So Blondel slung his harp on his shoulder
and travelled from castle to castle on the

One lovely evening, footsore and weary,
he stopped at the foot of steep, rocky Hill,
crowned with sombre,looking pine trees, all
writhed and twisted by the winters storm,
but clustering around the great towers and
buttresses of a massive stone castle, that
lorded over village in the valley beneath
it.

village, and gazed up at the castle. The fat,

tho dealers to look for some call for
them during the fall and winter for
house wear.
Button shoes for both men and wo-
men are much seen in the fall dis
plays in both the dull and shiny leath-

usually have the uppers Of dull finish

soles are heavy and quite extended,
which should not be especially desirable
for winter use, since extension solcs nc
