A COLD SNAP.
BY O. A. meg-mt.-TS.
CHAPTER IL
" Open in the name of the Lord !" citied
the high pitched voice again outside the
, door. i
- Theodore jumped from his chair: The
hail at the door startled us exceedingly. No
,one had come to the house or passed alOng
the road for three days. The snowdrifts •
were about ten feet deep, and the. highWay
blockaded.
The wind was blowing fiercely, the snow
flying, ancl the cold terrible. , [ Why. sholild
any human being stand at our door ?-[ Mcire
over, the voice was strange and unnatural.
Who's there ?" I mustered, courage [g to
call out.
" It's -me-Brother 'Remmick-the slue
vont of the Lord," replied the ' same queer,
high voice. .
I opened the door. A large, smooth -faded
man, bundled in a. ragged old, - blue . arthy
overcoat, with two or -three ' knitted " coin-
forters" tied about his neck and ears, £m-
• other about . his waist, and one wound
around each of his legs, pressed eagerly in.;,
He was covered with snow, and his fano
was nearly. as red as a lobster; but he did
not appear to be chilled or in O had plig,ht.
He stamped the snow from his 'boots, slokit
• the door, and. hurried to the stove.
" Whar's the Squire? Whar's Sister
Wood?" he cried.
We told him that they were in Augusta,
for the winter, and that the house wa.s clds-
ed save the ell and kitchen. ,
"
Strange ! strange !" muttered our sifn
. gular caller. "I've jarneyed far th ine'dt
'em in the flesh once more, and now they'
.
gone. And now they've gone !"
The man hummed constantly to himsetT,
and every few Moments opened his mouth $05
a to speak, and then as suddenly shut it
ithout saying anything. ,
-
"Did you come in the road? WereAt
the drifts deep ?" Theodore asked. him preS-
entiy. .
"Nobody ea,n go in the road!" cried the
stranger. "1 walked on the tops of the
stone walls and in the open fields, and in the
pastures where the wind blew the snow off: -
I rolled on the tops of • the . drifts. Snow'a,
clean stuff. Snow's clean stuff."
--a
Theodore and I looked anxiously at each
other. We were sure that the man was
crazy, and did not. know what to expect
from him. For some time he sat -humming
and warming himself. Theodore then Said :.
" I guess, sir, after you get warm, yon
had better iro down to • Mr. Bartlett's the
house next elow here. The folks who live il
here are away, and. wouldn't like to have us -
i
take in strangers: 'Most all of the htuse is
shut up now!' -1
He looked. al us for a long time, opening
his mouth, but shutting it without speaking. I.
Then he dropped on his knees, and in a loud
voice began to pray. He prayed for us per--
sonaily-prayed that the Lord in His mercy
would,[sof ten the hearts of these His young
servants. He continued at great length..
We looked at each other in speechless dis-
may. It seemed as if he would never cease.
After a long time he opened his eyes and
looked at us.- -
Finally Theodore broke the silence. •
"If you are a minister 1 guess we will try
and keep you," said .he. "''We want to do I
the right thing by Mr. Wood and you too. i
Are you hungry, sir ?"
"1 h
have fasted since morning," the 'man
answered.

We fried pork and potatoes, ancl placed_ ,I
on the table all that was left of our bread,
with butter, cheese and apple -sauce , The A
man ate as if famished, talking strangely as 1
he ate.
Theodore and I wondered where we s . oul
lodge him for the night, for it was - growing
late. We decided to let him sleep in our
bed up -stairs, and. lie on the kitchen floor' [1

