PART 1. • "What is it ?" was the question of nearly every one whom we met on the road. If they did not speak it, they looked it. Some- times we heard one say to another, "What, for mercy's sake, is that thing, I wonder ?" Many supposed our vehicle carried a show orsome kind, and sometimes boys shouted: " Is it a boa -constrictor or a fat woman ?" To satisfy the general curiosity we soon nailed this sign over the door: A WAGON CAMP. "How far are ye travelling ?" then be- came the usual query of curious persons. So we added another board to the sign, and completed this inscription: A WAGON CAMP. ON A CRUISE TO THE ALkTNE LAKES, DIXVILLE NOTCH AND THE WRITE MOUNTAINS VII THE GLEN, MT. WASHINGTON', THE CRAWFORD NOTCH AND LOVELL PONT. ALL ABOARD! This was greeted by hand -clapping _from nearly all the tally -ho coaches that we -met among the White Mountains. While the bugler of the gay four -horsed or sixe_horeed equipage invariably discoursed lively straine that woke the hills to echoes, the other occupants ef the coach often pelted us ex- uberantly with euperfluous oranges and cookies from their lunch basket. " Posy" never failed to repay this sort of salute with interest, Posy is a base -ball pitcher, and tsnose coaching men caught a tarter when they assailed him, One, day when a party of seven jolly coachera had opened on us with orangee, Posy unmasked a battery of cold boiled potatoes that he had been saving for several days. Though disadvantaged by the pret- ence of two young ladies on the coach, whom Posy would not have cold-potatoed for the world, our champion's fire was not ineffective. He landed so cleverly on the orange -throwers that the ladies cheered him, whereat we took off our caps and "hoorayed" for them as their driver rattled away out of range. More serious adventures befell us on this trip, but the relating of them can wait till I tell how and why we set off with such a rig. The jaunt was not premeditated. When my classmate " Posy," or Hamilton C. Posen, and I went to spend the summer at his uncle I3icknell's place in Cumberland County, Maine, we expected to have no more fun than we eould get about the farm, berrying, flailing in the trout -brooks, riding about with "Cousin Sam," or in helping occasionally with the farm work. But the idea of loafing about • there for five or six weeks soon ceased to be attract- ive, and we longed for something new under the sun. We might have gone yachting, or touring in the mountains but for one thing -we hadn't the money! Our parents do not see fit to supply us with much main indeed, our school expenses are nearly as much as they feel able to pay on our ac- count, and we think twenty-five or thirty dollars apiece a liberal allowance for our vacatiens. How to make such a sum yield us the greatest amount of amusement is the pro- blem of our bolidaye. This wagon -camp was one of the solu- tions. To as it was an original device when Posy proposed it. "But,,"said 1, "It will cost twenty-five or thirty dollars to rig up a wagon -camp." "It won't cost five dollars," said Posy, in his emphatic manner. "It won't cost two," said Cousin Sam. In fact, it cost us adollar and fifty-eight (Ante ! It cost Uncle Henry Bicknell- nothing, though he lent us the one-horse hay cart on which we built the camp, as well as the old black farm horse that hauled it. These we returned in as good condition as they were when we borrowed them, except that the horse's appearrnce suffered, as will be related in due course. We paid nothing for the spruce edgings of which the camp part is built, for the owner of the neighboring saw -mill said he was glad to be rid of the stuff. At his place we ale° picked up some refuee boards and light joists of no market value. We bought nothing, in fact, but six pounds of wire nails. The cart -body consists of a \ frame and floor fourteen feet long by four wide. On this as a foundation we built the camp of the light, dry, thin spruce edgings with the bark side out. With much care we made the roof weather tight. Two panes of glass were set in the walls, and a light door was - hung at the rear, where a step was attach- ed. In front a wide, high driver's seat was ereeted, nearly on a level with the roof. In the forward end of the " camp " we placed te bed of boughs and blankets, and farther back three stools, a broad shelf - table and a little oil stove. Still there was room for a box of provisions, a beg of oats, and brackets for guile and fishing rods. In addition to the supplies which the Bicknells gave us at starting, we bought things from the country people. A bucket of milk and a pound of butter, with a loaf of bread, could be purchased cheaply at al - moat any farm -house. Our expenses were scarcely three dollars apiece per week. This is probably the cheapeet-White 1Wountaia driving tour on record; but we believe we had as much fun as the festive party who spent ten thousand dellara that eeaeon going over