A wagon drawn by t wo mule® was cross-
ing tin* track below the rullvray station at
Shelbvv'.Jie It was used for hauling
earth, and us low Bides and boarv wheels
were palnltxi thickly with clay, whose dull
reddish hue fell In with the swart tints at
the unties, and took a brighter color from
contrast witrb the faded blue Jean clothes
of the driver
Be sat slouching for wan! on the seat, a
man of years enough to have his sandy
hair grizzled and his templea tracked
sharply beyond the opaque looking blue
eyes net deeply in the leathern yellow of
his genial fare '•
One cheek fell in between staring cheek
bone and ponderous jaw like a curled
beech leaf of winter; the other bulged
over a piece of tobacco whose presence did
not hinder the song that broke In cracked
melody from the driver's scooped undor

Ho beat the dolorous measure of the
hymn on the mules' backs with loosely
beld reins to whose slight motion they
gave no Ueed, unlmtlng and unresting
lh#y addressed themselves to their task,
their solemn, tan colored noses uodding
confidentially at the ground, their tall
ears faniuug the soft air everhead
It was a morniug 'toward the height of
April, across the lifted arcb of blue sky a
light wind was herding a flock of furry
little clouds The magic of a few warm
day? had frothed the silver poplars In
starry foliage, maples along the road were
alert with small honey dipped foliage,and
here and there a bush showed itself strung
with pale green beads
As the wagon wont on. springing Im-
pulse ol the year seemed to stir In Duke
Uunyan s Wood, for he squared himself to
un upright attitude, and having told the
mules they were too lazy to get out of
their tracks, ho began a tender lay, whoso

bricked walk to the gate wore a fictitious

it on Saturday mornings at 8 precisely of
the clock
This reddening process had not kept
