And it came to pass on a time
that a woman lay in a ward of an
hospital, whose feet had passed
nigh unto the waters of the river
of Death. They had turned back
to tread again the ways of this
world, but her soul was sick with
in her,1ouging for the breath of the
everlasting hills, and one said on
to her, "Arise, go unto the town
called Lenoir, which lieth fair
among the hills, tor there be many
who have fouud healing of mind
and body therein. So the woman
came unto that town, and dwelt in
a broad house, kept by a good man
and his fair wife. And it was so
that when the woman grew strong
again, and took up her cross and
went out to light the world, the
flesh and the devil. Now, while
she sojourned here, her greatest
comfort was in the shade ol" the
beautiful, over shadowing trees
that spread great arms over the
hguse, for their shade kept off the
noonday heat, and the weary way
farer looked upon them and bless
ed the one who planted them in
their place. All the town loved to
sit beneath their branches, and
they had comforted much people
for many, many years. Also, as
the woman grew to know and love
the townspeople, she fouud a very
fair garden, and lovely green lawns
with other spreading trees, where
dwelt godly folk who gave her good
cheer and wished w ell unto her.
When the time of her departure
came, she went with sorrow, and
off went to and fro, evur loving
the man and his fair wife, anil
divers others, and loving to feel
the wind in the great trees and to
see the fair gardens and the green
lawns. But. in the fullness of
time, it came to pass that the peo
pie of the city bethought them that
they needed many things to make
their town more fair, so they issu
ed things called bonds, and gath
ered much money together where
with to make broad road-ways and
smooth paths and bright lights and
divers other eoodlv thinirs. Now
trt
this inonev was given into the
hands of certain men who were
doubtless, righteous men, but not
entirely perfect in understanding
of all things (as what men be!
Now these men, consulting togeth
er said, the one to the other
"arise, let us hasten and get unto
us a man called an engineer, who
hath know ledge of these roadways,
paths and other things. "And not
being, as hath leen said, of a per
fect understanding, when many
men came together to answer this
call and earn their hire, they even
chose that the one who called and
cried "Behold me, here ami. I
am He that Knows it All. My
voice is loud, yea, very loud when
it cometh to speaking mine own
praises. I am boss from the rising
of the sun even unto the going
down of the same. 1 am It, and
beside me there is no other what
soever, from the place they turned
the dogs loose. Selah. "And so
theHe men hearkened unto this
man's tale of himself, and pledged
him to their service. And then
arose lamentations, wailing and
great bitterness. For this man
' forthwith set himself unto the de
struction of the fair town of Le
noir, and he ordered that the won
drous great trees before the broad
house where dwelt the good man
and his fair wife who had befriend
ed the sick woman and many
others, even that these trees be cut
down and cast into the pit. And
when the man said unto them
"Why should ye deal thus wickedly
with me, to lake uwny that which
is minedwn, which my tallwrs
planted, and which 1 hare cherish
ed ., !! .ppli1 of mine eye?" they
scoffed at him, and hewed down
the great trees, and east them in
to th pit. So the noonday heats
poured in upon the broad house,
so that scarcely cculd one dwell
there. And the. heart of the
man's fair wife was grevionsly cast
down within her, to that she sick,
ened, and her babe grew sick also,
and she and her mother arose and
gat them farther into the hill
country about Waynesville. This
they did only for very sorrow of
soul. Also these men of ill under
standing and canog, like Gallio,
for none of these things, did hie
them unto the green lawns and fair
gardens of those other godly men,
and did lay them waste, and dig
ged down a great pit alongside of
them, so that it was of twentv feet
i depth, or more, and, w hen the
rains came and the floods decern!
ed, and the wind blew and leat
upon that naked wall, it was even
shaken, and fell into the middle of
the street, and carried much beau
tiful lawn and garden therewith.
And these men too were tilled with
righteous wrath, and said
Wherein shall we seek for suc
cor! Yea, there is no help with
man for us save in those
men w ho do bring forth the things
called newspapers. Let us even
arise and seek unto them." And
while they yet talked on this
thing, came one running, and said,
"Help, if ye be men, for our neigh
bors house hath been undermined
by those men of Belial who work
the will of this man who knoweth
nottiod nor regardeth man, yea,
they have so treated it that it is
fallen and his fair young daughter
is greviously hurt. "Then all the
men of the city ran together unto
the one place, and, when they were
come there, behold their neighbor's
house was fallen upon heaps, and
his daughter was so wounded that
the physician worked mightily for
her. Then these men wailed and
lamented, beat upon their breasts,
and tore their hair, and, when they
were come to themselves, they said,
"Arise, let us go unto the woman
w ho returned to health amongst us.
She loveth us, and she will send
forth the terrible tale of these
