and simply interested manner. For few
moments there was n touch OF shvness about
her, but this soon disappeared as she became
interested in conversation, and she talked
very fluentlY of travel and scenery and the
c)mmonpaces OF the day. She particularly
admired Bar Harbor, and thought the combi.

of her native Tennessee mountains, however,

Il was in the flush and glow of go:-
geous sunset hat on might have seen the
dark form of the Pitkn farmhouse rising
on green hill against the orange sky.
The red house, wit its Oyerhanging

Through the glimmcr of the yellow twi-
light might be seen thes acks OF dry corn

the neghb ring fields from which the
slow oxen were bringing home cart we'll
laden with farm produce.
Ii was the hour before Supger-time, and

and no paper TO usc it on. lie was a

tiOnary of all the affairs Of the good folks
at Napoleon. He knew every piece Of
furniture in their houses, an what they
gave for it; every foot OF land an what
it was worth; every OK. ass and sheep:
every man, woman and child in town. And
Bah could give pretty good character
pictures also, an whoever wanted TO in

or thing in Mapleton would have done well
