Martha had all she could do to hold
him, but hold him she did. dragged
him across the floor to the peg where
hung her birch "a bunch of hazel

She yelled, dropped Ortho and the
birch as if whtie-hot, and gra bbed
her leg. In the skin of the tendon
was imprinted a semi-circle of red
dents-Eli's little sharp teeth marks.
She limped round the kitchen for
some minutes, vowing dreadful
vengeance on the brothers, who, in
the meanwhile, were sitting astride
the yard gate munching the pasty.
The pair slept in the barn for a
couple of nights, and then, judging
the danes wrath to have passed

laugh. 1t was as good as a bear

somehow and lowered her flag for
good. Next day Ortho burnt the
birch with fitting ceremony, and for
some years the brothers ran entirely
wild.
If Martha failed to inspire any re-

stood in certain awe of her daughter

with any housework however simple,
because she could not bring her
mind to 1t for a minute. She had no
control over her mind at all; it was
forever wandering over the Mills and
far away in dark, enchanted places.
But cows she could manage, and
every morning the cows told her
what had passed in the half-world
the night before.
There were two tribes of small
people" in the Keigwin Valley, Buc-

people. At night they issued from a
hollow oak stump, danced in their
green bathrooms, paid visits to dis

against offending mortals. The cows
lying out all night in the marshes,
saw them going and coming. There
were hundreds of them, the cows
said; they wore green jenkins and
red caps and rode rabbits. all but

mounted on white hares. They blew

such and such night the tall Pipers

The stories had one virtue, namely
that they brought the young PEN

The wild valley they roamed so fear