the same region in a tally -ho coach. Our rustic eellicle looked so heavy that people sometimes said, "That's too great is load for one horse !" But appearances were deceitful. Wheels, body, camp and all weighed but a few pounds over nine hun- dred. Our old black "Bill "was a heavy strong horse-. He made nothing of the load, and we adwr 'reed off at the hills. Wher J stopped for the night, Sam would I di him in eorne grassy place for two or .ree hours before giving him two quart t oats. Old Bill actually waxed fat durie the trip. We carried a blanket with .doich we covered the horse on wet nig 6 . A wagon -camp has some advantages over a tent. Its occupants sleep high above the damp ground; its roof is water -tight, and it obviates the labor of pitching and striking a tent at eaoh camping -place, and of packing up all the camp gear. We set off without experience in wagon - camping. We had our" road manners to learn. A wagon -camp has the same rights on the highway as any other vehicle; still, as its appearance is somewhat unusual, the owners should be particularly courteous to those whom they meet. On our first day out we met a man on a skittish horse. The animal shied at the national flag which we were flying from a short pole on our roof. Then the rider ad- dressed us in unparliamentary language aud even threatened us with personal violence. After we had asserted our right to fly the American flag, and had invited hVfn to "come-on," he most inconsistently went off, still. imprecating. On thinking the affair over, we concluded to haul down the flag thereafter when we saw apparently high-spirited horses ap- proaching. The patriotism that frightens a fellow -citizen's horse is rether too much of a good thing. During our first ,fay we traversed the towne of fla.rriston„ Norway and Greenwood, passed several small lakes, and camped for the night in the wild Shadagee district near an old saw -mill by a pond. where we caught enough pickerel for eupper. Mo.quitoee were numerous here, and a heavy shower of rain fell, so that we were cempelled to keep ciose in our cemp Children Cry fov 'Germ S " ru We have selected two or Croup. three lines from letters freshly received from pa- rents who have given German Syrup to their children in the emergencies , of Croup.

Old Bill, blanket- ed, was tied up to the wheel at about eight o'clock. We slept comfortably, and took the road again next morning at seven. For about three miles our route led along the foot of a wooded mountain, past two large ponds. We crossed the line of the Grand Trunk Railway at Look's Station, and from this place found a better read to the pretty village of Bethel, in the valley of the Androscoggin River, which we cross- ed by a long bridge. Thence the road lay down the west bank of the river, crossing first Sunday River, a small tributary of the Androscoggin, then Bear River, and turning northwesterly up the valley of this stream into the town of, Newry. On this hilly route we made our way slowly for three hours or more in view of Bear River White Cap, a lofty mountain to northward, till we came to "Screw Auger Falls." We camped -a little farther on, not far from a endow, water -worn excavation in the ledges, known locally as the "Jail." The river, hers little more than a brook, has worn deep, tortuous passages where the stream makes the twists and turns which make the name Screw Auger Falls seem highly appropriate. The high, craggy mountains; converge at this point, and reduce the valley to a gorge, called "Grafton Notch." It was a lovely place to camp; and the evening was delightful. As the unfenced land along the roadside appeared to be "common," we drew our wagon -camp to the top of a little cleared hill near the high- way, and made ourselves at home. Old Bill was hobbled out to feed; Posy went to fish below the falls; and Sam kindi- & little camp -fire. Coffee and toast were made, and potatoes baked. Posy caught two trout which weighed half a pound apiece, and which were so tooth- some that we longed tenderly for more. I had gone up the brook to fish among the falls but got nothing except a quart of fine raspberries above the " This is an irregular cavity in the rock, water -worn to a depth of about twenty feet in ages long past, and now much broken and fissured. After exploring it thoroughly I returned with my raspberries to camp. " Well now, fellows, isn't this glorious ?" cried Posey, lying back at full stretch on the dry ground of the knoll, in the fading twi- light. " Who would want to be cooped up at a hotel when one can travel like this and do just as he plea.es ?" No dew was falling. Not a breath of wind stirred the trees. The murmur of the brook through the ledges, and the guttural " peark " of nighthawks overhead were the only sounds that now disturbed the evening's quiet. There we had Lein talking and enjoying the freshness and peace for half an hour,w hen a low rumble came to our