THE CRUISE OF A WAGON -CAMP.
IN THREE PARTS.

Pater II --Continued.
After listening a while longer, I lay down
again and slept until Sam, who turned out
at sunrise, shook me up. I soon acquainted
my comrades with my tale of the night.
"-Whew!" exclaimed Posy. "You don't
suppose they had murdered anybody and
brought the body here to bury, do you?"
"Let's go and see !" cried Sam.
We all ran across the bushy clearing to
the little graveyard, and looked about it till
Sam discovered something extraordinary, in
a thicket of briers on the farther side.
" Just come hero!" he called. Peeping
into the brush, we espied four groat glass
carboys, such as are often used for mineral
spring water, but these each held eight or
ten gallons apiece of an amber -tinted liquid
that was certainly whisky!
"Oho !" cried Sam. " &haggled liquor !
Those fellows fetched it, down over the line
from Canada. This Notch is a short cut
from Canada into Maine, where the prohib-
itory liquor law is rigidly enforced."
The two were probably waiting for some
accomplice to meet them and take the stuff.
He wasn't on hand for some reason, so they
hid it for him to get," said I. "He may be
coming along 'moat any time," said Posy.
"So we had better not be found lingering
about here."
We went back to °amp and got breakfast,
while our thoughts continued to run on the
smuggled whisky.
"Probably their Maine customer knows
where the jugs are to be hidden," said Sam.
"They must have expected him along pretty
soon or they wouldn't have dared to leave
it there."
Most likely this is an old beat of these
smugglers," said Posy. "1 wonder if the
custom -house officer. know of this rill
trickling over the boundary? We might
give them a hint."
"1 shouldn't just like to do that," replied
Sam. "But I say, fellows, let's play a lit-
tle_prank with those smugglen."
Then be explained hie plan, which was
hailed by Posy and myself with east glee.
Giving ourselves up to the spirit of mis-
chief, we hitched up, drove out into the
road, got the carboys, loaded them into our
wagon -camp, and made for the Notch, in-
tending to set them on top of the higheat
of "Th. Needles."
But the jugs were so heavy that we re-
linquished this project, and compromised
by carrying them to the top of a orag which
conspicuously overhangs the highway.
There we set all four of the coerboys in a
row. Posy then lead -pencilled the follow-
ing inscription on a bit of board that we
had brought along:
FREE TRADE! No TARIFF
ON THIS !
WALK UP, GENTLEMEN.
This amused as so much tkat we got out
another bit of board and printed on it, in
large letters:
DOWN WITH THE MCKINLEY BILL!
RECIPROCITY wITH CANADA!
NOTCH OPEN ALL NIGHT !
Having staked these notices over the jugs,
we drove merrily on our way.
As we were not journeying to patronize
hotels' we passed by the hotel at the upper
end ofthe Notch, and want on toward Cole-
brook, a village on the upper Connecticut
River. It. distance from the Notch is lege
than ten miles, but we did not reach Cole-
brook, a village on the upper Connecticut
brook that day, for a farmer on the road
told na of a brook where he thought we
might catch a string of trout.
We camped, with the farmer's permissien,
under some trees near the highway, fifteen
or twenty rode from his place, and went
fishing again. The brook was small and so
were the trout. None of the twenty-eight
which we caught exceeded four or five
ounces in weight. However, we got enough
for a mese; picked several quarts of blue-
berries, and returned about sunset to get up
a good dinner.
. We were sitting round a pleasant little
camp -fire beside a large stone when the
farmer and his young wife came to see us,
and remained talking for twenty minutes or
more. The young woman, who was ap-
parently of French-Canadian birtladeelared
that sheewould like .a trip in just such a
wagon -camp as ours, and assured her hus-
band that he must build one that very
autumn.
The man laughingly questioned us tee to
where we had camped- the previous night,
and as he and his wife bade us good -night,
he remarked that a couple of men had
come to him during the afternoon to in-
quire a him who we were. , He said this
in a manner that provoked us to some
curiosity and uneasiness, but we soon re-
tired to our bunk and fell asleep.
Some hours later we were awakened by
a prodigious thump against the side of the
wagon.
"Good gracious !" Posy whispered.
"What was that ?"
Another thump ! then another! Evident-
ly large atones were being thrown at the
camp.
We heard them bounce and roll on the
ground. Posy sprang up to look out through
the pane of glees on the right side of the
camp. Fortunately for him he ducked his
head just as a large stone carne crashing
through, scattering glass in every direction !
"Keep down," whispered Posy, "or you
will get hit."
