fore the charge of Balaklava, although
he did not take part in that memor'
able charge. but was present at the
battle Of Inkermann. After the Crimea

The woods are not yet aflame with
color-that will come little later But
they are green and still, breathing
lightly and almost ready to fail asleep.
The trees seem to know that they have
only little time now before beginning
the long winter nap, and in a silent
rapture they are making the most Of
it. A blue, blue haze hangs over the
farther hills, haze that melts slowly

is always there. The sun is shining,
but it is shining gently, with a soft,
golden radiance wholly different from
the fierce heat rays of few weeks
since. The very atmosphere is fairly
like and still, full of mysterious things
and whispering voices that seem to tell
of never-never lands beyond the hazy
hills. Breathing the atmosphere and
basking in the gentle sunlight you are
aped with peace and with feeling
of great restfuness Under the kindly
