quick
ly as possible. Then the trains went
away, and tho great wind harp on the
roof sang loader than ever.
The station-master said it blew a gale,
and that tho children must stay in the
house, lest they be blown away into the
prairie and be Dost. The station-master's
wife said it was a pity the children must
stay in the house all day. There was an
empty freight car upon the side track ;
perhaps they might play in that, lhe
station-master thought this a good idea,
and he took Kitty by the hand and Tom
my in his arms, while Mary took hold of
his coat, and they all went out into
the empty car. Whew! How it did
Mow ! They certainly thought that they
would bo lifted up by the wind and
blown quite into the sky. The empty
car was warm and snug, and, once in
side, they were quite out of the way of
the wind.
Mary thought the rear end would be a
good place to keep house, but Tommy
preferred the other end, so they agreed
to keep house at both ends of the empty
car. This was a nice plan, as it gave
them a chance to visit each other, and the
open part by the door made a grand
promenade to walk on.
Louder and louder roared tho gale.
Safe and snug in the car, they went on
with, their play and thought nothing of
the weather outside.
Suddenly the car seemed to shake, and
they stopped in their housekeeping and
ran to the door to see what had hap
pened. "Why, it's moving! Somebody's push
ing it," said Mary.
"They are taking us away on the freight
train. Come, we most get out."
"I didn't hear the whistle," said Tom
my. "I guess something is pushing the
ar." ; , -.-
The girls leaned out of the door to see
what had happened. Why, where was
tho platform ? What was the matter
with the station ? It was moving away.
No, it was the car. It had left the siding
and had rolled upon the main line and
was moving faster and faster along the
road.
"Oh, we must 'get outl ; They are
taking ns away!"
"No, no," said Kiity. "We must stay
here till the brakesman comes round. I
didn't hear them when they took us on
"- the train."
"There isn't any train," said Tommy,
ioo&ing up and down the line.
"Oh, its the wind! It's blowing the
'caNaway. We must put on the brakes
and stew it.
This was a good plan, but how were
they to carry it out ? The break wheel
was on top of the car, and they were in
side. 1 aster and faster rolled the car,
It began to rattle and roar as if dragged
along by a swift engine. In a moment,
Tommy began to cry. Mary tried to
look brave, and Kitty stared hard at the
level prairie flying post. It was of no
use. They all broke down together and
had a hearty cry alone in the empty car
as it rolled on and on before tne gaie.
The station-master's wife rolled up her
sleeves and put the house in order while
the children were safely out ot the way.
The station-master, feeling sure the chil
dren were safe m tho freight car, sat in
his office nearly all the morning. At
last, the beds were made, the dinner put
on the fire, and the mother wondered
. how the girls were getting on in their
play-house on the track. She threw a
hawl over her head and went out on the
platform. At once, the wind blew the
shawl over her face, and she could not
see exactly where "sho stood. Turning
Jier back to the wind she began to call
' tho children. How loudly the wind
roared through the telegraph wires!
Perhaps they could not hear in all this
din. May be they were inside the car
out of hearing, fciho waited along to
ward the siding. Not a thing to be
seen! . She wondered if there had not
been a mistake? Perhaps the car was
on the other side track? no, the rails
were unoccupied as fur as she could see
in every direction, what did it mean ?
What had happened? She staggered
back into the station and startled her
husband with a cry of despair.
"The car! The children!"
The station-master ran out upon the
platform and looked up and down the
line. Not a car in sight! It hod been
blown away before the terrible wind,
and was perhaps at this instant rolling
swiftly onward with its precious load to
destruction. What would happen to it?
Would it meet a train or ran into a sta
tion ? "Would the children try to get
out, or would they stay in the car till it
wan wrecked ?
He sprang to the door of the depot to
telegraph the terrible news down the
line, but just as he opened the door he
saw a faint white cloud on the western
horizon. It was a train. Help was
coming. At the same instant his wife
appeared with new grief and terror in
her eves.
"I cannot get a call in either direc
tion. The wires are blown down." .
This onlv added to the danger, for
there was now no means of sending word
in advance of the runaway car. It must
go on to its fate without help or warning.
