There are two bare streaks OF sand
or clay which wheels have worn. In
tho middle is path worn bare by the
hoofs Of horse. Between the wheel
tracks and the hoof path are broad
strips OF heritage. happy green In
summer and sad brown in winter.
In summer these green strips are OF
grass, from among whose blades
spring Queen Ann's lace and those
dusty little shrubs which We call
narrow -leaved ragweed. There will
also be bright green rosettes OF
broadleaf plantain. Along each side
OF this narrow way Is rail fence.
over which Virginia creeper, and
trumpet vine are climbing and bloom
ing. Along the way one passes sassa-
fras trees, black walnut tree and
old and decaying cherry trees that In
spite Of their decrepitude and neglect
continue to bring forth each spring
"red heart" or "black-heart" cherries.
At the other end of the way Is a
gate which opens into a big yard
surrounded by q white paling fence.
In that garden grow big bushes OF
dark green box that seem very
solemn, stately and aristocratic.
There are also some tall althea
shrubs, without which no old-f fash
Toned garden seems to be able to get
along. Then, too. there are big lilac
bushes, loose and disheveled In their
habit of growth. but gorgeous in
color and Of enchanting fragrance
when in bloom. Among all this
greenery is a house. Across it's front
reaches q deep porch, with round
white pillars. That road which leads
from the old gray gate between the
heavy square oak posts to the white
paling fence around the garden Of
box and liiacs Is a lane. 1t Is the
kind Of lane which every man or
woman knew IN boyhood or girlhood
in the Potomac valley, or the valley
OF the Patuxent, the Rappahannock

Well. perhaps Persimmon Tree lane
was that kind OF a country way once
upon a time. but 1t is road now
and the condition Of it's bed and the
shrubbery along its sides indicate that
1t has been O public road q good
many years. OF course. 1t was called
Persimmon Tree lane because a per-
simmon tree was a conspicuous fea-
ture along Its course. or because those
rough-barked and sturdy trees were
more numerous than any other kind
Of trees along the trail. 1t is not re-
markable for persimmon trees now.
The Rambler did not see one. From
that statement the reader should
know that the Rambler was In a part
Of the country north or west of WASH