ears, though the sky was still clear. ee," They say this ii a tremendous place for thunder -showers' '" said Sam. " We may get a erv.cker here before morning -the day's been so hot." " Well, let it shower. It will be all the fresher to -morrow. We shall be all right in- side our camp," said Posey. "1 guess I'd better give Old Bill his oats before the storm comes on," said Sam. We were sitting by, listening to the old fellow as he munched them, when two youog men and a woman came along the toed be- low the knoll, talking very earnestly, not to say loudly. They stopped short when they diecerned the glow of our embers, and the lofty outline of our camp on the high ground. "Hullo there !" one called out. "Hullo !" replied Sam. " When did ye build that house up there?" the man demanded. "Some days ago," replied Posey. " It's a house on wheels." They went on and we supposed that they had gone their ways. But after a few min- utes one Of the men returned. "Ain't you a little cheeky to plank yer camp down here on land that don't belong to ye ?" said he in a quarrelsome tone. 'Cheeky," cried Posey. "No. We thought the land was common. At any rate we're doing no herrn, we shall go on in the morning." "You're trespassing, and I want ye to understand that ye can't plank yerselves down just where ye please on this place." " Well, what is it that you want ?" asked Posey. "1 want ye to settle for trespass," said the fellow. "He is trying te strike ut, for a little money," muttered Sam. "How much will it take to settle it ?" he asked aloud. "Couple of dollars -if ye pay withoue fur- ther trouble." "Now, look here, sir,"; eaid Posey. "Are you the owner of this land ?" "You'll find mitt about that before you are much older," exclaimed the feflovr, angrily. "A11 right," said Posey. " If we've done any damage we will settle for it with the proprietor. But we shan't pay you a ceet till we know more about yon." "1 guess you're beat,'" said Sam. " I don't believe you own any land here." "You'll soon find out who I am," said the fellow in a passion. You'll hear from me again before morning." "All right," returned Possy. "We're ready to hear all about you now. But I guess you wouldn't like to tell." As the man went away vaporing,we hard- ly knew what to think. " Maybe some chap who lives about here," said Sam. "But he's not the real proprietor or he would have said so. He thought that he could scare us into paying him two dollars." " Suppese he will corne back to -night ?" I queried. "1 don't believe he will," said "Money was all he was after." „ Pitcher's Castoria. Sam. ; Posey agreed to keep awake till eleven or 'twelve, in case the fellow should return to do us an injury, so SAM and 1 turned in. Shortly after eleven, Posey says, a thuoder- storm arose. I dimly remember being rous- ed from sleep for a moment by thunder and lightning. Posey then fastened Old Bill's rope halter fast inside the camp -wagon, came in out of the wet, and soon fell fast asleep himself. Two or three hours must have passed be- fore I yvaked, uith a sense that the camp was in motion. In trying to jump up from the bunk, I pitched heels over head into the rear end. The wagon was running violently down -hill. Saw shouted and came tumbling over me. Just then the cart veered around sideways, then started again. I could hear Old Bill snorting after it. Posey now tumbled against nie, and Sam yelled, "Whoa !" from some mistaken idea that the horse was the hauler ineteacrof the hauled, I triad to find thedoor to get out, but fell over the oil -stove, and plunged headlong among the camp -stools. Everything inside the camp appeared to be flying around my head; guns, fishing -rods, tinware, blankets, boughs, oat -bag and provision box, "Good gracious 1" Poaey cried. "Where are we going to ?" Next moment, with a jolt and a crash, the wagon -camp tipped down on Ono side, and came to a standstill. "We've got there !" exclaimed Posey. "Is anybody killed ?" None of us was injured; but it was some minutes before we could force open the door, which stuck fast in its light frame. We then got out to find day jut ImAldng ad our camp in the ditch beside the road at the foot of the knell, "Here's h pretty go," said Sam. "1 trigged those wheels carefully with two pieces of log the last thing before I got in the bunk." Our eyes now fell on Old Bill. His tail had been trimmed nearly bare of hair, and his mane was notched as with a hurrying pair of shears. The hair lay on the ground at the top of the kuoll. _ At firat we had been inclined to think the horse might have loosened the trigs from under the hind wheels, but we soon found that the pieces of log had been carried away and dropped half -way down the other side of the kuoll. Some evil -disposed person had played a trick on us. Presumably, it was the fellow who had tried to get money out of us the previous evening. It was perhaps as well 'that he did not come about again, for we were