Thump ! bump! Two more games ! We
heard Old Bill pulling at his halter and
prancing about. Next moment, one of the
upright wall boarde of the camp crashed in,
and two more missilea tended heavily on the
roof. The next knocked open the door at
the rear end of the camp, and yet another,
banging against the wall boards on the left
side, knocked down our two guns and a
fishing -rod which hung iri brackets on that
side.
Clearly we were being bombarded by two
or more persons who seemed murderously
disposed.
Crash went another of our thin wan
boards, net a foot from my head ! Next in-
stant the glass was flying from the pane on
the left side. Old Bill snorted and tugged
at the halter, moving the warn a little in
his efforts to break away.
"What's to be done ?" cried Sam.
"They'll kill us !"
Just then a stone fell in through the roof,
and dropped on Posy's leg,
"Ginger !" he exclaimed. "We've got
to do something for ourselves !" He seized
one of the shot guns, fumbled about, found
a cartridge, anapped • it into the chamber,
pointed the gun out through where one of
the boards had been knocked in, and dis-
charged it at random. At that we heard
feet running away acmes the pasture. Two
more stones were thrown from a greater
distance than before. Posy fired another
cartridge, but aimed high.
The miscreants probably eupposed that he
was shooting in good earnest, for they re-
tired, we know not how fart We jumped
from the wagon into a slight fog that deep-
ened the obscurity of night.
We could see nothing of our a,ssailents.
Presently another stone was thrown from
refer with such good aim that it struck the
camp, and some one shouted, "No tariff on
that !"
"The smugglers are relying us back. I
wish we had let them alone," aaid Posy.
"No more sleep to -night. We must keep
guard, or they'll creep up and finish our
Wagon."
So we kept watch for more than an hour,
though our enemies rnoleeted us no more.
Then the dawn crept through the mist, and
in the gray light we saw our badly battered
wagon -camp.
To repair its damages occupied us about
three henna that forenoon. Our glass panes

and broken crockery were not replaced till
we had reached Colebrook. When we were
on the road spin, Posy looked back and
laughed.
"Weil, fellows, what do you think of
this ?" he said.
"Humph 1" exclaimed Sam. "Catch me
monkeying with anybody's old whisky
jugs again 1"
So we set it down as a rather rough les-
son in the great science of mind -your -own -
business.
PART III.
AJ4dTtRXS BY THE WAY.
eaa
From Colebrook we drove down the valley
of the Connecticut River to Worth Stratford,
and thence through Lancaster and Bethle-
hem, whence we followed up the brawling
Ammenoostic past the Twin Mountain
House and Fabyan's to the source of the
stream at the foot of Mount Washington.
Near the old charcoal kilns above Craw -
ford's " wee:tamped for three days, berry-
ing, fishing, shooting partridges, and climb-
ing the mountains. Then we journeyed
down the stupendous Crawford Notch and
camped a day in the Wiley Notch near the
old house where the Willey family met their
fate beneath the great slide.
With cool, exhilarating mountain air and
scenery always grand, these days were de-
lightful beyond description.
At Glen Station we turned northward up
the beautiful valley of the Ellis River,
through Jackson, and continued on to the
grand " Glen " itself, where we camped for
two days on the upper course of the Peabody
River.
On the firat of these days we climbed on
foot to the summit of Mount Washington,
following the carriage road from the Glen
House, and on the second we penetrated
Tuckerman's Ravine -by far the roughest
and most tiresome experience of the entire
tour.
The real fun of our trip in the White
Mountains came from our frequent chance
meetings with tally -ho coaches. It was the
height of the coaching season, and the moun-
talcs appeared to swarm with these gay and
gorgeous vehicles, with four, sometimee bix,
and in one case eight superb horses.
Many of the coaches have seats for eight
or ten persons on the outside. In fact, all
in the party usually ride on the top of the
coach. They carry long horns, leugles,
cornets, fifes and flutes to herald their ap-
proach.
Tally -ho parties are commonly not only
jovial but generous, whole-souled and kind-
hearted people, quite above the meanness of
attempting to snub those who are not so
wealthy as they. Being rather proud of our
wagon -camp, we held up our heads with the
best of them.
Of course our odd vehicle excited a good
deal of " chaff,", but we were -ready to take
and return all sorts of good-natured jokes.
Generally the telly -ho party meeting us
would observe our ruetic equipage- with
wonder for a moment, and then greet us
with some humorous salutation. If we halt-
ed they put pleasent questions as to our
route and programme.
