At the threshold, with the saddle

IN his hand, he paused His uncle stood
at his elbow and the boy put out his

that he was saying farewell to a SOL

the centered power of an isolated
heart.

halted and dismounted There in a
small cove, surrounded by a. tangle Of
briers and blackberry bushes stood a
small and dilapidated meeting house"
and churchvard which he must visit,
