He bad a aidie upon hit aim. 1 a ur it wa a aad die. l'crbapa be bad au rrtaud lo do. Kre long, I tuteted the wood, and found it thick aud gloomy. The path waa plain ei.ougb, and bad etidititly beeu oi.ee a tiavtlril road. Ayu I rum-inhered, now, of having t.'.trd my iulormaut ot the uooi lide r-peak tf the "old road." He taid ihere ucd to be a road leading to Uock Uiver, but when Foater comturuced hi utt t le rue tit, a new red w opened by the stream, and the old. cue di-coiitinocd.

Then, .tbia road I believed I had been deceived. There bad heeu no freshet to c-irry a-ay brii'gua, for it wa now ear ly Autumn, and tho titer road had been trati-led all summer.
