his race into the blue spaces of the

Elk Knob and the Big- Bald reared j
their blue outlines, and Howard's
Creek, travers ins virgin forests of
pine and hemlock added a gleam of
silver to the panorama.
Using the Boone -Trail Highway as
a director, the birdman pursued his
westward course. Adams postoffice,
the Lovili community and Vilas
slipped backwards, and soon the occupants

Mrs. Dickens having found t'-vo
of the curios together hidden away
