On Day Mr, Crlmihaw Came Out In
the Field to See My Uncle,
walked uwuy to the ahude of a tree
while the hired mnii nnd I went ou
with the hoeing. I could hear the
hariih voice of the money-lender
peaking In loud and angry tone and
presently he went awny.
"Wliat'a the rlpT' I asked a my
uncle returned looking very sober.
"We won't talk aliout it now," be
answered.
In the candle-light of the evening
I'ncle I'enbody anld:
"(irlni'-hnw hua demanded hi mort
gage money an' he want It In gold

I diuino how,"
"W'y of all things!" my aunt ex
claimed. "How are we goln' to git

"Well, I enn't tell ye," wild Uncle
Peubody. "I guesa he can't forgive

"What did he yr I asked. ,
"Why, he Buy we nadu't no bual

say you an' me ought to do all the
work here. He thinks I ought to took
you out o' achool long ago."
"I cun sluy out o' school und keep
on with my lessons," 1 wild.
"Not an' please him. He wa mad
when he see ye with a book In J'tT
bund out llicre in the corn-field."
What were we to do now? I apent
(he first Bad night of my life undoing
the plmis which hnd been so deur to
me but not bo deur a my aunt and
uncle. I decided to give alL-my life
und strength to the saving of the
fnrm. I would still try to be greut,
but not us greut as the Seuntor.
due day In December of Unit year,
t hnd my Ami trial In the full respon
sibility of Hum's work. I was allowcl
to load and hurtles and hitch up and
go In Hie mill without assistance. My
uncle und Purvis, our hired mini, were
busy with Uie chopping ami we were
out of flour and meal. It took a lot
of them lo keep the axes going, So
I filled two sucks with corn and two
with wlicut and put them Into the
box wagon, fur the grouud was bnro,
und hitched up my horses and set out.
I reached the mill safely and be
fore the grain wus ground the earth
and the sky above were white with
snow driving down in a cold, stiff
wind out of the northwest. I loaded
my grists and covered them with a
blanket and hurried away. The snow
came so fast that It almost blinded
nie. There were times when I could
scarcely see the road or the horses.
The wind came colder nnd soon It
wns hard work to hold the reins and
keep my hands from freezing.
Suddenly the wheels began jumping
over rocks. The horses were In the
ditch. I knew what wns the matter,
for my eyes hnd been filling with snow
nnd 1 hnd had to brush them often. Of
course the team had suffered In a like
manner. Before I could stop I heard
the crack of a felly and a front wheel
dropped to Its hub. I checked the
horses and jumped out and went to
their heads and cleared their eyes. The
snow wns up to my knees then.
How the thought of that broken
wheel smote mel It was our only
heavy wagon, and we having to pay
the mortgage! Whut would my uucle
say? The query brought tears to my
eyes, . "
I unhitched and led my horses up
Into the cover of the pines. How grate
ful It seemed, for the wind wus Bluol;
below but howling In the treetopsl I
knew that I wns four miles from home
nnd knew not how I was to get there.
Chilled to the bone, I gathered some
pitch pine and soon hnd a fire going
with my flint and tinder. I'knew thnt
I could mount one of the horses and
lend the other and reach home prob
ably. But there was the grist. We
needed that; I knew that we should
have to go hungry without the grist.
It would get wet from above nnd be
low If I tried to carry It on the buck
of a horse. I warmed myself by the
fire and hitched my team near It so ns
to thaw the frost out of their forelocks
and eyebrows. I felt In my coat pock
ets and found a handful of nails
everybody carried nails In one pocket
In those days and I remember thnt
1 m.v uncle's pockets were a museum of
The Idea ornirred to ui" thnt I would
mike a kind of ll which wa called
a Jnmer.
H I got my ax out of the wagon
and aiHiH found a couple of atiiall tree
With I he right crook for the forwnrd
end of runner, and rut litem and
hewed their bottom aa amoothly a
I could. Then I made notches In Ihein
near the top of ihclr crwika and (Hied
a "tout atlek Into the notches and e
rurcil wild nan, drlveo by the HI
head, TIiiik I gol a bold for my evem-r.
Thnt done, I rhoipetl and hewed an
arch to croaa the middle of the run
ners und hold i hem apart and used
all my null lo secure und brace It.
I got the two board which were fiia-tcni-d
together and consllliiliil my
kkiiu nil! and laid Iheni over the
arch and front brace. How to muke
tin-ill fust wus my wont problem. J
aucci.eded in splitting a green lk
to hold the bolt of the evener lust un
der Ha hind w hile I healed lt lower
end In the Are and kept Its head cool
with anow, Wllh (hit I burnt a bole
In the end of euch board and fastened
them to the front brace with withe of
IIIOOM- IHIll.
It wa late In the day and there wa
no time for the alow process of burn
ing more bole, no I uuiclicd the other
end of the boards and lushed them to
the reur brace with a length of my
reins. Then I releiiipered my holt und
brought up the gilst and ihiilu and
fastened the hitter between the bonnla
In the middle of the front brace,
hilcltcd my team to the chain and set
out ngnlu, sitting on the bugs.
It wus pilch dark and the horses
wading lo their belllea uud Ihe snow
coming f lister hu we turned Into
Ittiitli'roiid. Soon I heard a louU h:.l-
loo und knew that It was the voice of
Cucle l'eubody. He bad sturtej out
to meet me lu the storm uud hilt ivu
with liliu.
"Tliunk Cod I've found ye!" he
shotted. "I'm blind and tired out and
I coildn't keep a lantern gojn' lo save
me. Are ye froze?"
I'm j'l right, but these horses are
awful Hred. Had to let 'etn rent every
few minutes.
1 told him about the wagon and
how It relieved me lo hear him suy :
As long as you re all rltjht, boy, I
ain't goln' to worry 'bout the ol1 wug
oii not a- bit. Where'd ye git yer
Juiuperr
"Mmle It with the ax and some
uulls," 1 answered.
After we got to the burn door at last
he went io the house nnd lighted his
lantern and tame back wllh It wruppeu
lu a bluuket and Aunt DeeJ cunie with
Win.
How proud It wade me to hear him
siiv: .
"peel, out boy la a man now made
this Junior all lone by himself an
ha got through all right."
Hhe rum and held the lantern op
to my fine and looked at my finnds,
: "Well, my star, linrt!" she ex
claimed l'i a moment. "1 thought ye
would fr"ine up solid aye poor

