" Mr. Penfield had grown a trifle pale.

"Let us go, gentlemen," said Mr. Penfield.

" This was the man whom Mercy Philbrick met early in her first summer at Penfield.

It was at a picnic in which the young people of both Danby and Penfield had joined that Mercy met Parson Dorrance.

It won't be any fun without him!" Until Mercy came, Stephen White had rarely been asked to the pleasurings of the young people in Penfield.

The picnic at which Mercy met Parson Dorrance had taken place on a mountain some six miles south-west of Penfield.

This mountain was the western extremity of the range of which I have before spoken; and at its base ran the river which made the meadow-lands of Penfield and Danby so beautiful.

Mrs. Hunter's father had been settled as the minister of a church in Penfield, in the same year that Parson Dorrance had taken his professorship in Danby, and the two men had been close friends from that day till the day of Mr. Adams's death.

She had always called Parson Dorrance her uncle, and her house in Penfield was his second home.

The bright colors which had thrilled Mercy with such surprise and pleasure on her first arrival in Penfield were glowing again on the trees, it seemed to her brighter than before.

Purple asters and golden-rod waved on the roadsides and in the fields; and blue gentians, for which Penfield was famous, were blooming everywhere.

That night he stayed in Penfield at Lizzy's house.

Except I guess by this,the joy I feel When sudden on my silence or my gloom Thy presence bursts and lights the very room? Then on my face doth not glad color steal Like shining waves, or hill-tops' sunrise glow?" One of the others was the poem of which I spoke once before, the poem which had been suggested to her by her desolate sense of homelessness on the first night of her arrival in Penfield.

When she was asked how it happened that she wrote them, she exclaimed, "I did not write that poem, I lived it one night,the night when I came to Penfield, and drove through these streets in the rain with mother.

She recollected old Mr. Wheeler's warnings about Stephen, in the first weeks of her stay in Penfield.

Within six hours after the receipt of this telegram, Mercy was on her way to Penfield.

She had had an over-mastering presentiment from the moment when she read the telegram that she should reach Penfield too late to see Parson Dorrance alive.

The double bereavement and strain of her two years of life in Penfield left her for a long time bruised and sore.

I returned to my home to reflect on the scenes of the past night, and Mr. and Mrs. Furr to the house of a friend of the bride in Penfield.
