The Wall Between" by sara
Ware Bassett Is another Romeo and
Juliet story, only with a New Eng
land conscience. IN this incident,
there is a wall between two farms
which neither Of two families Will

wall and a strong man, the other.
The only conclusion possible is that

troper amount of fruit cake and ap-
/ pie sauce.
