Chapter 1! z0WN ON THE FARM

It was late fall. Grandad had just carted the last of the root crop to the cellar. -

"You'll not be able to keep them critters penned up all winter," he said to me one day. "First thing we know they'll bust out Ind then there'll be the devil to pay with muskrats running all over the place and doing harm."

"Better let them go." advised mother. "They will make their way to the brook and next year you'll be able to get into the trap- ping business again."

I promised to turn them loose

as soon as I'd Iinished breakfast. It was too late. "The animals beat me to it They'd made their so- cape under the wire and that was that. A couple of days later, grand- dad came up from the cellar in a furious rage and swearing like 9. pirate.

"What's eating you up?" grand- ma. asked,

"It's them confounded musk- rats. Ma. They're gulping the turnips faster than I can carry 'cm to the barn. But you should son the holes they made in the Collar wall and in the horse stable. big enough to let A bobcat through." .

Grandad set up his own trap line in our cellar. but before he cleaned up the muskrats there was trouble. Just as he had pre- dicted there would be.

It seems to me. that when I look back to those days on the form. my ability to find amusement in the face of complete adversity was little short of amazing.

No sooner did one of my bright ideas fall 'through' than s. new one popped into my head to take its place.

"What's causing that awesome noise in the hollow?" everybody was asking everybody else.

Farmers travelling to and from the city would stop dead on Kel- low's bridge and listen to the go- ings on upstrenmy

"Must be fairies." grand-mo. vol- unteered. "But then I've never known them to kick up ouch a racket before. Could it be .. "

"Yes, it could." granddad said. lnokin-g sharply in my direction. "You just bet it could be . that boy's prank. I'd better look ;inio the matter right now."

I tell you. my little invention down nt the brook caused at much twlk then as flying saucers do to- day. The more folks talked and guessed. and commented. the bet- ter I liked it.

I nione knew the cause of the noise issuing from the hollow and glorified in my secret know- ledge.

Some hours later I spied grand- dnd coming towards our home. In

"Why that young skin- ; flint is possessed of seven devils- wlierc is the boy? g It was the worst contraption you ever did see." granddod rat- itlcd .on when nobody answered lliis question. "The wheel I've I-been looking for all spalng is down there," he jerked his thumb in the direction of the crock .. "fitted into n wastegate ijust like a real wnterwheel. This lcnil of wire was fastened to the steel hub of the Wheel. and the 'r0I.hel' end to a. tall tree. The lspecd or the turning wheel against ;the wire caused it to shriek like In thousand spooks' in torment." "For land sakes." said izmndmn. "That boy will grow up to he an inventor. I just bet he will." "Not if I got my hands on him." gra-nddnd said. "I'll take his joints npart. so help me. I will." Grandma kept me out of sight all evening, oven slipped up to my room with my supper and warned me to stay under the cov- ers till Pa's temper cooled off. "A word to the wise is sufficient." After a good night's rest grand- datl felt so much better that I escaped with nothing more than it sound sc:9.ding and a. command to "get that ihar wheel back in its proper place just as soon as you've swallowed breakfast."
