A sickeningfeeling of hornesichness was settling over me, and my one com- forting thougbtwas that Aunt "Delilah might possibly fail to take the same View of the case that Ihad, and would send us directlyhdme. I was vainly trying to rally my courage when the stage stopped in the dreariest place imaginable, At first glance` I saw no- house ; but the old man directed me to take a lane at my left, andI would soon come to it. The building was partly out of sight over the brow of an hill, the roof only being visible from the street. He kindly took down the bars which barricaded the entrance l to the lane; and, thanking him for his trouble, 1 took Robbie by the hand and 1 walked over the hull. ` The next morning, ` making a pre- tense of taking Robbie outefor a wallr, I concealed in small traveling bag under my shawl ; and so we set out out on .our journey.

We saw nothing but bleak elds, lonely woods, and now and then a solitary farmhouse. The elds were covered with broad patches of rock.sbe- tween the crevices of which grew a wilderness of bayberry bushes, whose thick, stubby growth gave the country a look of indescribable melancholy. As we went onward the signs of human life and settlement grew less and less' frequent, and nally, unable any long- er to endure the tertible sense of lone liness which was creeping over me, I ventured to ask the driver if he was sure that we were on the right road .7 u nIT..nI L- ..-_.,--_:l-_n L- ,_- _ . .... ...._, ....__, -- -..- ........-.. -......

The house stood in a hollow, and the snow had drifted down from the neighboring hills, making escape impossible. In my agony I had no hope that my iriends would nd us out; I had covered our tracks too cleverly.
