JOHN FOX, JR., ON THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE. March was openly gently, and so I should see ii, as the story puts it, giving place with lombre dignity to the passing burst of spring." Past June's boarding-house and John Hale's office my way had led, close to the old shingled school- house where the little girl went to school, and on almost under the shadow of the big beech where was her little play-house.
