grounds with their fine old trees were
there and wild flowers were blooming
In profusion, but the place seemed to
be deserted. No ons replied to repeated
knocks at the door of the homestead,
and as the visitors did not know where
they could obtain water thoy decided

by that time decided to try to find II
picnicking spot somewhere else.
a About a mile out of Kenneth is a
comfortable farmhouse, surrounded by

Prof. Woodrutf's son. With greatest hos
s pitality the visitors were made to fee