One party, that had stopped for the night
at the Thorn Mountain House, near which
we camped, invited us to take supper with
them, and we enjoyed it much. We made
no secret of our economical programme, and
one of the ladies christened our wagon -camp
" the home-made tally -ho !"
We liked the name so well that we nailed
to our flag -staff a bit of board with this
legend :
THE HOME-MADE TALLY -HO.
$3.00 ei wEEK.
Perhaps -we ehould have omitted this sec-
ond line. Poverty, though in no sense dis-
graceful, will not be ostentatiously boasted
of by sensible people, but we had not stop-
ped to reflect on the subject.
Down the Willey Notch another merry
party of eight ladies and gentleman pullea/
up near us at noon, and invited us to their
luncheon. As we were able to contribute a
pailful of freshly gathered blueberries, we
readily accepted the invitation, and so made
some agreeable acquaintances. On the whole,
we approved of the coaching parties, and
forgave them their wealth.
But, just as there are mean poor people, so
there are mean rich ones -folks who never
let pass an opportunity to make others un-
comfortable.
We encountered one such -coaching perty,
all men, on three different occasions. They
were a roistering, ill-bred lot -possibly bar-
tenders, who thought they might pass as
gentlemen on the atrength of good clothes
and a tally -ho.
We first met them up the Ammonoosuc,
,toward Bethlehem. On they came, blowing
horns discordantly, and urging their four re-
spectable horses to a canter.
Sena gave them three-quarters of the road,
but they appeared to want the whole of it.
Their hubs clicked ours pretty sharply, as
they blew their long horns in eur faces and
went by, while one shouted, " Then out,
hayseeds."
Days went by, and we had nearly forgot-
ten these bullies ; but on the afternoon when
we went up the Glen road from Jackson we
saw, on the meadows of the Ellie River,
the coach with our five jack -a -dandies ap-
proaching.
On sighting us they began a wild fanfaron-
ade ou their horn*, and again shouted," Turn
out, hayseeds."
Sam reined off till our off -wheels were in
the ditah, and our camp careened danger-
ously. Nevertheless, their forward wheel
" locked " with ours. The momentum of
their coach and the force of their team ran
us backward, horse and all, for two or three
yards; and then twieted us around till their
hind wheel grazed Old Bill severely. We
were tipped so far over that their fore wheel
passed under our axle.
Thus they went clear of us, scarcely seem-
ing to stop at all, for it was all the work of
a moment or two. We had time to leap off,
and so save ourselves from being thrown. A
great shout of laughter came front all five of
Pitcher's Castoria.

the party as they looked back and yelled,
"Turn out next time."
-
"Where are your road manners,anyhow ?"
exclaimed Posy. 'Next thing you will k
satnebody 1"
" Shut your mouth, hayseed, or we will
put a head on ye 1" Arne a shout from the
coach.
This provoked Posy so much that he ste
ped down into the road.
"Come down and try it 1" he cried, etri
ing a pugilistic attitude.
Instead of accepting the invitation, two of
the party rose and threw a lot of bad lem-
ons at our man. At that Sam handed solve,
eral raw potatoes to Posy, whose base -b11
practice was valuable just then. One-tevo
-three-four-each potato went in with a
thud and produced a yell from the party,
who drove out of range as fast as poesible,
and then turned to hoot at us.
We were half an heur repairing damagus,
and our indignation waxed hotter the mere
we considered the matter.
"We may Meet them again," eaid Sam.
"What are we going to do 1 they drive
plump at us ? Cringe clean into the ditch ?"
"Our axles are as stout as theirs," said
Posy. "1 only wish we had as much tem
as they. One half the road is all they wo Id
get then. But one horse can't stand agai st
four."
"Why didn't I think to drop the 'drag' ?"
exclaimed Sam. "They couldn't run us
back much with that down,"
At Lancaster, Sam, who is a prudent
driver had stopped at a blacksmith's abop
oo, ad a drag, or drag -brake, attached o
ind axle. The drag is a stout stio
eh -pointed. about four feet and a half Ion,
all plunge its sharp point into the
bed and act as a brace when a vehicle
a al to run backward..
Next morning Sam went to the Glen
ouse btablee and bought for a trifle a drag
from an old disused cart. He attached it tio
our forward axle near the right fore wheel.
We then experimented a little in backing
our wagon -camp, and found that both
drags would " set " it solidly, even on a hill-
side.
"Now let them come on 1" said Sam.
"One good, fair half of the road is all they
will ever get from me after this."
After °sniping two nights in Upper Bart-
lett, -we visitedoblount Kearsarge, but rain
prevented our reaching the summit. After-
ward we camped one night on the outskirts
of North Conway village and. went to the
White Mountain minendepring.
