14000 MILES 



After two days' rest we journeyed towards Concord, 

 N. H., spending- a night with the Canterbury Shakers on 

 our way. Sister Philinda thought she remembered us, 

 and found our names registered in her book eight years 

 ago. The "yellow day" we passed with friends in Con- 

 cord. Only two days more ! We wanted to go to Boston 

 as we did last year, but thought it best to follow the same 

 old route to Milford, which we had been over so many 

 times, then varied our course by going through Mason 

 instead of Townsend Harbor, although we were told it 

 was "very hilly." We knew they were not Vermont or 

 Canada hills. This new road, with its charming bits of 

 scenery, gave a touch of freshness to the latter part of our 

 journey. According to our annual custom, we supped 

 with friends in Fitchburg, then drove home by moonlight. 

 Nearly four weeks, and just five hundred miles' driving, 

 is the brief summing up of our tenth anniversary.
