What If some of his dreams didn't

turned back to the letter.
"D'y know" 1t went on. "that it's

She laid down the letter. and again
looked out toward Wilder's ledge
where they were cutting. 1t was an
irridescent day, aud the snow glittered
blue-white in the sunshine. The Jag

purple above the white fields, zig
gagged by dark rail fences.
Even as she looked, one of the great
pines on the top of the ledge seemed
to topple and disappear.
