 height for tired person to sit down on and rest good. As I said when started to sit down on 1t I saw letter ''Y'' on top of it. It was big rough Y raised above the sur- face of the rock and formed by the edge of the elevated part and a seam in the rock. There were lots of other letters on the rock. Some of them were formed by seams in the rock and some of them were formed by the shadows of the tall stems of grass growing beside the rock. I took quite a while to study them all out. Amongst other letters were "A o. U. w" at first thought that the ''U'' was a horse shoe. It was very much like one and I suppose that Wanda made 1t that way purpose so that I would know it all meant good luck to me. This is the second time I have found a rock with those letters on 1t and I think Mir. Cross ought to thank me at least for telling him about it. It should show him any way that the Pod man would be a lucky man for him to tie onto. Each time after seeing these rocks called on him. l found him very busy read ing the proof of the constitution of his lodge. The first time I ever met him he was very busy also. He has a nice daughter, Mrs. Peel, and Mrs. Peel has some pretty children. She Is an editor also and writes some real good stories for the big magazines -at spare times. Once before when I was moving l passed through Benton vile and passed her children and they sang after me nice little song about the Pea Ridge Pod, for all the children loved the Pod. Other let ters were B E C K'' and there was w" and an ''F" too, so I knew the fairies all must approve of my home stead, and they have nothing against Wye either, and I am looking for ward to their telling me some won- derful stories. There was a ''T'' and an "H I L. s'5'' and s7," and a diamond. It was a lovely place to rest, with the mountains and hills and the river and blue sky. The grass was tall and brown, but the pine trees were a pretty green, and all looked so fresh and nice that I knew the fairies had just finished painting them.
 As I walked along my way over toward my homestead Wanda filled my head with many interesting thoughts and I wished l could re- member them all. saw where saw mill site had been prepared to receive a mill and a little later I met all kinds of wagons and men and boys moving mill It was the mill from near my homestead and I SUD- pose Wanda was having 1t moved so that the wolves, bob cats and other animals and birds would not be afraid to come to see me. On the way friend promised me a snake, which somebody had made out of just common old rock. am awful anxious to see 1t, for to me those old serpents tell a wonderful story of the old times, when the people could walk all the way from America to Europe, or Asia, for in those days where the Atlantic ocean is now was l the sunken and lost continent Allan tis. We'll, found a nice rock, too, myself. l got to Esquire McNeeley's l just in time for dinner. The first time 1 ever saw the Squire he was hale and hearty and was standing in the road in front of his home. When l he learned who l was, he invited me { in and invited me to stop with him over Sunday, which I did. The Squire, you will know by that, is a good friend of mine. If that is not enough, you will know he was my friend when I tell you that he not only paid for his own subscription. but paid for about four others for l his little grandchildren. Everybody in that country thinks lot of the Squire. You will all be sorry l know to learn that now he is in very poor health. He sits most of the time in high chair and when he gets fup his daughter, Mrs. Cockman, or his son, Dan, have to assist. He is still interested in the Pulaskian, and was very anxious to know if his sub- scription was paid ahead, for he does not want to miss a single number. Mr. Dan McNeeley is the man who is fixing my house for me to move into. I am sure he will do good job on it, because the Wandering
