“THE RAFT”BY CONINGSBY DAWSONAuthor of “The Garden Without Walls,” “Florence on a Certain Night,” etc.“Life at its beginning and its end is bounded by a haunted wood. When no one is watching, children creep back to it to play with the fairies and to listen to the angels’ footsteps. As the road of their journey lengthens, they return more rarely. Remembering less and less, they build themselves cities of imperative endeavor. But at night the wood comes marching to their walls, tall trees moving silently as clouds and little trees treading softly. The green host halts and calls—in the voice of memory, poetry, religion, legend or, as the Greeks put it, in the faint pipes and stampeding feet of Pan.”$1.35 NetHENRY HOLT AND COMPANY34 West Thirty-third StreetNEW YORK
