Down came Karl closely followed by a basket of corn from a slide upon the back of 'a hog, who startled by such unusual weight, raised a loud squeal and scampered off leaving Karl in a heap upon the ground. A loud laugh came from behind the corn crib which indicated that Billtand Tom were the perpetrators of ths swift descent. They had put two greased boards upon the stairs which led to the pig pen and when Karl went to feed. the hogs they thought it wouldsbe great sport to see him slide. - I The bewildered Karl collected himself and when he heard the, boys laughing he called after them, You just wait, Iill get even with you yet. - - Bill and Tom Nolan were great mischief makers and nothing pleased them more than to have a laugh at some one's expense.
