trail back, he turned to me with a grin 
on his good-natured, stubble-covered 
red face. 
AY, son, I’d like to be in at the lay- 
ing of the corner-stone of this 
building.” 
, “You may, if you want to, Bob. See 
‘that big rock over there? That’s go- 
‘ing below one of the sills—at the north- 
-east corner. Want to put it in place?” 
| This I said jokingly, for the rock 
-was a big one, and I had not thought 
of moving it until Bob had spoken. 
_ Bob looked at me and laughed. 
“Just show me where you want it, 
young fellow, and how you want it set. 
It’s a bit large, but it has a nice, flat 
top and will do fine for what you 
‘ want.” 
_ Then, seeing that Bob Young was in 
earnest, I pointed out the spot where 
I wanted the rock set, and said I would 
help him with it. But he waved me 
‘aside, and went and straddled the 
/rock, feeling below it to find a finger- 
‘hold. Then, slowly, he raised himself, 
‘his face becoming redder than ever, 
‘and the rock came up from the leaf- 
‘mould and earth that had surrounded 
it. Pacing very slowly, Bob came for- 
ward with his burden, and dropped it 
close to where I had set a peg. 
“THERE you are, son. Now, let’s 
set it in position, and then I must 
be off.”

So I took a rule and measured the For Touring - Hunting - Fishing Trips 
height of the rock, and found I would 
have to sink it several inches into the 
earth. And while I dug away the 
earth Bob stood with his hand in his 
)pockets and watched—and smoked 
meditatively. 
“There are certain ceremonies usu- 
ally performed at the laying of a cor- 
mer-stone. I wonder, now—” 
He sat down on the lumber pile an 
envelope from his pocket, and with the 
stump of a lead-pencil he began to 
‘seribble. 
“All ready, Bob?” 
' “Just a minute, son. This building 
is going up in orthodox style.” 
I waited, wondering. Then this 
rough-looking wagon-driver got up and 
approached the hole I had made. 
_ “Stand on the opposite side, young 
‘man—and look serious while I make the 
oration.” 
So, falling into the spirit of the 
thing, I placed myself where Bob told 
me. 
N OW, standing erect, he looked about 
him at the tree-trunks, and spoke 
as if he were addressing a large assem- | 1055 No. Meridian St. 
bly. And, as he spoke, my boyish soul re- 
Sponded to the vigorous tones of his 
Voice, to the dignity of his bearing and 
to the beauty of his words. I would I 
‘could recall his short oration, word for 
word. In substance it ran tice this:
