THE TRAIL OF THE
LONESOME PINE

Miss Montell in her Interpretation
Of June. has exactly copied the man.
ner OF dress among the mountain
women June wears a skirt Of red
homespun gathered into round
waist innocent of fitting at the top.
She wears her hair "roached'-comb.
ed back straight. And Ike all he
women mountain folk, June is quiet,
alert, unconscious and therefore en-.
barrassed-a pre-eminently well-bred
"covite's" daughter Her dignity.
like that Of her "pap's." is unassail-
able.
Her religion is that of the eagle
who scars aloft over the serrated
crags that make the horizon Of her
world In spite of the circuit rider
with his preachment of a hell and
never heaven, she learns the story
of the CrucifiXion from the small fairy
stones found in the shapes of crosses
in the hills. she has been taught by
her pap" to consider the heavenly
orbs as animate beings and who sees
in every animal a friend and in the
tree and stone the eternal endowment
OF life.
The superstition of June and her
people is of three kinds. useful,
vicious and innoxious, for instance,
such as built the Pyramids, such as
burned the witches at the stake and
such as suggests to a person the de-
STABILITY of seeing the new moon over
his right shoulder June, however,
has the superstition of the Pharaohs.
for she builds as high as her lonesome
pine a ladder of faith in her daily
communing with her sisters spirit,
which she believes dwells in the tree.
