Henry soon gave up the chase. In a short time I véntured back tili I came near enough to see what was taking place. Farmer and hired man were tryrng to catch the sheep that had been f irst led into the pool. When they got hlm into the pen with the others. the old man said very emphatically:- "Enery I baint gwine to wash no sheep there. Let's go orne." I watched them climb the hiU, and was just congratulating myself on getting out of the di!! ic- ulty so easily, when the old man turned round. In a moment his face lighted with a savage joy.

Hughes Fi! ty years ago there was a fine mili pond inimediately west o! So- lina. It was knowu as Bice's Pond. The litthe stream o! today was then a good slzed creek. and provided suf - f icient water to mun a sawmill. At the west end o! the dam was the waste gate beloWw wich the water f ehl several feet. The soil just blow the waste gate was a liard blue chahk. We used it in the scliool in- stead o! the commercial clialk used i ordinary schools. before crayons were sold in this country. The f ail- ing water during the spring freshets had cut this chalk away sa as to formi a pool about thirty f eet across and about eight feet deep. Around the edge o! this pool the water was shallow. It gradualhy became deep- er tili it was about three feet in depth and then it deepened at once to eight feet. The cday or chalk wal around this deep central pool was perpeudicular. s0 that any one not accuainted with the conditions would walk in f rom either side and find the water grow very gradually deeper tili it iearly reached lits waist, and then unexpectedly drap into an apparently bottomless hole about fi! teen feet in width. This central liole grew shallower towards the southern side where the creek ran away froni the pool. One Saturday morning I lad gone to the pool irnmediately after break- f ast for a swifl. I spent many o! my Saturdays in and around the swimming pool, usually having Charhie Bice and Joe Ruse for comn- panions. We dressed only for meals, and enjoyed the water and the sun ail day. saf e !rom observation be- 10w the higli dam. On this special Saturday an old gentleman f rom a !armi some dis- .tance west o! Solina came with lis .hired man to wash lis sheep in the .pool. He was originally f rom Dev- Lonshire. I was in the water. and~ 1lie came ahead to find the proper place to wash the sleep. He lac .neyer been there before. He asked ,me wlere the sheep washing was doue. I told hlmi quite trutîfully 'that it was done in the pool ir Iwhldh I was standing at the tume. 1 "Be it very deep?" lie enquired. 9 The spirit o! misdhief led me to tsay, "Oh! No. See me walk across.' 1 I could "tread water" and witb my liead and shoulders out o! the water I apparently walked across e the pool and showed him the Pen in ewhicli the sheep were kept. -He cailed to the hlred nian: "Brini e mon vore Enery.
