THE WELSH PONY



  But on a ramble with a pony, adaptive, un-
obtrusive, all the leisurely ways are open - the
deepwood path, or the trail up the exhilerating
steep. As self-effacing as you wish, he saves
you from weariness and frees the mind for its
own adventure. There will be pause for ques-
tion, and if Nature ever answers at all, you
will hear her. There will be the placid hour
that is healing-time with her woods, her skies
and waters; and that communion with her
divinity which means rest and - haply - peace.

                                  O. T. D.
