that 1 viewed tho Holds ami woods, for

I was leaving them, anil every tree beckoned to me, and whispered: "Stay stay until the frost has turned our leaves until November gales have stripped us bare, until we hide beneath

tho thick white snow, until tne spring comes slowly up our way." I wondered if I would stay if I could; whether, if all the world were before tuc, I w uld choose to pHl my tent on fomo solitary beach ot 'Mthin sound of the soughing pine "Was not my longing horn of a comfortable contentment.-' "Was I not in my heart of hearts downright "lad to Ikj going back to the town, to" inv friend?, my work, my winUr pleasures? A great clump of tmuiMCh burnt red in a little hollow, and my thoughts jumped to the rc.dmg-rooni of my club, to a deep crimson arm-chair by the open lire, and in an instant tho rumble of the train sounded like the laden omnibuses toiling over the citv street.

Evidently he was about to start on a journey, for he carried a satch'-l which was as new and iihining as his tall Mlk hat.
