Over the hills and out of the fields
around us mine many voices—the low
chant in the stubble, the bayleg of a'
hound in the far timber, the cry of the
tree toad—a tiny drift of odd thing:4
(like that one sees at sea) on the deep
eternal silence of the heavens. There.
was no sound in the room save the low
creaking of the rocker in esdrich Eliza-
beth sat. After all the golug and com-
ing and doing and sayleg of many
years here was it little spell of silence,
and beyond lay the autried things of
the future. For--me-it was a brae of
reckoning.

The -worst was over. Elizabeth began
to laugh.
At length a strain of song
of the distance:
"Maxweltonss braes are

"It's Hope and Uncle Eb," said Da-
vid, while I went for the lantern.
'Wonder what's Rep' 'em so late?"
'When the lamps .were lit the old
