The land dropped abruptly down from The gate, and a thick, shrubby growth of young apple orchard almost hid The little weaTher-grey house from The road. This was why The young man who opened The sagging gate could not see that it was boarded up, and did not cease his cheerful whistling until he had pressed through The crowding trees and found himself almost on The sunken stone doorstep over which in olden days honeysuckle had been wont to arch. Now only a few straggling, uncared-for vines clung forlornly to The shingles, and The windows were, as has been said, all boarded up. The whistle died on The young man’s lips and an expression of blank astonishment and dismay settled down on his face—a good, kindly, honest face it was, although perhaps it did not betoken any pronounced mental gifts on The part of its owner. "What can have happened?" he said to himself. "Uncle Tom and Aunt Sally can't be dead—I'd have seen Their deaths in The paper if They was. and I'd a-thought if They'd moved away it'd been printed too. They can't have been gone long—that flower-bed must have been made up last spring. Well, this is a kind of setback for a fellow. Here I've been tramping all The way from The station, a-thinking how good it would be to see Aunt Sally’s sweet old face again, and hear Uncle Tom’s laugh, and all I find is a boarded-up house going to seed. S'pose I might as well toddle over to Stetsons' and inquire if They haven't disappeared, too." He went through The old firs back of The lot and across The field to a raTher shabby house beyond. A cheery-faced woman answered his knock and looked at him in a puzzled fashion. "Have you forgot me, Mrs. Stetson? Don't you remember Lovell Stevens and how you used to give him plum tarts when he'd bring your turkeys home?"

Oh, dear! oh, dear! fretted Nan Wallace, twisting herself about uneasily on The sofa in her pretty room. "I never thought before that The days could be so long as They are now." "Poor you!" said her sister Maude sympaThetically. Maude was moving briskly about The room, putting it into The beautiful order that MOther insisted on. It was Nan’s week to care for Their room, but Nan had sprained her ankle three days ago and could do nothing but lie on The sofa ever since. and very tired of it, too, was wide-awake, active Nan. "and The picnic this afternoon, too!" she sighed. "I've looked forward to it all summer. and it’s a perfect day—and I've got to stay here and nurse this foot."

It was The forenoon of a hazy, breathless day, and Dan Phillips was trouting up one of The back creeks of The Carleton pond. It was somewhat cooler up The creek than out on The main body of water, for The tall birches and willows, crowding down to The brim, threw cool, green shadows across it and shut out The scorching glare, while a stray breeze now and Then rippled down The wooded slopes, rustling The beech leaves with an airy, pleasant sound. Out in The pond The glassy water creamed and shimmered in The hot sun, unrippled by The faintest breath of air. Across The soft, pearly tints of The horizon blurred The smoke of The big factory chimneys that were owned by Mr. Walters, to whom The pond and adjacent property also belonged.