"Help is coming, mother. Heres a
train bound east."
Nearer and nearer come the train, and
the father and mother stood Watching it
as it crept along the rails. It seemed as
if it would never come. At last, it
reached the platform and proved to be a
passenger train bound up the liiack
3 liver lioad and not intended to go in
the direction in which the car had been
1lown away. The instant it stopped, the
titation-master ran to the engineer and
told his terrible story. The mother,
with quicker wit, found the conductor
and demanded that the engine be taken
off and sent after the children.
Tho conductor was a man of regular
liabita, and such a bold request struck
iim as something extraordinary. Take
the engine off, and leave the train and
passengers waiting at this lonely station?
Tho idea was preposterous 1 Some of the
jan3engers gathered near and asked what
was the matter.
Three c'aildren lost, blown away in an
rmpty car. Some one said: "Yes, goat
tmce. We can wait till the engine re
turns." The conductor said lie must
telegraph for instructions; but some one
f aid the wires are down," and the people
r.nly cried out the more, "Let the engine
po't" so the mother ran to the tender and
began to pull out the pin, that the engine
might start. , . ' v -4
"Hold on, marm," said a brakeman.
"Ill cast her off. Yon jump aboard if
you want to go, too. Fire up, Jack, and
make her hum."
It was all done in ft moment, and away
flew the engine, leaving the conductor
and the station-master staring in surprise
at this singular proceeding. The station
master did not feel very happy. He had
half intended to go with the engine, but
it would never do to leave his post.
"Fire steady, Jack," said the engineer
to the fireman. "It's no use to get ex
cited, for we're in for a long race."
"It's enough to make a fellow excited,
to see that woman," said the fireman. - ,.
The engineer turned round, and there
by his side stood the mother, her eyes
straining ahead down the line in search
of the missing ones.
"Oh, sir! open the throttle wide. Don t
try to save coal at such a time as this."
'"We must keop cool, marm, and go
steady, or we shall run out of coal and
water and come to a stand-still on the
line."
The woman said not a word, but nod
ded mournfully and leaned against the
side of the cab for support, and then the
fireman gave her his seat, where she
could look out ahead over the line. How
the engine shook and roared 1 The little
fangers of the steam-gauge trembled and
rose higher and higher as the steam pres
sure increased over the raging fire. The
engine seemed to be eating up the track
in front, and behind the track spun out
like shining ribbons in the sun. The
station and train had already sunk down
out of sight, and the grassy horizon on
either side seemed to fly away in a kind
of gigantic waltz. The wind died away
to a dead calm, and in a few moments a
little breeze sprang np and blew in at .the
front windows. ,
"We are beating the wind," said the
engineer. "If we can keep this pace np
we shall Boon overtake them."
"How long have they been gone?"
shouted the fireman above the roar of the
engine. ,
"I don't know," screamed the woman,
without taking her eves from the hon
zon, where the rails met the sky. "It
may have been two hours or more. They
were playing in the empty car.
"How did she get out of the siding?"
(He meant the car) .
"Its one of the new switches," said the
engineer.: "Cars can easily jump out
npon the main line."
Ah! something ahead. Was it the
runaway car! No, the next station,
What a terrible pace! Twenty miles al
readvl .
'' "Oh, dont stop! " cried the woman, as
she saw the engineer put his hand on the
throttle-valve.
" I must, madam. We aro getting out
of water, and perhaps we can learn
something of the runaway."
The sudden arrival of a solitary engine,
containing two men and a woman, start
led the station-master, and he came out
to see what it meant. He seemed to
guess at the truth, for he said;
"After the runaway car ?"
"Yes, yes. There were three children
inside." '
"Oh, marm, I'm sorry for ye. It went
past here, going twenty miles an hour.
It came down-grade alt the way, but the
up-grade begins about two-miles out. I
was inside when it passed, and didn't see
it till it had gone past the door."
How long it took to fill the tender!
The engine stood hot and smoking by
the water-tank, and the water came out
in a slender stream, while the poor
mother stood looking, tearful and im
patient. "Good-by! I'll put up the pipe.