not in an amiable mood. The camp was racked out of shape; but the cart itself was not injured. It required an hour's work with hammer, nails and camp -axe to make ready to take the roltd again. " We've got something to learn from this experience," said Sam, after we had cooled down. "The correct thing to do is to get a chain and a padlock and lock our wheels to- gether at night. Then no rogue can send us kiting down hill again." "1 guees, boys," said Posey, "that an- other correct thing would be to get permis- sion of the owner when we camp on land outside the road limits. It will save trouble and it is only the square thiug to do." We purchased a bit of chain and an old padlock at a blacksmith's shop, during the forenoon, as we went on through- the town of Grafton toward Umbagog Lake; and thereafter Sam always locked the wheels to- gether at night. PART II. Looking northward from the top of Upton Hill, we saw the long, bright expanse of Umbagog Lake shortly before noon. Turn- ing away to the left toward Errol Dam, we stopped for two hours on the southwest shore of Umbagog to fish for pickerel, with frogs for bait. Posey had the luck, as usual, and caught five while Sam took two and I one. We camped that afternooa tinder a large maple about fifty rods from a farm house, to which Posey went for milk, bread, and per- mission to camp and kindle a fire. Here he was told of a trout brook four miles away. It was but two o'clock in the afternoon, and after a hasty lunch of bread and milk we sot off for the brook, leaving Old Bill hitched out to feed. When we reached the brook it was near five o'clock. We bad therefore but an hour or an hour and a half to fish, if we were to return through the woods before nightfall. Posey had dug up a little tin -can full of angle -worms in the farm -yard. With these we baited- our hooks and dropped them into the firet pool. In a moment Posey threw out is pretty trout of nearly half is pound weight. Sam and I hooked smaller ones im• mediately. There was good sport thereafter, and we went along the brook for is mile or more, from pool to pool. The banks were somewhat bushy, but it is a beautiful, clear, pebbly brook, indeed almost a small river. If Pcsey understood the farmer correctly, the name of it is the Mcllywickywock. When we compared our baskets after fiehing until half -past six,Poeey counted out 31 speckled trout, Sam 24 and I 18. None were large, but we had u. fair lot. We then hurried to retrace our way through the woods. Twilight fell about the trail, and it be- came so difficult to follow that we went astray frequently. As we stood peeping right and left at one " blind " place, several animals rapidly rushed across the path ahead of us. From the noise in the under- brush they seemed as large as cattle or horses. Though we could not see them we had little doubt they were bears. It was eight o'clock when we came out of the woods near the farm -house, glad to es- cape from the shadow of the soft -growth evergreens, where it was difficult to avoid the sharp, dead lower branches. As the farmer had directed us to the fishing - ground, we gave him 20 of our fish. There• upon his good wife kindly offered to fry some of our trout for our supper. We had scarcely more than time to 2o to our wagon -camp, kindle a fire and toast bread when she sent out her girl with the fish, nicely browned and hots Hungry as we were these trout had a flavor that I shall never, perhaps, find in fish again. By taking the proper course at the outset, we had got on each good terms with this family that our stay was particularly pleas- ant. The people furnished us with two loaves of bread next morning, and objected to taking pay; but we insisted on paying for all supplies that we had received. For their kindness we could make no return but thanks and gratitude. Setting off at about eight o'clock the next forenoon, we drove to Errol and crossed the Androscoggin on a strong bridge near where the river flows from the lakes. Thence our read ran northerly up the valley of Clear Stream -a large brook much like the 'NI olly- wickywock. It is probably over.fished,for we had little success in angling there. The land through- out the lower part of the valley is mcstly clemed, and there are numerous farm -houses. Near oue of these, situated on the banks of the stream, we saw two tame minks. Large ripe blueberries abounded along the roa:dside and in the pastures. We gathered five or six quarts as Old Bill plod- ded on. So late is the haying season here that we met several haying partiee with loq‘y rack -loads of fodder. hat afternoon we reached the foot of Dixville notch, and drove aside to aome large and widespread birohes a few rods below where the road turns to the left to enter the gorge. After ascartainiug that there I were no habitations nearer than the hotel at the upper end of the Notch, we decided that our liberty to camp here was not likely to be diiputed.

