Morgan had eaten his. supper, washed the dishes and sat down to read a book. He read until nearly nine o'clock when he went to bed as he was very tired from his days work. He decided to hang up his socks over the fire place, although he knew no one could be near his cabin. He then got into one of the soft bunks. In the morning when he awoke he looked to see if the fire had die. down during the night and to his surprise he saw his socks full to the brim with fruit and candy. He jumped out of bed and looked about to see who had been playing tricks on him, but he saw no 'one. As he looked towards the second bunk he he heard a snicker. Whom should he find but Pierre hidden beneath the blankets. Morgan pulled him out and then ate breakfast Pierre had brought him some presents, being a rifle, ammunition and some books. Morgan had made a bat of raccoon fur, a pair of muskrat gloves .and a Pair of snowshor They were very well pleased with their presents.