Heaven help ye! the up-grade
The rest was lost, for the engine shot
ahead, on and on out over the prairie.
The water-tank seemed to sink down into
the earth, and the shining rails stretched
longer and longer out behind.
Ah? What was that? A cloud of steam
on the horizon far ahead. The engineer
took out his time-book and studied it
carefully. j
"Freight No. 6, bound west, stopping
on the two-mile siding
How swiftly Freight No. 6 rose from
the grass and grew big along the way ?
Listen! A whistle. The engineer whis
tled in reply and shut off steam. Their
engine quickly slowed down, and they
could see men leaning out from the other
engine, as if to speak to them. i
" It s ten minutes back. Running slow
on main-line road clear "
"Thank Ueavenl said the woman
The engineer said nothing; but at that
instant the engine gave a great leap and
shot ahead at the rate of fifty miles an
hour, up the easy grade. How long the
minutes seemed, and yet each meant al
most a mile I - -I ;
Ah ! A speck a black dot on the hori
zon! The car? Yes. It was the car. It
grew bigger and bigger. Now they could
see it plainly. Bnt the cluldren? Where
were they? The fireman sprang out
through the forward window and ran
along the engine and down npon the
cow-catcher. The monster began to
slacken its terrible pace, and in a mo
ment it struck the car with a gentle jar
and stooped.
The fireman thought himself a lively
man, but the woman was before ium and
sprang np into the ca.
There they lay, safe and sound, in the
corner of the car Mary and Tommy fast
asleep, and Kitty watching over them,
"Oh, mother! I knew von would eome.
Mary and Tommy cried themselves to
sleep, and I I
Nobody could say a word. The fire'
man tried to rub nis eyes, and only
marked his face with black streaks. ; The
mother laughed and cried all at once,
The engineer picked up the little ones
and quietly took them into the cab of the
engine.
There now. my hearties, you have
hod a risky ride; but it's all right! Come!

"Aye, aye, sir," said Jack. Cliarlea

Dr. Nichols, editor of the Journal of
ftmmerce. in relation to excessively thick
Diamine of fodder corn, says : "It is, un
der ordinary conditions, advisable and
advantageous to plant corn for fodder in
drills, with at least 20 inches space be
tween, so that air and sunlight can bave
free access to the growing plants ; but it is
not good husbandry to sow thickly broad

and upon access of air. Any plant de-
pmed of these agencies in its eruwm is
unsuitable for the food of animals." Ab
stractly this is true ; but practically it has
been found best that any fodder crop can
be sown thick, since, when grown thin,
the stalks become woody and unpalatable.

The grassy street we entered was
siicDt. No person was visible; thero
was no sign of life in the plain gaunt
buildings on either side. ' These
buildings, of the architecture of New
England barns, but painted white
and pierced with windows, made no
offer of hospitality. One on the
right appeared to be a salesroom
and a storehouse. Next was the
great meeting house a tabernacle
of simplicity, with a hooded door
way, opposite were workshops, and
there wero other buildings of which
wo could not divine tho use; but at
the end of the campus rose the high'
roofed dwelling house called "The
Home," ornamented with the only
vanity of tho premises a low steeple
containing u bell. Why was the
bell on the dwelling house instead of
on tho meeting house ? If wo could
ring it, would there be any Hie
evoked? 1 '
The great buildings stared at ns
with closed doors and windows. For
any evidence of humanity we might
as well have been in Ponipoii. Had
some sudden calamity swept away
the community, or was it, perhaps,
the hour of meditation? Wo waited,
we watched, we listened. The si
lence was profound. It was after
noon, and all the place was flooded
with sunlight. Summer had not yet
come, but there was premonition of
it in the soil grey sky flecked with
blue the veritable color of Ctcsar's
eyes and in the wandering wind
that movod the low grass gently and
had in it yet a little shiver of spring.
It was a day when the south side of
a friendly barn, where the hens are
burrowing in "the warm soil, is the
most comfortable place in tho world.
Had we come this long way mere
ly to see a reed shaken in the wind ?
