mountains. There are so many little sur
prises on the roads; sudden turn will
bring you to the most beautiful little spring
or cascade. indeed, you can hear the fall
of water and the tinklIng OF the c)w> bells
almost constantly. The water Is the purest
and best we ever drank. The frost is on
your glass before it reaches your lips.
To see the brooks ripping along over
stones and pebbles is a great Temptation; it
seems you must get out and wade One Of
our party wished she was a barefoot boy"
but no good fairy came 70 grant her wish
This is a good fruit and vegetable coun-
try. We were given some peaches this
morning that measured ten inches around.
A trip to Tuckaseegee falls occupies two
days. We started out in the hack with one
of our party on Gypsy, q well-known pony
TO Highland visitors On this gentle and
sure-footed little animal we took turns' to
ride. as we wearied Of sitting in the hack.
Through fern-clad valleys, up rocky
mountains, over sparkling streams we jour
ueved. The maple had donned its autumn
suit of red and brown. We all wanted a
tree, but contented ourselves with q few
branches. In June the roadside Is lovely
with the rhododendron or mountain laurel.
Arriving at a farm house we left the
hack and began our walk TO the falls 1t
was a difficult descent. but we were fully
repaid when we came in full view, for they
were so lovely
These falls are the source of the Tennes-
see river On our return we assembled Yell
low mountain, over 5000 feet high. IL is
the most difficult of them all to climb, but
the view is more extended than from any
other point.
An incident occurred during our stay at
the farm house which ID worth relating.
With fivesothers we we're put TO sleep in a
garrett with one little window about foot
square. By the light Of a dim lamp Miss
spied q small flax spinning Wheel
the first she had ever seen. 1t was made Of
walnut, oak and maple, and we were told
afterward 1t had been in use fully twenty
years before the war.
She at once went into raptures over it,
and have it she must. II feel like it is
mine already she said. "Do everybody
help me persuade the owners to sell it,, |
must have it." She retired only to dream
of the spinning wheel Early the next
morning she was up entreating the owner
to sell it TO her. AT last she owned it, and
then we heard nothing but spinning wheel
all the way. Everybody had to make
way for it in the hack. She could talk of
nothing else. Once when passing some
beautiful leaves she exclaimed, 20, look at
those beautiful wheels" Ii is to Ne deco
rated with ribbon and used as an crna-
ment.
There are more lovely falls and beautiful
mountain views, but we have described
enough TO show that a delightful summer
can be spent among these everlasting
hills" and 1t was with regret that farewell
was said by ME.

Allah's name. Hassan, let there be no exc
cutionr
The lockers on, to right and left, raised
a mighty cry ana called out with une voice,
the sheikh The she:kh. Who can have
thus disfigured himp
"But the sAeikh himself came forward in
great pain, like one whose bones ache, and,
dismountiug from the mule, spoke aloud to
the governor. In Allah's name, he said
trembling, let this man go; he is innocent.
l swore TO him falsely, though l believed it
t. be true. For see, last night, about II
o'clock, the self same dog VINO broke into
my house before entered my room with
violence through the open window. He
carried in his hands the self same stick as
last time, and had his face covered, as
ever, WITH O linen cloth. And knew by
his figure and his voice he was the very
same dog that had previously beaten me.
But before | could cry aloud TO rouse the
house the infidel tad fallen upon me once
more and thwacked me, as you see, within
an inch of my life, and covered me with
bruises, and then bid me take care
how accused innocent people like Ath-
anasio Of hurting me. And after that he
jumped through the open window and went
away once more. And | was greatly afraid,
fearing the wrath of Allah, if let this man
Athanasio be killed in his stead, though he
is but an infidel. Aud / rose and saddled
my mule very early, aud rode straight into
Assioari to tell you and the cadi that had
borne false witness, and to save myself
from the guilt of an innocent soul upon my
shoulders
Then all the people around cried out
with one voice, "A miracle! a miracle! And
the sbelkh stood trembling beside, with
faintness and with terror.
{" But the governor drew me a few PAGES
apart.
80 Athanasio, you rascal, he said, half
laughing, it is you that have done this
thing! 1t is you that have assaulted him!
You got out last night on your word OF
honor on purpose TO play this scurvy trick
upon u.s.
- Effendi,' l made answer, bowling low,
life is sweet; he beat me. unjustly, first,
and he would have taken my Laila from
me- Moreover, l swear to you. by st.
George and the mother of God, when | left
the prison last night L really believed my
father was dying
THE governor laughed again. Well,
you can go. you rogue he said. The cadi
will soon come around to deliver you. But
l advise you to make yourself scarce as fast
as you can, for sooner or later this trick Of
yours may be discovered. | can't tell
upon you or l would lose my place. But
