He looked grave in moment and kissed
be gently on the forehead.
"See, we are drifting into the brush, "
Be said, and picked up his oars again. The
pines grew taller and the forest denser as
nc advanced, until, beneath water oak,
pgnarIed and bent that its branches almost
dipped in the water, appeared a path lead
M up into the forest. Tom rested
nonent on his oars.

leaves when we have wept our little hearts
out under tree" And he laughed louder
than before.
Tom" I said, reproyingly, q never
knew man as old as you to be such per-
feet child. Babes in the woods indeed
my head is not filled with such trash. We
are-oh, miles from home, aren't we 2" /
asked, another little nervous shiver running
over me.
F." Yes, miles-two of them," he said,
taking one of my ice-cold hands in his great
big one and smiling mischieyously. "You
are scared half to death, poor little kitten,
and you were going to have such fun find
ing the end Of this mysterious path; there
is really nothing here to hurt you and I am
with YOU"
looked up at him and laughed. I
afraid when Tom was with me-ridicu-
lous!
The path wound in and out beneath
huge pines and around moss recovered rocks;
last years hickory nuts and chestnut burrs
lay scattered all around, and now and then
squirrel .scampered up tree before us;
the birds were chipping and twittering all
around, hard at work on their cozy little
homes; a sauoy catbird hoped in the path
before us and, picking.a tutt of moss, flew
up in chinaberry tree that perfumed the
air with its great clusters of tiny lilac
flowers.
Hasn't that saucy little fellow selected
sweet home," Tom said, pointing to the
half-fnished nest. eve must be near the
end Of this path, for there are no china
trees until we get there"
Chow do you know" I asked.
ooh, | have been here many time
hunting; know we'll how it looks" he
said. Walk faster for there is going to be
storm and let's try and reach the cabin"
A rustic and soughing went through the
pines; a sharp wind blew the dead leaves
up at our feet and the azaleas bent beneath
their burden Of pink blossoms. There was
a bright flash and distant rumbling thunder,
and the pines and chestnuts creaked and
groaned and threw their branches wildly
about. I looked at Tom; eve are going
to have a storm in good earnest, so let's
run" and away we went, the lightning
growing brighter and the thunder louder
and nearer every minute. Soon we came
to rail fence that enclosed a tumble down
looking log cabin. Tom 8prang over it
and lifted me after him. | shivered, for
Arkansas ladies' journal. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1884-1886, 1885-06-13


Il am coming" ]. said; 'but whata funny
old place"
Two or three half decayed peach trees
grew against the wall of the cabin, whence
all the chinking had long since fallen out
and the stone chimney was overun with
luxurant vine; few droRs ofrain fell and
| ran in the door. Tom finished breaking
up the wood and felt in his pocket for
match, and soon the fat pine was sending
broad flames up the wide-mouthed chin
ney. We found an old box in one corner.
which made nice seat, and Tom told me
| might as well make myself comfortable
for he did not know when the storm would
be over.
"1t is almost night, isn't it Tom~ I
asked.
Why, are you hungry? It is not near
dinner time," he said.
The rain was falling in torrents and one
deafening peal of thunder after another
shook the cabin; at every one started
nervousl y and covered my face with my
hands.
"There is not bit of DANGER" Tom
said " the trees stand at safe distance to
protect us from lightning, and there is no
danger whatever from the wind"
ooh, Tom, if I had only listened to you
and gone home I cried.
+" We would have been caught in the
Storm" he said; "and here we are safe; 50
don't worry your dear little head for
nothing"
Tom never reproached anyone in his life,
and | deserved a good scolding, for | alone
