A LITTLE ~
MOUNTAIN MAID. X
.....BY MARY TRACY EARLE.

THE great mountains peered over
one another's shoulders and
watched Georgia Blount at her play
Bald Top, Crabs Claw and Old ,Surly
stood nearest; sometimes they seemed
SO near that Georgia could talk to
them; and when low-hanging cloud
shut them out of sight, or the blue au-
tumn haze yelled them softly and held
them aloof from her, shst felt as other
children feel when the.r friends turn
away or refuse to tell v hat the thoughts
are in their eyes.
A gnarled tree grew at the foot of
the bluff which lifted the big dome of
Copper Head abo>e e the mountain side,
and between the roots of this tree
Georgia had her play house. Day in
and day out no one ever came in sight
of it except the mountains, but Georgia
was never lonely. In the mornings she
had to take all her dolls out of their
beds of moss and dress them in fresh
gowns OF summer or autumn leaves, or
in stiff, fringy costumes ofpine needles.
She was very much in earnest about her
DOLLS and yet she sometimes clapped her
hands and laughed when they were
dressed and leaning in long row
against one of the roots, they made such
an elfin company. Some of them had
nuts for heads and some of them had
acorns. Some of them had been made
out of dry, rounded receptacles of a
composite flower from which the florets
had fallen and the winged seeds flown
away, leaving only the circle of bracts
for collar, and brittle stem with two
branches, from which the flower ends
had been nipped off, for arms. These
were the most fragile of Georgia's chill
dren, and it took most skillful hand
to keep their toilets without swapping
their necks, or their bodies or their
limbs. Georgia could do it, for she
loved them, and she had been dressing
them ever since she was big enough to
wander off by herself up the mountains
side, and through the forest which sep
arated the home clearing from the rug
ged, bowlder-strewn slope below the
playhouse tree and the rock walls of
the dome. ~ -.
Georgia was much bigger now than
when she had begun to fashion dolls
for herself with chubby, awkward fin
gers; she was so much bigger, indeed,
that she was II years old; she might
have thought that she was growing up
if there had been anyone to suggest it
to her; but she had seen no other chill
dren growing up, and the mountains
. did not tell her, for they themselves
had taken SO long to grow that it never
occurred to them that she would not
continue to be little girl for centuries
and centuries to come. She had work
to do at home now, and that was an in
terruption; yet every day, before or.
after work, she managed to slip off to-
ward the forest path.
Among her dolls there was one made
of corncob, and far larger than the
others, and this one Georgia dressed{as
man. He was a very wicked Stocking
doll, having deep black eyes and nose
and mouth which she had burned into
his head with hot iron nail; and it was
& because he was so different from the
rest that she had named him the fur
