/ Great Stone Face

The White Mountains are up in New England
as you may know and If you will turn to tla4
maps in your geography you win find Them
running IN a general northerly direction righb
through the State of New Hampshire. They
are not very high, these mountains Of the
Granite State, not nearly so high and rugged
as are the gigantic cliffs in Western Canada and
in the Rockies, but they are among the most
beautiful in North America, and their green
slopes, quaint villages and grotesquely carved
forms have inspired many a song, poem OF
story IN the minds Of those who have viewed
their charms.
One Of the queerest of the rocky cliffs thay
abound in this region is near the so-calleQ
Franconian Notch and when you look upwards
high above the valley in which you are STANG
ing, you will be amazed to see what you think

is the carved face Of q man. So strikingl1
similar to a male profile is this curious bit %
rock that you might believe it to have been
the work Of some ancient artist The early
Indians thought it was so, and they held many
superstitious beliefs regarding this great stOEA
face Of the mountains.
It was made, however, not by human hand4
but by the forces Of Nature, the Winds tho
sands and waters that for many hundred years
have been carving these rocky hills into an
sorts Of fantastic forms. But as it stands there
silently overlooking the picturesque regions d
valleys, glens, waterfalls, brooks and lakes, n
seems the very guardian Of the land, watching
over It night and day In its grim and Lofty
solitude.
Nathaniel Hawthorne visited here often many
years ago, and it was here that he received hM

Jack. Hes enough to scare you, Just looking
at him. He has a long beard, he dresses IN

Keith suddenly clutched Jacks arm. "LookI"
he cried. Somebody Is coming out of that barn
by the swamp"
ITS Duncanl" gasped Jack. What in the
world Is he carrying?"
With startled eyes the boys watched the figure
that had just emerged from one Of the build
ings The figure was that Of man of uncertain
age, dressed in clothes that barely were able to
cling TO his lean frame. With downcast eyes
and bent shoulders he turned his steps toward
the swamp and plodded straight into the first
low bushes that marked its borders.
Hes got a spade on his shoulder" cried
Keith. And that looks like a roll Of canvas
under his arm. But what in the world is that
other thing? It's something made Of white
wood"
Jack uttered low cry. tits cross, Keith
A cross such as they put up on gravesl'
Fascinated, they watched the man disappear
behind the bushes Of the swamp. Then Keith
stirred.

OVER In the dark swamp it appeared again.
- just az Keith had seen it few moments
before. It was q crafty dancing beacon that
fitted in and out of view, never visible long.
Now that he was no longer alone, Keith felt
none Of the fear that had gripped him earlier
in the darkened room. In its place was an
immense curiosity about Mournful Swamp and
an intense desire to solve its mystery.
Let's 30 over theFe!" he burst out. Let's
find out what this means
Mr.. Taggart slowly turned his head and
looked at the boy. "You must be crazy, Keith"
he said solemnly. "There are some things in
this world that are far better left alone. You

Mournful Swamp. If you hear that noise again
cover your ears with the blankets and don't
listen"
With that he stalked from the room. Jack,
after q moments hesitation, gave Keith a
doubtful grin, and followed his father.
Keith got back In bed, for it was far from
comfortable IN the chilly room, scantily clad
as he was. And again his thoughts were busy,
but this time they were busy with plans and
not with vague fears. Before he dropped
asleep he had firmly resolved upon course Of
action.
completed on the following day Jacks
father gave him permission to entertain Keith
in any way that he chose. Keith said he would
like to take tramp over the nearby country,
and so the two boys set out with Major, Jacks
