not made lightly," according
to Bain. • "With a record -of

TIJE'SUNSET`
The sunset was . on one
winter evening. The snow
which was about two feet
..deep was one h4.jge mirror.
The ram had froen on the =:
snow =to make a brittle mirror
on the 'snow.'
The ` sky was a light bide:
turning darker as the sun set.
."There. wasn't a cloud to be
seen in the " clear blue sky.
The firy ball of sun could be
or;
seen through the trees. On
'the horizon the redish orange =
..
glow- could be seen as it was
darker, but still'. ,glowing like
the'' teals in a furnace.
. The sun and thesky.were
being'reflected o . the mirror
• n
of snow. It was as clear as
looking at your reflection in a
clear pond. The sun "-was
reflected on the aluminum
roof of, the barn making it:
hard.to:look at because of the
strain on your, eyes.
Over' all it was one'beauti-
ful sight to see. The scene
looked almost as if it wasn't'
real. The picture :seen ^'and'
= the fresh crisp air was a sight
that was never to be forgot-