We curried Ihe grist In and Aunt
Peel made some pudding. How good
It waa lo feel the wanulh of Ihe lire

t'licle l'eubody went out to look at
the horses.
When I awoke In the morning T ob
served Hint t'nele reabody' bed had
not been slept In. I hurried down and
heard that our off horse had died In
the night of colic. Aunt Peel wa cry

"Balance yer partners!" he shouted.
"You an' I ain't goln' to be discouraged

"Never," I answered.
"That's the talk I If nec'sary we'll
hitch I'urvla up with t'other boss an'

He uud I'urvls roared with laughter
and the strength of the current swept
me along with them.

Compare Our Fixtures with Others
There' a big difference in the "futures" you get at tlie
pricet asked for different silos.
Compare fixtures when you buy a silo. It is the fix
turet that make a silo. Durability, security and liability
ate determined by the anchorage, the size, quality and
number of cables, hoops, lugs and staples. Convenience
and ease of getting at your silage for use are determined
by the door and ladder construction.
Many tilot are priced without hinged doors 01 ladJcr.
In other .words, you pay at "extras" for neceiiary con
veniences without which your silo is incomplete.
Notwithstanding our lower price, we include more and
better futures than many who ask more for their silos. 1
In some cases we supply more of a given item than
otheis, as in anchorage cable. In others, our fixture
are stronger or better in whatever vital point deter
mines their value
Keep this ad and check our futures as described above,1
with those offcied by other silos. Don't pay more and get
less, or buyjialf a silo when you can get a complete one.
