CHAPTER II.

Spring had come to the Virginia noun
tains. The brown, fertile earth, turned
to the sun by the hand of the plodding
farmers, was full of a fruitful vitality
Long stretches Of green wheat shaded
riotously into the dark gray OF the blue
grass stubble. The indescribable haze of
that slumbrous mountain air hung over
the rolling hills and valleys. 1t was
glorious weather. Days that rivaled each
other in languorous beauty came and
went The soil walked to activity and
the breath OF the mountains was sweet
with the scent of growing things.
Ryder walked out upon the small front
poTticO of his whitewashed cabin and
looked at the mountains. The view from
his house was truly inspiring. In front
lay a somewhat illy-cultivated field Of
wheat shading into the deep yellow of
freshly plOwed burrows beyond. Still
farther on crystal stream plunged in its
headlong course into the valley. By its
side a dozen brood mares grazed con-
teEtedly. -Four or Eve playful colts kicked
Up their heels and trotted about in joy
