She had just obtained her first sight of the mountain rising half a mile or more behind Yew Lodge, and its gran- deur took her breath. “That must be tfie east summit of Mohawk Mountain,” she ex- plained to Julia, pointing toward the peak. “Uncle Herbert described it to me once. He said Mt. Mo- hawk consists of two peaks, with a road in the pass between them. This pond is sunk deep in the hills and it can’t be seen from any main road.” Julia looked uneasily about her. “Does yo' reckon it's damgerous hyar?” she asked. “I ain't look- in’ to be buried alive.”, “Nonsense; there are plenty of near by, hidden in the woods.” Peggy spoke with a confidence she did not altogether feel. “Will you drive into Milton with {me, Julia? I'm going for some pro- visions and gas.” To her surprise, Julia shook her head. Both turned to making prep- arations for Peggy's first visit in the neighborhood, mindful of the stipulation of her uncle’s will that she must not be absent more than an hour at a time. | (Copyright, D.
