Shrinking baek from the tvadside stood a small black house with a low forehead abovb two evookcvl glass eyes.-- The dour looked like a long ilat e.haraeterh'ss nose. The t.liin st.ri] of board warped at one end might have been the1 up-twisted mouili of this, painfully n:.''!y monsti:r. A scrubby lilac bush stood just around the corner of the-house. It ha.l spread its long arms across one crooked window as if in haste to hide its ue-imc.vs.

A lean cow-was meditatively serai,cliintr her neck on the top rail of tlie fe ice: while she ga'/.ed hungrily across it at the green leaves of the lilac, btis.li. As we drove up. a face appeared at one of the windows. Presently, a stoop-shonl-d(!T(id. thin woman came out wiping her Lands on her apron. She had patient eyes, quiet ways and was ee.riou'.ly slow of speech. She brought tts water in. a gourd. As we drank, she said.: "Wiiz yer headin" fin- hetvV 1 reelctmed yer might uh ben, bein" •/. there don't meqny kum this road. Kan't. yer 1-n.im in an'se.t suiu/"