Then we bade adieu to the grand moun-
tains, and shaped our course for Fryeburg,
Maine. While we were toiling along the
sandy road, among the pines, about two
miles from Fryeburg Academy we euddenly
heard a familiar discord of horns ahead.
"Jingo 1" exclaimed Posy. "The Philis-
tines are upon us !"
"Drop the drags," cried Sam, taking a
good grip on the reins. " Just half the road
and no more." s 0
As he spoke a coach came rattling round a
bend of the piney road. Sure enough it cat--
ried the same rowdy party with whom
we had exchanged incivilities a week pre-
viouslit. They recognized us instantly, and
oame an with shouts of derision.
"Turn out there, hayseeds ! Out o' the
'toad 1"
Sam turned just half way off the road
with great deliberation,
When their driver saw that we were not
giving up all the road, he weakened a little,
and tried to sheer off. He was too late.
Their front wheel locked ours with a sharp
crash !
We were carried back a foot, perhaps, be-
fore our drag -brakes set firmly, and our
wagon -camp stood fast. The enemy were
brought up E0 sharply that the driver lell
half -way down over the foot -board, and all
the others pitched forward.
Their horses floundered heavily backward,
then started forward with a jerk, but failed
to stir us from our moorings. Then all four
animals balked and turned half around in
confusion.
Then Sam, seeing their traces slack, gave
Old Bill the wordeand we fisirly pulled them
back half out of the road. They lashed their
horses, but our drags " set " again; and
again their horses balked.
Once more Sam touched up Old Bill. Our
wheel was now beering slantwise against the
felloe of theirs. When Old Bill jumped into
his collar there was a cracking noise. Their
wheel collapsed, off went the wheel tire,and
we went forward with about half their fel-
loe and two spokes. Posy jumped on top of
our vehicle and shouted : " Howts that for
hayseeds ?"
With three cheers and a tiger we went on
and out of sight round the bend, while they
sat looking at their damages and shrieking
furiously. Weinety have been a trifle too
aggressive in this affair, but we have not yet
been able to regret our proceedings very
deeply.
From Fryeburg vi'lage we drove down tn
Lovewell's pond, a pretty sheet of water two
miles long by about a mile wide.
The little peninsula where the Pequawkets
of 1725, under the famous chief, Paugus,
entrapped Captain Lovewell and his band of
rangers into the most sanguinary battle of
early New England -is now a resort for pic-
nic partiee and tourists. Many bullets have
been cut from the old pines here; and
the barrels and brass breech-etraps of pro-
vincial muskets have been found in the
sandy soil.
Tradition has it that Patroains and Cham-
berlain, the noted Indian fighter. met on the
pond's shore during the fight. Both were men
of great strength and stature. The battle
had been raging for many hours, each side
firing from cover of the pines, when Chant-
berlain's gun becerne so foul that he could no
longer discharge it, He had crept through
the brueh toward the ivater, meaning to
wash the piece out.
• Scarcely had he pushed his way through a
little copse of willows, when Paugus, cover-
ed with blood and powder stains, emerged
from another bush not ten paces distant.
He, too, was going to wash out his gun.
For an instant they silently stared at each
other. Each identified his antagonist, and
divined his motive in coming to the water.
Both guns were useless.
13'
Without a word each dipped water into
his gun barrel, and began to swab it out,
marking every motion of his adversary.
Having washed the barrels, they awabbed
them dry and wiped out the pans.
Both guns were flintlocks. Chamberlain's
had so large a priming -hole between barrel
and pan,that it would prime itself if a sharp
blow were struck on the breech after the
powder had been rammed in.
Wiping out the pan Chamberlain flung his
swab on the sand, and snatched his powder -
horn.
"-Now, Paugus, I'll have yr," he ehouted,
to frighten the chief.
na, me have you !' cried the huge
savage.
Both rammed down their powder at two
strekes. Then the balls were "thumbed "
into the barrels and again the reenroas were
applied.
It was the work of but two seconds for
theatrong, experienced hand of Chamber-
lain, But quick as he was he saw that Pau-
gus was an instant ahead. The chief had
thrown back his pan cover, and Wa,3 turning
powder from his horn into it. Chamberlain
heard grains spilling on the stones,
With a single motion he struck his own
netock sideways on the ground, raised the
ece to his shoulder and fired. The
11 pained through the chest of the red
ief.
It is said that his gun was discharged ae
fell, and the bullet whistled by Chamber-
eas head ; so close matched had been the
me of life and death.