Nay, we had come to seo a Shaker,
and behold, no Shaker, not even the
least that is was seen. It occurred
to us to return to what appeared to
be tho "store" and seek information.
It was closed fast like the other
houses, as if no customers were do-
sired, and it was oniy after persistent
knocking that the door opened part
way and gave to our view the vision
of a thin, tall, angular female, in
scant, plain skirts, whose severe face
was neither an invitation to the
monastic life nor a promise of in
formation. We wero put in the posi
tion of intruders upon something
holy and unattractive. But what
right bad we, children stained with
the world, to expect civility and an
angelic face in a person set to guard
the portals of celibacy and non-resistance,
a woman who for fifty years
bad been hardening into the attitude
of setting her laco against the world?
Words wero not wasted on us. Could
wo enter the house ?
"JSiay."
And we felt that we were not
worthy to do so- Could we have tho
key to the meeting house ?
"Nay."
And the refusal seemed just. Could
we go into any ot the houses?
"Nay."
The door was now only a crack
open. Could wo see anybody?
"Find the Elder!"
And the door shut, decidedly.
Even a Sweet virgin may get sour by
standing too long.
The advice to find the Elder was
good, but Elders were as scarce as

inlnul Food.
The flesh food that civilized people
consume, is- either vegetable, or meat
derived from vegetable feeders. The
principal meats are beef, mutton, veal,
lamb, domestic fowl and game. The
nutritive value of each kind of meat de
pends on age, mode of life, nature of
feeding, mode of death and npon the
peculiar character of each kind of flesh.
The flesh of the young is more tender
than that of the old, bnt it is less easily
digested, veal and lamb are harder pf
digestion than that of beef and mutton.
The flesh of the young is more gelatin
ous, less stimulated and less nutritions
than that of the old, which contains
more fibrine aud osmasome, or the flavor'
ing principle. The flesh of very young
animals, as calves of ten days old is soft,
flat and insipid. Experience shows that
cattle of middle age yield the best na
vorod beef, and more nutritions and
more easily digested than that of young
animals. Sex influences the quality of
the nesh that of the female is more
finely grained and delicate than that of
the male.
It is a matter of common observation,
that most animals are in a better state
for the consumption of the human fam
ily, in some seasons than in others. Or
dinarily, it is in its best condition in the
late autumnal and early winter months,
simply because animals usually have a
largo supply of fresh summer and an
tumnal food. Mutton and beef are al
ways good, but still are more succulent
and juicy during summer, autumn and
earlv winter. The. venison of the male
deer is in its lest condition from June to
September. That of the doe in that
winter. The expression "in season and
out of season" applied to animals is full
of meaning, and indicates, among other
things, that the flesh of animals is in a
better, healthier state for human food at
some seasons than at others, ihe mode
of life has an influence npon the flesh of
animals. Those that lead a wild and
active life are less fat than those who are
lazy and well fed. The flesh of the wild
has a higher color than that of the tame,
ami is decidedly gamy.
The food animals consume modifies
the character of their flesh. Turnips
yield a peculiar flavor to mutton. The
flavor of mutton from sheep who have
lived npon the highland, is different
from that of sheep who have obtained
their food chiefly from the lowlanr's
The garlic of the meadows and some fra
grant herbs modify the flavor of the
meat Oily food tends to make the fat
soft. Hens partly fed on scraps of de
caying meat, yield eggs that are at once
unpleasant to the taste and nnneoithy,
r eeding animals tor human lood, is,
then of great importance and demands
experience. It is not enough that food
makes fat it should also impart an
agreeable flavor.
The mode of death, in its effects upon
the flesh, is well illustrated by the faot
that violent exercise just previous to
death, increases its tenderness. The
flesh of the hunted animals is well
known for its tenderness. Slaughtering
animals by bleeding then involves a
waste of nutritive material, but it ren
dent their nosh more pleasant to the eye
and more delicate to the taste. It ren
ders their meat whiter, better flavored.
and susceptible of keeping for a consid
erable length of time without tainting.
The Jews of the "present day are wise,
and will not eat the nesn of any animal
that has not been slaughtered in har
mony with their ancient laws, and by
one of their own order ot faith and prac
tice.
