On the way they met a horse team, which was going so fast the oxen had to go off the track, and the road being very narrow, one of the oxen fell into a deep hole. The man with the horse team drove on, and never looked behind, him. The boy had the presence of mind to un- yoke the oxen and then ran and called lustily to the two men ahead, who came, and in their exertions to extricate the ox, one of them fell in along with the animal, up to the neck in water, and mad. As they were, not far from a saw mill, the boy ran and got a fresh supply of men to get out the man and the ox. When he and. they arrived, one of the men was so zealous in. his efforts that he shared. the same fate as the man and the ox, failing into the slough with them. The two in the mud then got a hold of the ox, and with the aid of those on dry land placed him on terra firma once more. Then the two men,, having been helped out, made the best of their way home threatening vengeance on the per- son who drove the horse team, and say- ing they would never give that man any more than half the road. in futhre.--Com.
