We enjoy too the rights with their starshine and quiet, and the moonlight wash- 'ng the farmlands in silver. “You should come out and see how pretty the night is!’’ Mack rmiled this evening. “‘It’s al- most as bright as by day.” But we already knew-had seen it from a window. Had admir- ed the tapestry of countryside reaching about: the dark tra- ceries of branches that catch stars for us through the night, and by day hold robins’ nests dark against the bright of the sunny sky; had seen the hous- ex, that which sits modestly across the lane from this, and that which tops the hill on the far side of the stream, both con- tent in the moonlight. Lights in windows, smokes rising from the hearthfires. But to come to a verandah or yard to look out at a reach of countryside is a privilege given to folks of the farms. How ser- ene it was when we came with him then! No breath of wind stirred. No sound in the wide silence obtaining. But listen! Was that the hunting call of an owl? “T’d say,”’ Mack offered, ‘‘that ia from the high grove. It’s a good sign.
