Our barn stood at the top of the hill near the bush, and in a trap set for such "small deer," we often caught from ten to twelve a-day. The flesh of the black squirrel is equal to that of the rabbit, and the red, and even the little chissmunk, is palatable when nicely cooked. But from the lake, during the summer, we derived the larger portion of our food.
The squirrel and chissmunk occasionally bounded across our path; the dazzling snow which covered it reflected the branches above us in an endless variety of dancing shadows. Our spirits rose in proportion. Young C burst out singing, and Emilia and I laughed and chatted as we bounded along our narrow road.
I screamed to my champion for help; but where was he? running like a frightened chissmunk along the fallen timber, shouting to my eldest girl, at the top of his voice, "Run, Katty, run! The bull, the bull! Run, Katty! The bull, the bull!" leaving us poor creatures far behind in the chase.