Meat is more or less improved by al
lowing it to bang in cool temperatures
some days after the creature has re
tired from life. The analyses of meat
greatly vary. The relative amount of
lean and fat depends upon the many cir
cumstances to which we have just referred
and to the amount of exercise the animal
may take to the temperature in which it
lives, and the purity of the air it may in
hale and absorb. The general character
istic of special meat should be known.
Beef has a firmer texture, is more satis
lying to the stomach, . and possesses
greater strengthening power than mut-
: ton, but mutton is more easy of diges
tion, and still a few persons may be
found who cannot digest it. It induces
violent vomiting and diarrhoea in some.
Yeal and lamb, though tender, yet resist
iue digestive iorco oi some stomoens,
and yield less strength than beef; so
they should not be given to children
with weak stomachs.
Pork is the most difficult of all meats
to digest. Smoked meats are much less
digestible than fresh. With loan moats,
as veal, chicken, rabbit, or with food
rich in plaster material, as eggs, beans
and peas, give the proper supply of
plaster and heat making materials. Yen
ison is lean and savory; it is one of the
most digestible of meats.
The relative amount of bone m am
Dials varies with their condition. Twenty
per cent, of the entire animal may be a
fair average. In the neck and brisket of
beef it is 10 per cent. In the shins and
legs, an overage may be 50 per cent, of
us loiai weigpi.
Birds of various sorts are nutritions.
Some wild birds, as the pheasant feed on
the buds of the laurel, or as the
partridge on the same become poisonous.
Tho flesh of birds differ from that of
mammals, in that it is not marbled, or
its fibres are not mixed with fat. - The
flesh of different birds varies in its color
ing, from white to dark. The wings and
breast are drier, whiter, and more deli
cate in taste than legs, bnt the latter are
higher flavored. The color varies in
different parts of the same birds. In the
blaok cock the outer layer of the breast
is brown, while the inner layer is white,
The fowl, tnrxey and guinea-fowl
amongst poultry have white flesh, that is
tender, deuoate and easy of digestion
is more stimulating than ordinary meat.
and so is fit for the weak stomach of
every human life, and those persons who
are in a state of convalescence. The flesh
of the goose and duck is richer, harder,
stronger-tasted, and difficult of digestion
for early life and dyspeptics. The fat
tening of poultry, their tenderness and
flavor depend npon the quality of the
food they eat. and the quietness of their
lives. -Tame birds need pure water, nu
tritious food and rest. Sexless birds
grow to a larger size, fatten better, are
more tender, and better flavored than

The flesh of game contains but a small
amount of fat. It is usually tender and
easily digested, has a delicate flavor that
is much increased by keeping. Each
kind of bird has its peculiar flavor. That
oi tne partridge, quail, snipe and wood?
pock- are delicate. The latter two are
richer than the former. Game birds
tempt tho appetite of the invalid.
Its tenderness and digestibility fits it
for the stomach of invalids and of early
mo, vvuu Dims, sucn as tne ouail and
robin are particularly valuable for the
nourishment of the sick. The breast be
ing the preferable parts. Pigeons and
otner smaller birds nave nesn with a
tenderness depending npon the creature's
size and age. The flesh of the bare and
rabbit somewhat resembles poultry and
game.. The flesh of the hare is more
savory and stimulating than that of the
rabbit The latter is more tender and
its fibres are close and so less digestible
than some other kinds of animal food,

TJw aiso Dowot or Foirrrsft The apt
and downs of New York politics are well
illustrated in the case of De Witt C. Lit
tlejohn, a brother to- Bishop Littlejohr.
At the opening of the war, when the Re
publican party had things all its own way
at Albany, Eittlejoha was Tburlow Weed's
Speaker of the State Assembly and ft man
of mark generally, r A good deal was 'go
ing on" in those days, and a good many
men made money around the Legislature.
