Valleys festival. Crowds hurried toward
the old mill.
FulLwell they knew that with the clos Q
of the carnival Marin's treasured land
mark, the little brown log structure, after
which had been named not only little
city, but an entire valley, would forever
remain silent, until the action of winter
rains and summer winds had crumbled it
into atoms.
+ 1t was not long before two other special
trains packed with passengers came to a
standstill at Mill Valley. and then moth
ing was necessary to inaugurate the fete
but the nod of the director.
They had not long to wait, however, as
promptly at $50 P. NJ. the swish of rockets
and the bursting of star bombs high above
the lofty redwoods marked the opening
scene of the carnival.
Every one was contented; every one was
pleased. The good-natured crowd jostled
and skurried past one another in their
anxiety to see all that was happening and
all that was to happen.
A slight rumbling notified the visitors
that the mill had made its first turn for
many years. 1t turned and creaked mer-
rily, but the buzz of the saw, the shouts of
the woodmen and the sound of the ak
were all absent
1t was making heroic effort to uphold
the reputation it had gained many years
ago, but appeared to almost feel that all
was not as it should be.
At last torch was applied to the fuse
leading to the fireworks attached to the
wheel. 1t buzzed faster and faster. Red,
green, blue and white fame sizzled and
bombs exploded. The powder had done
its work in few minutes, and the mill
was doomed to everlasting inactivity.

A WOODLAND THEATER.
Something About the Picturesque
Entertainment by the Mill Val
ley Country Club.


The Mill Valley Country Club could not
have chosen more picturesque spot for a
theatrical performance. 1t was natural
theater among the trees. For gallery
posts there were the tall, straight trunks
of slender redwoods, for a proscenium
arch curved branches and for roof lofty
boughs, frescoed, in the afternoon. with
spots of sunshine darting back and forth
across the undulating dome.
There was weirdness. too, about this
theater of nature not possessed by any
other place i'll the vicinity. 1t could be
both seen and felt. The thick trees and
foliage shut out the light of day. 1t was
as gloomy there almost as any cavern OF
old Mount Tar1alpais. Fancy ran to RIP
Van Winkle' and hobgoblins One almost
expected to see the little dwarfs with
balls and pins spring ont from behind the
trees and start a game OF tenpins. The
only thing lacking was the light of the
moon, the wilI-o -the-wisp and the echoing
laughter. Instinctively one looked around
for the sleeping Rip and his faithful dog.
But however strong Fancy's wings may
be and to whatever heights she scars she
must return to earth and things that are
real. In this instance Fancy had her
ter's hammer busy in the construction OF
a stage between group OF .redwoods at
one side, and by ordinations Of delight
from the many spectators
The prospective OF the stage was black,
and in the center curtain that was per-
fectly white made pleasing contrast.
