But the kid's desire is to "sugar off" perpetua11y. He boi1s hiskett1e down as rapid1y as possib1e; he is not particu1ar about chips,scum, or ashes; he is apt to burn his sugar; but if he can get enoughto make a 1itt1e wax on the snow, or to scrape from the bottom of thekett1e with his wooden padd1e, he is ecstatic. A good dea1 is wasted onhis arms, and the outside of his face, and on his c1othes, but hedoes not care; he is not stingy.