ter to him, he exclaimed

all neat in appearance, and
I had ; grave •doubts as to Aunt Sarah's
opinion, if she knew of it; but we did. ,,,not
dare to deny his reqUest. After he had re-
tired for the night; Theodore and I sat for a
while looking aghast at each other.
•" He's crazy, Al!" said Theodore. "1
wish we were, rid of him, What shall we do,
with him on our hands to -marrow, and wa-
ter to lug all day ?"
For the time, Brother Remmick had quite
diverted my mind from the water question.
Theodate's disconsolate remark brought it
back' with an added anxiety and with these
two bitter cares on our minds we went to
bed and fell asleep. We were very tired,
and slept, as boys of fifteen are apt to do,
soundly and long.
At length I dreamed that I -was at a pray-
er meeting, and that the peOple were sing-
ing. They sang so lOu.dly at last that I
waked 'suddenly, and started up. Soniebody
was really singing.• .
'They softly lie
.And sweetly dream
Low in the ground,„
• I 'knew it must be Brother Remmick.
Just then the housewas shaken by a loud
jar, accompanying, a, booming noise. Theo-
dore woke.
"What's that ?" he cried. "Has the
barn blown down ?"
"It's Remmick !" I exclaimed, jumping
from bed. "He's up ransabking r
. We dressed in haste, and then stole down
stairs on tip -toe, prepared, if necessary, to
grapple with a powerful lunatic.
Day had begun to dawn. In the kitchen
we met Remmiek, carrying a huge armful of
wood from the wood -house to the sitting -
room, which he deposited with a crash in
the woodbox.
He had kindled a roaring fire in the fire-
place, and the sparks and cinders wera snap-
ping out upon Aunt Sarah's fine rag -carpet
in a manner that would have wrung her
heart.
"Look here, mister !" said Theodore, in-
digna,ntly. "I'm sure Mrs: Wood wouldn't
like to have 'a fire here. It's dangerous.
You'll have to sit by the stove in the kit-
chen !"
"Young man," he replied, impressively,
"this is sermon day with me. I have my
sermon to prepare so I'm up early. • I al-
ways have such a fire on sermon day. Sister
Wood never refused me that."
Theodore looked at -me in helpless per-
plexity.
"Watch the sparks, Alf !" he said to me,
"I'll go out and feed the cattle."
Brother Remmick had brought in not less
than six great armfuls of wood. He had
also been into the pantry and cutoff a huge
sliee.of cheese, from which he was taking
bites at intervals.
• I kept an eye on the sparks, and mean-
time kindled a fire in the kitchen stove and
began to prepare breakfast. Our visitor
came out.
'
"Coffee ! coffee !" he cried. "Make me
a stiff cup of coffee. For this is. sermon
day!"
- Theodore and I drank water at our meals.
We had never made coffee. I told Remmick
so, and immediately he invaded the -pantry
on his own account. He found a little cof-
fee, which he prepared. Theodore came in.
• [Being destitute of bread we mixed la hasty
pudding with cornmeal, to eat with sugar
and butter, and fried a large quantity of
beef, to all of which Brother Remmick did
full justice. After this it was necessary
that both of us should go to the barns and
the cattle.
"We must run in every few minutes and
see what he's about," Theodore said. "If
he doesn't set the house afire I shall be glad:
How long do. you Suppose he means to
stay ?"
That was more than -1 could guess.
• After feeding the cattle- again, we took
our pails axe and shovel, and going to the
water -hole, cut it open and began to carry
water to the barns. Thera was pressing
need. The cattle were so thirsty that they
did not eat their hay.
The wind had lulled, but the cold was in-
tense. The hollows were completely filled.
To drive the cattle. over them would have
been impossible.
After each trip to the water -hole either
Theodore or I rain into the house as far as
the kitchen to ;listen, sniff for smoke,and
reassure ourselves as to Brother Remmick.
After one of these trips Thdodore said :
"Alf, there are five holes burnt in that
carpet before the fireplace.- And he's got
the bigiBible open in the middle of the floor
and. the hymn -book anal Bible dictionary
propped open on two chairs. He's been in
the parlor and brought out the big stuffed
rocking -chair, and set it right before the
fire. Now what in creation can we do with
him ?"
While we were in the midst of these wor-
ries, and plowing with our .,pails of water
over the great drift at the end of the south
barn, and wondering if two boys were ever
in a worse scrape, we heard a cheery -voice
call -out :
"Hello, boys ! What are you doing ?"
We turned quickly. It was our school-
master, Mr. Ames. He had missed us at
the schoolhouse; and as this was Saturday,
he had come through the drifts from his
boarding -place to see if anything was
wrong with us. We explained the situation
hastily.
" Well, well," he • said, " you are in a
tight place, boys, and no mistake! And by
the way, who is it thatyou have in the house
there ?"
"That's more than we ,know," replied
Theodore. "He came alongt last night in
that awful gale of wind. He calls hiinself
Brother Remmick,' and he says that he
knows Mr. Wood and his wife." ,
The master laughed heartily.
"You twoboys are having a hard time ?"
he exclaimed. "Where can I get a couple
of buckets? I'm going to help you."
, The master worked with us till near noon,
and we brought a hundred pailfuls -enough
to keep the animals from suffering for the
day. -
"But you can never fetch water enough
for this great stock of cattle, in this way,"
the master exclaimed, when at last We . left
off. "Some other way will have to be pro-
vided,"
Then he asked us concerning the hydraulic
ram, which we supposed to be frozen hard
and fast, and about wells. •
" There is usually a well about a farm like
this," he added. " I am: going down to
Bartlett's and ask them. They will be like-
ly to know something about
Before two o'clock the master returned
with neighbor Bartlett, who assorted that
there was a well, from -which the familyofor-
merly took water, somewhere in front of the
ell and woodhouse. Uncle Sydney had cov-
ered -it over five or six years before. Mr.
Bartlett mounted the drifts and indicated a
point beneath which he believed we should
find a well.• .
We all worked resolutely to dig away the
snow -and earth and find•the well but with-
out success. Meantime the wind had risen
again a and as night was at hand, we- were
forced to 'abandon the search.
"Keep a stiff upper lip. Don't lose
courage, boys," said the master. To -mor-
row is Sunday, but this is work of necessity
if ever there was one. Water you must
have here."
Beforebidding us good -night he went in-
doors for a few moments and held some con-
versation with Brother Remmick who was
still at work on his sermon.
"Get along as easily as you can with him,
boys," he said to us, when he came out. "1