De Witt C. Littlejohn prospered with the
rest, and in time he went to Congress
and continued for ten years a power
in the politics of ' northern; JJew
York. But for his personal career Little
john made two tinfortunato investment.
fie became a Liberal Republican ami
started the Oswego Midland lUiilrOad
He failed both in politics and the railroad
uttlejohn lost his political impjrUrit-e
and his property at the same tiube, bud
became a man of small account in State
affairs, the heavy losses of towns along
the Hue of the Midland making him ex
tremely unpopular. In Ins projerotiH
ilays, however, a man who owned lund at
Kockaway beach, and who wanted to
"interest" a powerful politician in la new
route to the beaeh. conveyed 200 afresi to
Littlejohn. It was nearly worthies then,
but the other day Littlejohn sold 14(1
acres for $30,000, and the rest has yielded
nun in leases SlTj.OOO more. Tho ex
Speaker is on his luet again.
Among the pretty things in French
jewelry the new shapes for ladies' pinp
are specially noticeable. These are lit
tle fans of silver or silver gilt, with the
tops ot enamel ; on them are painted lit
tle Japanese figures or wreaths of flow

fan are set with turquoises, and there are
little tassels of gold or silver pendant to
tnem.
lor a Ions timo there has been a feud
between Alex. H. Stephens and Senator
Ben Hill, the celebrated Georgian. Be
fore the war the result of personalities on
tne stump led to tne sending of a chal
lenge by Mr. Stephens, but Hill declined
to resort to mortal combat A few days
ago a mutual friend in Washington
brought the two together and they shook
nanus.
Ike I attest Tblna- In Seir-BindlBg; liar

The constant liability of the rain to
pour down upon our harvest fields at any
time has led many farmers to desire a
harvester which will more expeditiously
handle the grain than any which has
been heretofore obtainable. For the last
tarn vnra. Mr. V. O. S.-omrina nf Wauh.
; j j - nn i - ' i .
ington county, Oregon, has been anxiousM'
to obtain a self-binding harvester which
would cut and bind a swath ten feet in
width, and to that end has been negotia
ting with Messrs. Newburv, Chapman &
Co. for such a machine. These eentle
men, in connection with Mr. Avres. man
ager of the San Francisco house of Os
borne & Co., undertook to supply Mr,
Scogein with such a self-binder aud har
vester as he desired, and they have met
wun tne most aonndant success, as his
letter in anotner column will Indicate.
The machine has been put in the field.
and operated several days to the entire
satisfaction of the purchaser and a large
numDer or persons wno witnessed its
operations. This is the first and onlv
ten-root self-binding harvester now known
in the world, and Messrs. Newbury, Chap
man & Co. are deserving of great credit
for their energy and success in this un
dertaking. It . is something to be proud
of to introduce a machine which cannot
fait to work a revolution iu the manner of
harvesting the great gram fields of Oregon
and Washington Territory. This machine
has a greater capm.-lty than a ten-foot
header, and is destined to supercede the
headers even where thev have been
deemed indispenslble. as ft takes a less
number or horses and cuts more per dav
tnan tne best ten-toot header. We ad'
vise farmers and all parties interested to
read the testimonial of the purchaser. W.
u. feeoggin, winca win re round in an
other column, and call on Newbury.
Chapman & uo. ir any further lulorma'
tion is desired.
HeiiKinthology, Of late years no de
partment of natural history has attract
ed more attention than that of the study
of internalparasites in man and other
animals. To the great multitude and
variety of creatures thus found, associat
ed by one common habit of life, have
zoologists given the general name of Hel
minths, which are a peculiar fauna des
tined at some time in their lives to occu
py an equally peculiar territory. That
territory is the wide-spread domain of
the interior of living animal bodies to
which, alas, poor humanity forms no ex
ception. It is unpleasant to think that
we may at any time become a prey to these
dangerous and mischievous depredators.
we were leaa to these reflections by a
recent visit to Dr. Van Denberg's office,
wnen he had lust completed the expul
sion of 670 worms from Mr. Lehman.
who stated that he had suffered for 12
years. They were all small, about one
and a half inches in length, excepting
onea nondescript about three inches
long, an attrocious rascal of forbidding
appearance, ut. van uenoerg is tne
great worm exterminator of the century.
