Farther and farther tho train left the city
behind more and more desolate the country
appeared. II was late October; all crops had
been harvested, and many trees had shed all
their leaves; the only green was that Of grass
and evergreens, tho latter looking almost

ef twa'nt for your fathers mouth an chin"
Then the rustic deliberately gathered his feet
and knees into his seat, and twisted his body
until his shoulders were almost squared to tho
rear Of the car, his whole air being that OF
man who had suddenly found a Job greatly to
his liking, and one 10 which he intended at
