"I reckon you ull stay fer supper, huh ? I'll stir up the old woman." The tall figure -disappeared within tha door and John looked about him and drew a long breath -of satisfaction. It was a hazy day in late October. The sun was just about to go down behind Bald Ridge and shone red through the mist of autumn. The cabin of Lit Con ger, stood perched on the- hillside, under the shadow of trees, whose arms -were stretched over in leafy benediction- Be hind the house were clusters of farm: buildings, and- fields that sloped down to the: river, and twinkled -here and there through the interlacing boughs-.that lined it banks. A spring trickled out of a crevice in a rock close at hand, and ran into a still pool that, brimmed over aiid flowed across the road in a little stream: A road approached the house, flanked by columns of naming" suiridc bushes.. 'A cow browsed along its stretch of /red huta, her bell "tank-tanking" with the mo tions of her head. A pig lazily scratched his sida against the. gate post, and ex changed greetings: with a lazy hound that ambled out to meet him: Presently the old. man emerged from -the r. house and himself on the bench by. the side" of the visitor. - ."How's politics?", he inquired,, stuff ing, a handful of leaf tobacco into his Pipe..
