called it, because there are some e-w0rmous 

 wrecks of stumps, with trees that are pretty big 

 and old now, growing between them. I don't re- 

 member any open field behind the cliff; it was all 

 woods quite across to the Mountain." 



u Of course, of course, it would be after all these 

 years," said the Arrow-head. " Was there a wide, 

 open piece of water above, before the cliffs made 

 the way narrow ? " 



" Yes, of course the long pond. It used to 

 be lovely, full of Lilies and Wild Ducks, but the 

 lumbermen have messed it all up to make the 

 water turn their saw-mill." 



" House Child," cried the Arrow-head, " that 

 was the cliff from which Wenona took her flight 

 with Robin Thrush and Owaissa. From its glis- 

 tening rocks was I made ! " 



"How wonderful ! " sighed Anne, fingering the 

 Arrow-head tenderly. "Then there were Red 

 Brothers here where we live ! Do tell me every- 

 thing you remember, and I won't interrupt you any 

 more, that is, only one question, did you ever 

 meet Wagoose, the Dream Fox ? Did he ever 

 live here ? " 



" You say there are Foxes here now ? " 



" Yes, plenty of them; too many for our chickens 

 to be happy."
