He looked north to where clouds were shutting down over the Mountain, gray to-day, not blue. The Mountain, every one called it, for it closed the valley and towered, a sentinel, far above all other mountains in view.

The firelight was dancing on the walls. Sister Edith was talking gayly to neighbors who were standing near the door, and May Nell was snuggled beside his mother on the couch, the great yellow cat, or a part of him, sprawling on her small lap.,“I sorter hoped Moses’d take arter Uncle Josh, too,” she said, regretfully.,Jimmy was the first to stand and cheer.,Behind the two women trotted a chubby baby. “I see Billy boat,” he cried, shrilly, stumbled, fell, scrambled up again, and repeated his refrain.,“He must have gone to Clarence in the barn,” concluded Maria, setting off at a run.,“But you said you would take me to him.
