.TWAS BITTER COLD.
A Night's Experience tn tho Lumbci
lierions of Aluino.
??In rebru.iry. 18-10," said Capt. H. L.
Zoby, of Cntonlown, "I had au interest
ri soino lutnber way up in tia; Pisonia*
quis reglen, and I bad to go up tiaro and
eeo how things wi n; getting along, lt
was a long journey, bul tho sleighing
was liko glass, nod l bad ono of tho best
horses that over stood inside tho Hulls.
On my Bccon i diw-out tho theriutuioter
etoo I at 20 dogs, below, and war; Inclined
to K" lower. I know I would reach ono
of those queer litllo villages common to
tho Maine backwoods oarly in tho even
ing. Thora I int 'tided to stay ali night,
nud drive on next morning to the houso
of th.' agent of tho hunier property,
twelve mil. s further along. 1 roached
the villa ,.. ami found that there waa no
tavern lhere.
.'This, of course, upset my plans. So
I atc RU| per in the village and started on.
Intending to proceed to tho agent's tho
Kaine night, lt was a Starlight night,
but tho air was filled with that peculiar
frozen mid frequently noticeable on very
cold ni els. As WO neared thc river this
haze lieeamo densor, until tinnily it was
with diUieulty 1 could seo anything aho.nl
of mo. lt was like passing through a
storm of scaly ice. Suddenly, as I wes
thinking that we must bc almost on tho
margin of the river, there dhmo a crack
ling sutmd, a loud splash of water, nnd
tho next second my horse was flounder
ing about in waler, which also covered
tho sleigh, the robes and myself up to
my waist.
"Tho water splashed about soon
drenched tho rest of me, nnd In loss
time than I can tell it I was coated with
a rapidly thickening arima' of ice. I
guess my noble l.ea^t must have floun
dered nt least a minute m that hole before
be knew exactly what had happened.
When tho situation did come to him ho
beeline quiet, threw his fore feet up, and
lodged diem both ui tho leo willi n eon
C< ried blow liko a trip hammer. Tile ico
was thick, but beneath that blow an im
mense e.TKO was broken off and was car
ried down in under tho edge of tho ice
below. The horso swam onward, drag
ging thy sleigh with it through Iii" rap
idly freezing slush. Once nus.! bo
pounded tho leo ahead of bim with his
t powerful foro feet, and again the ico
yielded.
"During all this time I was shouting
, for help. 1 might, at tho first break,
I have turned and leaped back to shore, but
? had not collected myself in time, ll was
now too late, and oren if it had not been
I wasi i stiifcued by tho casing of leo that
1 couldn't havo moved lo save myself
from death. Tho horse kept oil, and,
strange as tin? atory scorns, broke a chan
nel hs- fifty fe? t across that river, and
drew tho sleigh out safely on the other
Hide. And bc didn't tarry when he got
lhere, bul started off at the lop of his
speed toward our destination. Ile soon
struck tho road and away Wo went. I
know (hat although one danger was es
caped, a greater was before us, and I
urge i tho iior.se on with my voice. My
rohes and clothing had frozen so solid
that if I had been encased in iron 1 could
not have been more motionless. My
li ns?' was a jet black, but his icy co iling
nia<,le him stand out, even in that frozen
mist, like a sjieotcr horne. ? could not
move oven my hands. We wore liol yet
half way to Ibo agent's house w hen I
found myself growing drowsy, l could
no longer use my veice. Tho clavier of
thv' horses' boals and the creaking ?d' tho
runnels oil tho leo sounded to mo Uko
Cnmder claps mid w eird, hideous cries.
I knew that 1 was freezing, but 1 labored
hard lo rouse my will and light with it
against iny fate. Ibo stars looked Uko
great coals of Aro, although before they
could bo scon I mt dimly through tho
peculiar haze. The tl'CCS, with their
branches covered with snow, took on the
Bhapes of gigantic ghosts. Still I pre
served all my powers of reasoning.
Finally I fell myself growing deliciously
warm. A languor, such as Do Quincy
might havo described, with attending
visions of loveliness, took p ?session of
mo. 1 heard tho most delightful music.
Still I made one mental effort tc shako
off this fatal spell, and that was all.
"I don'l kuow how far 1 was from tho
agent's houso wdicn I froze to death, hut
tho next Hiing 1 remembered I was suf
fering such tortures as a victim of tho
rack might feel. Ho never felt worse.
Suddenly, at uiy feet, the pricking of a
million needles assaulted my flesh, Tor
turing mo tit that spot a moment, until I
writhed in agony, it. da.-.lied quickly np
my le;.-, stopped an instant, as if gio;.lim';
in my misery, and ?hen crawled with
that awful pain (-lowly upward, until it
seemed Hint tiny jets of tho fiercest Haine
were being blown into my body, heart
and brain. Ibo intensity of this agony
w;.s not constant. If il had been I would
hav e died again in a short limo, lt carno
in waves, so to speak. Fach wave was
n little less furious than its predecessor,
until al last the storm was passed, and I
found myself a weak, speechless, limp
and helpless mortal, lying on a rolni Ixj
foro the fireplace of my friend, tho agent.
He had brought uio hack to life.
"When I was strong enough to hear it,
ho told nie that ho was awakened in tho
night hy tho peculiar and loud neighing
of a I IO rsc. He looked out of tho window
nnd saw a sight that startled bini-a
ghostly horse ami sleigh and driver in the
road before his door. He recovered him
self and went dow n. Then ho discovered
that tho driver waa dead. Ho quickly
carried tho driver Into thc house, laid
him on the floor liefere the fireplace, and
recognized me. Knowing that even if I
was not beyond all aid, nothing could l>o
done for nie until the robe and clothing
were thawed, ho made the fire hinze and
hurried to tho rescue of Hie faithful and
intelligent horse that had reasoned with
itself that it must stop at tho first houso
it t aino to on that terrible night, and that
life and death depended on it. Hy tho
timo tho horso was cared for I was in
i.ha|M' to Ixi resuscitated in case any mich
thing could bo done. I was stripped and
rublied briskly with snow and snow water
for more than an hom liefere I gavo any
Ovidence that 1 might l>o called hack.
Then another hour was sjient in tho samo
treatment, when a spoonful of brandy
was poured down my throat. After that
tho circulation was started, and my agony
began. That suffering lasted for an hour,
and -well, I can lay this: Freeze lo death
if you want. You'll like it. But don't
lot anybody fetch you to again."-Kow
York Sun.
