We agreed — the cars are now arriving— and we are going to move them.

IN TH* «i> COOBTRT OF TEE BLUE RIME The following story by Rev. John R Haines, now pastor of the Centenary M. E. Church. Camden, but some yaara years ago pastor of the M. E. Church appeared recently In the Camden Post -Telegram: Of course you are not fond of old Dame Nature at first hand, and would not enjoy being bumped about, in riding oyer a mountain road; if you do not care for the primitive and real, then I judge there cam be nothing of interest in. thia article to you; but, if the wonderful grips you occasionally, and you Jiave a masterful desire to step down from the conventional and "get against" the real, there may he something suggestive in thia narration, of a most delightful experience, in the Blue Ridge, among some real people, and amidst most delightful and restful sqenery. To use the language of emotional youth, "I just love" the Blue Ridge Mountains! I do not know, speaking accurately , whether . they cmbraoe and encompass me, more than I hug them up to my personality; in their own language — beautiful and dignified — they speak to me and catching their "wireI respond. "To him who in the love of nature, etc." You remember how you memorized "Thanatopsis" in your school days. back and up into the mountains and you will visualize and interpret the | significance of the words stowed away j memory. To put "first thinge fiijgt" 1 when you start as David Grayson would I you start on "The Friendly Road" | resolutely "saw off" the "usual" and ab- 1 solutely leave it behind it will probably there when you get back ready for j you. Every minute of the train ride to , was restful and filled with j delicious expectancy that is always j more than realized when one enters that beautiful city. The one thing | necessary as we are to go Into the j heart of the "southland" is to get at a touch of the Southern atmosphere; this you can do by making an early morning 'visit to "Centre Market" in Washington seeing one side then by trolley to Mt. Vernon and Arlington, seeing the other side. Crossing the at Harper's Ferry, your ride down the Shenandoah Valley gives you j progressive opportunity as you view | its fertile fields and the distant but en- j compassing mountains of getting ready j the "rest touch of the Kills into which you are soon to enter. The , proverhiaj southern hospitality $-| a that has never been over-esti-mated. The greetings of a Virginia gentleman of the old school the unostentatious but delightful entertainment within his home, is another story that deserves a separate writing, but the "hills rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun" make the horizon' line that commands my attention and focuses my eyes. Bright snd early we are astir and afmorning devotions and a delightful I breakfast — a breakfast ! Well, that is I another story tiiat I cannot now dwell upon, you can have just a glimpse, the • cook? she has teen in the family for years and what she. does not know about cooking, but I get away from my theme Virginia ham ? never tasted it ? still i another story. We ride across the valley toward the j hills and following a much-used mountain stream that run* down a ravine, 1 turning the wheels of two mills and a foundry, we are greeted by the man "to the manor born" who is to take us up the mountains. Of course another : round of hospitable greetings await you : at the romantically beautiful home in ! Glen Falls; then with a good team of ' bays we ford the river, the bed of which is nearly dry, and enters "The Hills." Just at the -gap -the rocks are not more than a hundred feet apart, just enough of an opening to allow a little mountain road to enter in. Mine host who owns a goodly part of this gap country , lived just there for many years, and be taken as authority concerning mountain folk and mountain customs. A new sense of an encompassing, I j abont to say personality, always ■ grips me when I enter the hills, and as a "tenderfoot" I was eager with ques- , Hons and anticipation. Are the bears ' to ryn-yet? "You see that ridge just there before us? There's ' where they cross from one mountain to 1 the other; just over there under that j high rock back of that house an old j and her cubs spent a winter'ahd I the spring I reckon they did I have bear fight, they smoked hen out I think one got away." Yes, I think they said yesterday that several bears are running up where we are going; two crossed the farm of Mr. F up there, and I hear there are some more over on the other mountain. Good exhilirating news for a couple of riding in a buggy without a gun, as x went still up toward fee top. I do not know as owe would exactly attacks a man, unless it was a she I

I was conscious of a tow ,f quiet but real thrills as 1 thought about 9' it, but the glorious tinting of aatama 4 leaves, the winding road, the pocket e valleys around the upper rim of which ^ we are riding, fee clouds above and fee 6 great blue dome over all, feast cam. ^ maud your attention and interest sad j for the time being bears are feigotUa. A little mountain lassie of tea has j just ridden up beside us. Back of her, B sitting quietly and easily upon the j horse's rump, is her little mater of T j years, and in front, it a beg filled wife B meal or flour, evenly divided, lying . across the horse's neck; she terns aside f down a precipitous road-ead aa we . turn a sharp curve this road to moupt higher she is seen in fee valley below riding up to a comfortable home ' We shall see her again at the church service 011 the morrow1 up at fee chrpeL , We are now meeting teams coming 5 out from the mountain farms, laden r ] with lire stock or wife wood, «o feat » j the ~ ride is not in any sense monoton- } j ous, though it is a bit rough. * "If you will Jurn around and look - , bacn I reckon you can see the She nan - r doah Valley." Yes we are far enough r : up to look hack through a break in the trees down through the gap and there, , like a large checker board is a glimpse j ' of Virgin ij/s most beautiful valley. 1 The surroundings above, below, in , the distance and near at hand, are now j J too interesting and beautiful to de- ■ scribe; one must be there and nee and t feel to know it. "She speaks a various . language" to those who can hear and l see. .We are at the top of fee ridga > now, above the limestones and in fee r freestone country ; just across that valley at tb« base of the mountain w# s could see the entrance to an iron mine ; just opening for operation, while fee L bare rocks above, that on top are oover- , j ed with huckleberry bushes, make the . favopte running place for bears, and I T suspect fee man of the house, toward j ' which we are .going, is ready wife his , ' two bear dogs to get out on a bear , hunt after the black game, two of which • . had crossed his son's farm the day Just off on our left is the chapel for I which the people have been longing for I years, a modest one-story building that ! will seat perhaps one hundred aad fifty ; or two hundred, surrounded by God's - acre with the quiet whiteness of fee r tombstones showing across fee valley to fee road where we are riding.
