Positively I felt the old fellow
shrug his shoulders and
make a face
"It was just a couple of
years ago when I realized fully
that the days of my personal
retirement were over. There
were two or three men who
kept coming up over and over
agin, and then they brought
the surveyors, and I began to
hear them planning what they
meant to do?a motor road
right up to my very summit!
A club house, cottages, golf
course, swimming pool. I just
shook with wrath and excitement.
What right had they to
take away my seclusion and
make me share my beauty
spots with folks I did not
know?
It has taken them some
time? but I have to admit
they have done it. They had
to get across little old Piney
and Vaughan's Gap before they
even approached me ? but I
could feel them coming nearer
and nearer. There were roaring
blasts and rattling trucks
and men's voices and the tramp
tramp of mules. Finally they
tackled my sides, and day after

to my summit. I'll say I gave
them a run for their money"?
again the old fellow gave a
sly chuckle?"but at last I had
to admit they had won. The
road was at the top?right in
my own private, intimate territory."

Th? sounds of Tiilman beings
when they are friendly and industrious
and have no meanness
in them are rather companionable,
and after a while I
was lonesoipe at night when
they went Away and sort of
warm and glad in the morning
when they came to work
again."
"How do you like all these
parties of people coming, now
that the chib house and the
swimming pool and the golf
course and tennis courts are
I done?" I asked him- "Did you
I count on having such continuous
company,"
"That," said the old chap- almost
humbly, "was all a part
of the slow change in me, I
suppose. As a matter of fact, I
really like it. They all seem to
appreciate what they find up
here, and, of course, almost
anybody?even a grumpy old
recluse of a mountain?likes to
be told how beautiful he is and
what lovely sights can be seen
wonderful achievement. He just
mountains can offer as much
as I can in the way of views of
I of my neighbor mountains?
Paris Mountain, Bushy Ridge,
Glassy Rocks and even a
glimpse of the big boys, Mitchell
and Pisgah and the Blacks.
Then there are people who prefer
to look out over the South
Carolina plains, and the panorama
I furnish is unbeatable
for beauty."
"Then you really do not mind
these gay crowds?"
"No, I enjoy their good
times, too. Laughter is a pleasant
noise, and even the music
when they dance has a pretty
sound. I never thoght I'd like
this stuff they call jazz, but it
is all right when diluted with
mountain breeezes."
"I hear them say the swimming
pool is fine. It ought to
be. They have used some of
the best and freshest of my
mountain brooks to fill it- and
the golf course?they call it
sporty?that does not mean
much to me I've only noticed
that fellow they call 'Bill' and
another name that's unpronouncable
from New York
seems to think it is a most
wonderful achievement. He just
goes all over those 'tees' and
'greens,' patting them as
thought he loved them like his
own folks."

I would have been more than j

himself slowly into the valleys
