The most celebrated rocking stone
in England is that known as the Lo-
gan, Logan or Logging stone. 1t is
situated on the summit of Il bold
promoutory Of granite about eleven
miles from Lands End, in Mounts
bay, Cornwall. 1t is estimated TO
weigh about snety tons Yet it is SO
Yicely balanced that a child can move
It with one hand The pivot upon
which the stone rests is small, hard
protrusiOn, on all sides Of which the
whole surrounding surface has worn
away, leaving the enormous bowlder
standing upon narrow neck so eX-
actly and evenly poised that a touch
sets the whole mass to rocking. III
the legendary lore of Pcnzancc there is
q prophecy to the effect that the LOGAN
stone will stand until the day of the
end of the world, when it will fall of
its own accord just before ana as
token of the ending of all earthly
things. Several years ago Il young
English lieutenant, who did not be-
lieve in prophecies, hired force Of
men, who repaired to the spot and with
ropes, crowbars and levers threw the
great stone from its pinnacle. When
the authorities heard of the destruction
Of the old landmark they forced the
young officer at great expense to re-
place the stone just as he had found it.
Some claim that the poisc is not SO
equal now as 1t was before the incident
just related

thlh@s according to the light her con
science dictated, but her resolutions
were not as strong as the nature hand
ed down by half dozen generations
Of ancestors. At the end Of a month
she had gone to her brother and asked
for her share Of the property. so that
she might go off and live by herself
At first he had been incraduIous. tlen
sarcastic. Their father had EXPRESSED
4 hope that the property would not be
divided, he had told her, ana besides
he could not let her have her share
without selling the homestead. and he
would not do that. And. furthermore.
he had advanced the unnecessary ar
gument that she was 100 old TO live by
herself. She had WINGED little at this
thrust. 1t sounded so like the b.iStIing
assertions of the conqueroT that she
turned away hurt and silenced.
But ii was true, she told herself re
mOFSeleSSly. She was getting to be
quite an old woman. And she went to
the glass TO OveTwhclm her worldlinesS
with proof of the fact, but somehow
the glass did not carry out the sentence
of the assertion. Her skin was still
soft, and her cheeks had the same deli
cate flush that had made her belle
in the farOff days of her girlhood, and
there was not single gray intruder
among all the glossy brown hair that
was cOiled and massed upon her head.
She was thinking of her future now
as she sat under the grapevine arbOr
listening TO the self asscrtive work of
the cOnqucrOr in the kitchen and obliv-
ious of the persuasive twittering at
her side. Deep down in her heart she
was trying TO steel herself to some
thing desperate. to go away, to seek
employment-auything If her brother
would not give up her share of the
property she would surely he able to
earn living somewhere.
\ quick step on the gravel walk
brought her eyes from the needles and
her thoughts from the future.