Chamberlain strode forward for a look at
fallen foe. Paugue lay on his back,

palor of death on his broad, copper-oolored
face.
Camberlain caught up the chief's gun
and powder -horn and hastened back to the
aid of his sorely pressed fellow -rangers. He
shouted to the savages that ['aligns was
dead. The' Indians looked around vainly
for thettail form of their chief. His deep
war -whoop had ceased. Their fire slacken-
ed and they soon withdrew, leaving the
rapers to make good their retreat.
We camped by the roadside near the
pond, and, as it happened, we, too, had an
adventure with a " Pigwacket," at least
Posy declared that it must have been one.
As it was a sultry night we set the door of
our camp wide open, to admit air. Durin
the night Settee's' awakened by a aligh
noise. Then he felt sure he saw for one m
ment a human being at the open door. Th
form disappeared. Without speaking, Sa
crept quietly back toward the door, to se
who was there.
As he approached the doorway the form
reappeared there. After peering in a mo-
ment, he gently laid hold of our oil -stove
and began to draw it slowly out. Sam reach-
ed suddenly forward, seized the marauder
by the arm with both hands, and planted his
feet against the door frame.
The thiera outcry of surpriee and ter -
roe waked Posy and me, causing us to
jump up.
d‘ Grab the rascal's other arm," said Sam
Posy did so, promptly.
"Now, fetch Old Bill's short halter "Sam
,
said.
I crept out and got it. The man had given
up, and stood sulkily silent. We first
tied the fellow's wrists behind his back,
then made him fast to a pine tree near the
wagon.
Sam now lighted our lantern, and we in-
spected our captive, who seemed to be a
tramp. To our questions he refused any an•
ewer. Upou looking about with the lantern
we found that the rascal had already stolen
both our guns from their brackets, as well
as our camp -axe, kettle, spider, -three or four
tin dishes and our umbrella. A ernall red
umbrella and a "blazer," which we had not
seen before, were with our things, which he
had carried about fifty feet away and placed
beside a stump.
If he had not come greedily back for our
oil -stove he might have walked away with
the other plunder.
"1 suppose we ought to keep hold of this
disreputable Pigwacket till morning and
turn him over to the town authoritiee,'
said Posy. "But if we do that we shall
have to stay about and appear against him
in court."
•
that one he's talking to leade the record in
baseball."
"Ah? And who's the tall chap with the
lantern jaws ?"
"He's our champion tennis player. No-
body in the State can swing a racket in the
same atmosphere he does."
"Proud of him, I suppore ?" ventured the
father.
"You bet we are and so we are of the
dark-haired fellow down by the ghte. He's
our crack oarsman and best all around gym-
nast. Rare combination, but he's a corker,
is Jimmie !" and the .on threw a kiss to
Jimmie.
"By the way," inquired the father, "who
is valedictorian of the class this year ?"
tThe son looked at his father question -
0_ ingly.
o "Valedictorian ?" he asked, with a puz-
m
"And that may take several days," grum
bled Sam. " We shall be at expense all the
time. It isn't worth while. Let's scare him
terribly and let him go."
" Load the guns ?" exclaimed Sam, going
toward the prisoner as if wild with rage.
" We will fix him and sink him in the
pond."
"-Say----you ain't going to murder me,
gents ?" quavered the fellow, evidently in
much fear.
We went on loading.
"Oh, don't shoot me ! I'll do anything.
Put me in jail or anything. Only don't shoot
me !"
"It will be best to stand close behind
him," muttered Sam, " so's to make sure of
him first pop."
The rough shrieked, " Help ! Help I
Murder 1" Then he began to cry.
"Can we be bothered shooting this blub-
bering calf ?" asked Sam.
"No,gentano, I ain't worth the powder,"
he wailed.
" Well," bald Sam, "we will give you one
chance for your life. We will untie you and
you may run. If you can get away before
we can fetch you down, all right."
With that I cast off the halter and shout-
ed, Go 1"
He ran like a fox, cringing down, dodg-
ing, leaping, as if a bullet might come any
moment.
The eight was too absurd for our gravity,
and we burst into a roar of laughter. At
that he stopped and yelled, " Yah ! Think
you're smart, I guess."
Sam rushed forward, and with renewed
terror the cowardly rascal disappeared.
Next day we drove home to Uncle
Bicknell's, having been absent exactly thirty
days.
That umbrella is on our hands still. If
any young lady has lost one in circumstances
which lead her to thiuk that this may be
her property, we shall be most happy to re-
store it. It was nearly new when WO came

Companion.
What Was It?
The father had come to the commence-