very early the foliowitig Morning. The first

ing in the -sitting -room., ,
By eight o'clock Mr. Ames mine again.
For two hours with his help, we shovelled
and searched' for the missing well. We
could not find it; and the urgent wants of
the cattle again oreed us to bring water
over the drifts from the water -hole in the
13waltethis,* k -
Awe labored for- three hours,
A
and but foi•-the aseistance of , Master Ames
we should certainly have lost courage that
day. He remained and lunched with us.
Meantime Brother ,Remniiek seemed to haveettled down to live with us permanently.
Mr. Ames now suggested an examination of
the hydraulic ram in the woods.
. "If the pipe is really frozen," he said,
"there is no prospect of getting water, front
it until spring. But at any rate' let us take
shovels amigo down and look atit."
We set off through the snow. We found
the brook in the wood -lot frozen over solid-
ly, buried in snow. The low house which
sheltered the ", ram" was almost covered
over with a drift. It was silent ;, no -cheery
ding! chug! now issuedifrom it.
Uncle Sydney had banIted the house high
with dry leaves and earth, and fastened se-
curely the little door on the farm side. We
shovelled away the drift in part, and. then,
with an axe, Theodore knocked off the cleats
nailed across the doorway. '
As he did so we heard a querulous, low,
yapping sound inside, followed by a rumble
and a scratching noise,
Master Ames and I went hastily around
to the other side, and were in time to see
two red foxes death out at a hole through the
drifted snow, on the side next the brook.
They ran away for a little distance into the
woods, then turned, holding up each a foot,
and barked at us saucily again.
"Why, those rogues 'have made a burrow
of this aqueduct house !" exclaimed the
schoolmaster.
Theodore meantiine had opened the door.
Entering, we found feathers, ,its of fur off
hares'and bones scattered about. The
foxes had dug a hole -through the banking
outside, and worked their way dn beneath
)
the sill. I
Where the waste valve of the ram was
located, in thelower end of the large, short
pipe, below the air -chamber, were traces
which showed that the foxes had been
scratching aside the earth and 'overturning
the covering of boards -plainly in quest of
the water which gushed out there when the
automatic valve fell. ,
Master Ames took puthis knife and thrust
the blade down into theend of the waste -
pipe, where the valveaivas placed.
"See here, boys r he suddenly exclaimed.
." I -believe ita those faxes that have played
the mischief here; You see the pipe- cannot
be frozen up, for the Water is pouring . out
here in a: full stream. Something ails the
valve. It ,does'nt work /right."
He thrust down the .blade of his knife and
moved it around beside the valve, when the
force of the water suddenly threw out an ob-
honk pebble. Instantly the valve closed,
• properly, -and the rani resumed its." chug!
chug! chug!" -
-,
The long, small pipe under ground leading
up to the buildings was not frozen at all, for
• the best of reasons -it had been empty- all
the While. As soon as the ram had stopped
working, all the water in the long pipe had
runback out Of it. •
"It's going all right !" cried the master.
"Three cheers!"
Theodore and reould scarcely believe it.
Hastily closing the d.00r of the aqueduct
house, we hurried back to the barns. Water
was coming into boti troughs therelas usual,
when we reached them. laaa,,,a7=1_11
We were so delighted that we could have
shed tears for pure jay. We hastily turned
out the cattle. They had been on short al-
lowance for four days; and were still so
thirsty that they drank the water • in large
quantities. • . .
Before he went back to his boarding -place
that evening, Mastet Ames said:
"Get on as easily! as you can with Bro-
ther Remmick. I arn going to send word to
the selectmen of the town to -morrow morn-
ing, to take care of him. That will be the
best way, I think."
The weather had now begun to moderate.
The road surveyor appeared on the highway
with a team of six yokes of oxen, next morn-
ing, and "broke out" the road; and at noon
that day two of the [selectmen came to Uncle
Sydney's place with a sleigh, and induced
Brother Remmick to take a trip with them
to the town farm. He was entertained for
a time until the town authorities of his na-
tive place could he notified to take charge of
him. •
very
So desirous' were -we to prove our
efficiency to Uncle Sydney that, in our next
letter, we barely alluded to the fact that
Brother Remmick had been there, and that
the foxes had stopped the ram for a little
while. We did notmention the holes in the
carpet at all.
"We can tell her about it when she comes
home," Theodore said.
Neither Aunt Satah nor Uncle Sydney
ever really knew how much trouble and
anxiety we two were in, during those five
dreadful days of the cold snap, with no wa-
ter at the barns, and. Brother Remrnick on
our hands.
I may add that Theodore and I were
alone at the farm u til the middle of March;
hut we had no mor unpleasant experiences.

