The sunshine fell in occasional trem-

places the trees were knit together into
such a close cover that no sunshine
reached in, and the arms OF the forest
seemed to fold US in cold embrace.

OF water, which looked like a huge
emerald, and in whose depths shining
fish dafted or lay in ieweled beauty.

l heard him giving Rob instructions
about not talking or calling in loud
tones, and telling him in such man-to-
man style that / was quite sure he would
have no trouble in managing the lad.
Oh. how vast and still it was! With
a vastness and stiffness that seemed to
mock my very thoughts.
1t seems puerile to say that these
things mock at humanity. "These
things"-these great, sorrowful pines.
These rugged, uplifted rocks and pure,
sparkling waters from some great riven
heart, mock at nothing, even the poorest
thought Of God. They may be SORROW

but think il they could reach out their
great. strong arms they fain would draw
unto themselves all the bruised, the
sorrowful, the world-hurt and give them
balm.

His cheeks were veritable roses of fire,
his cap off, and great rings Of moist gold
hair curled on bis forehead.

Jim went to leave them in the water
while 1 opened and spread out our
luncheon. Phoebe had not overesti-
mated our capacity. Sandwiches and
hard-boiled eggs went down with rel
ish which would be an inestimable
blessing il it would only last.
Think with what a comparative in
difference one could contemplate the
possible inferiority of ones dinner with
an appetite like that.
After we had finished Rob crept over

soon the "Rock-a-by lady from Hush-a-