From the left came an attractive roar of falling waters.: Following a path in that direction, Posey and I came to a pretty little cataract called "The Flume," where the brook tumbles down rugged ledges into a deep, cold pool. It had the look and small of a trout pool, but we had no success in fishing it. As it was still early, we all walked up through the gorge, which is nearly a mile long, and traversed by a passably good road, Mountains on either hand rise precipitously to the height of a thousand feet, and leen over the narrow pass in craggy, jagged peaks known as "needles." Three of these on the south side of the Notch have a peculiarly wild effect. Steep as they appear, they can be climbed, and up we went in about twenty minutes, to behold a wide and grand view from the summit. Lake Umbagog lies to the southeast, Con- necticut lake to the north ; to the west the Connecticut Valley. Forest -clad mountains tower on all sides, and the whole effect is grim. The_blueberries up there were as large as cranberries, and of a spicy flavor such as we had never tasted elsewhere. We gath- ered several quarts of them, tied them up in our handkerchiefs, and took them down to our camp. Then we supped on these and half a dozen of the largest of oor trout left over from tbo yeaterday'e catch in the Mollywickywook. Darkness had fallen before we finished the meal. After giving Old Bill his evee- ing oats, locking our wheels together and making all snug for the night, we turned in and soon fell asleep. The cool night air at the foot of this great gateway in the mountains lulled us well after a hotand fatiguing day. I knew it must be late when the faiat rattle of a wagon waked me after a long nap. The waning moon did not rise till nearly twelve o'clock that night, and, I could see that it was shining in at one of the glass panes of our camp. Soon the unknown vehicle stopped out on the road and in a few moments I heard low voices in consultation. It seemed queer that people should be abroad on this little frequented road at such an hour, convers- ing in suppressed pones. I got up and quietly peeped out. Our camp was in the ahadow of the birches and Old Bill had now lain down near the forward wheel. We were nearly a hundred yards from the highway, and not likely to be noticed by passers-by; but I could see on the moonlit toed it wagon which had evidently come down through the North from the direction of Canada. The two men in it appeared to confer to- gether earnestly for awhile. Then for ten or fifteen minutes they spoke but little. I wrapped a blanket about me, and sat on a camps -stool watching them, for their movements excited my curiosity. Were they waiting for something or somebody? At last they drove toward the Clear Streern meadows, and I crept back to the bunk; but before I fell asleep I heard the rattle of a wagon again. It stopped in the road, and again my curiosity prompted rise to get ep and peep out. The same wagon and men had returned. After consulting a few moments, they gpt down and lifted out several bulky and evi- dently heavy objeets, and carried them oat across the clearing toward a little grave- yard. Each man made two trips. Then, after scuffling the sand over their track, they, &ova away up through the Notch, in the direction they had first appeared. (CONCLUSION NEXT WEEK.) Some Old Stories of Paddy. Our grandfathers used to laugh over the wit of Paddy quite as much as we do to -day, and lam not at all sure that in the olden time Paddy was not much brighter than his descendants are now. In looking over an old volume of curious anecdotes, published quite fifty years ago, which has been lying on my shelf for many a day, I find quite a number of evidences that our ancestors had a deal of fun provided for them at Paddy's expense, and of very rare quality, too. One of these stories is . told of the Irish servant of a naval commander who had the misfortune one day to let a teakettle fail overboard. In fear and trembling he ruahed to his master, and cried out to him : " Plaze, yer honor, can anything be said to be losht whin ye know where it is 7" "Certainly not," replied the officer. " Why ?" " Why;thiu. yer honor, ye may tink the taykettle is losht, but it ain't sorr. I know where it is, sorr. It's at the bottom of the ocean, sorr." It would certainly be difficult to find fella with one wbo made such a beautiful bull as that just because he had lost so insignifican't an article as a teakettle. Another anecdote teaches in mirthful guise a lesson our boys and gir18 cannot afford to leave unlearned, which is, that true politeness always pays. The story , states that an Irish officer in the midst of 'al hot battle happening to indulge in thP courtesy of a bow to some one on the fieldl, Goderich, August I a cannon ball paesed direetly over his hod j and took off that of the soldier immediately behind him. The bow alone saved his life, which he had the wit to see, apparently, for turning to it soldier near him, he observed : "You see, my mao, it fellow never lopes anything by politeness." An Irish judge who was much annoyed by lond conversation in the court room oried out. 'Silence ! •Keep silence in the court. Here I have decided a dozen cases this morning without hearing what one of 'em was about." In General Moore's command was an Irish soldier who, ba.ving been asked if the Hol- landers were it hospitable people, immedi- ately replied, "They are that. Too much so. Oi was in the hoshpital all the toirne oi was there." This criticism is quite on it par with that of the Englishman wbo objected to the French because he said the stupid _idiots couldn't understand their own language when he spoke it to them.
