again would the stored glory of the
ring be the same to me. Perhaps my
first intimation of impending disaster
came from an excess Of lilac fragrance
along the route. The Kansas heaven
with puritanic clouds of glory still
trailing was empurpled and over
whelmed with the perfume that was
lilac. AS through a celestial gas attack
we struggled ahead toward a great
house that appeared to crouch, like a
boxer in the ring, amid an ancient
wood
Here was my first mistake On closer
view the house did not crouch. 1t stood
forward with welcoming white pillars,
spacious porches, comfort and hospi-
tality written all over it. I had ex-
pected lions den and found dove

Instead, signs of enervating harmony
everywhere multiplied. A couple of
black and white calves stuck their
tongues out at us as we passed, not in
dersion, but with what looked like
heartfelt affection for us. Two tame
deer stood near by chewing alfalfa hay
with a "this-beats- the-range" look on
their faces. Pigs, ducks, chickens,
cows, horses, filled the barnyard and
overhowed into a quilted pasture
Guinea hens were holding a plenary
session in the barn. White rabbits
twirled their ears at US and wiggled
their whiskers at pair of pheasants.