the room, in the car, or on the street

There are plenty of things to fret about. It

Value of a, Good Father.
When Rev. Mark Guy Pearse was four-
teen years old he went to London,having
been in a school in Germany. He stayed in
London long enough to spend all his money
excepting.enough to pay his fare to his home.
in Cornwall.
Hewent by train to Bristol, and there
took passage on a vessel. He thought that
the passage money included his board,
and therefore ordered his meals on that
day. •
At the end of the journey a dapper lit-
tle stewart presented a bill for meals to the
"1 have ho Money," said the surprised
a
boy.
" Then," replied the stewart, " you
should not lia-ve -taken your meals at the
table. Wbatis your name ?"
"Mark Guy Pearse."
• The stewart closed his book, took the boy
by the hand, and said,-
' "1 never thought I should live to see you.
My mother was in great distress years ago.
My father had died suddenly, and your
father was very kind to my mother and .me.
I promised myself then that if I could "ever
do so, I would show like kindness to some
one your father loved."
The truly grateful steward paid the
boy's bill, gave him five shillings'and
sent him ashore in a boat rowed by five
sailors. •
Mark's father was waiting to receive his
son.
"Father," said the boy, "it is a good
thing to have a good father," and then the
story of the st&wort'slkindness was told.
"My lad," said Mt. Pearse "it is long
since I passed the kindness on to him in do-
ing what I did. Now he has passed it on to
you. -AB you grow up, mind that you often
pass iort to:others."
Years afterwards, when the boy had
become a man; he was going by rail on a
short journey, when he saw a boy crying
bitterly..
On asking the cause of his grief, the boy
replied that he had not enough money by
four pence to pay his fare to the town itt.
which he lived.
Mr. Pearce at once bought the boy a
ticket, and then related his own experience
on the steamer years before.
'And now," beeepncluded, "1 want you
to be sure and pas 4 this kindness on to
others if you are ever able to do so."
As the train left the station, the .smiling
boy waved his handkerchief and said,-
'" I will pass it on, sir ; I will pass it on."

Getting It Off His Mind,
"Now, John,' she said persuasively,
"you will try to do those few errands for
me when you get down town."
"Yes, indeed," he replied.
"Don't put them off."
"No. I make it a rule now, when I
promise to do anything for you, to get it off
my mind as quickly as possible."
"Yes," she answered, with a gentlenega
That relieved. the sarcasm, " you.do-by for-
getting it." ---Washington Star.

The young man hadbeenthere several
hours; bot he was one Of those who are ob-
livious of the passing of duration.
The girl had yawned behind her Cara -
brie handkerchief until it actually had a nap
on it.
Still he staid on and talked.
The girl's evident weariness at last ap-
pealed to him.
• "-Bless my 1,_oul, he exclaimed, " what

She shook her head hopelessly.
"Time ?" she asked. "It must be
eternity."
