at night with a high, tight fence. All
day he labored and wbea evening ap
proached It waa almost, but not quite,

' The farmer was fagged, twilight
waa approaching and Instead of Bail
ing op the remaining boards he Jnr
in the aheep and decided to take a
chance, la the morning he discovered
the ravages caueed in the flock' by the
enemy marauders; the fence be bad
built for protection waa no protection,
because when twilight came be failed
