Mar- tin looked around at the lovely, sloping lines of Hemlock Moutnain, "at Necron- sett River singing in the sunlight, at the friendly, familiar faces of people in the street, and answered: "Do? Why we*jes' live!" And sometimes it seems to us that we are the-only people in America en- gaged in that wonderful occupation. | We know, of course, that there must be countless other Hillsboros, rejoicing as we do in an existence which keeps us responsive to life. But all we hear from that part of America which is not Hillsboro is the yell of excittment going up from the cities, where people seem to 'be doing everything except just living. City dwellers make money, make reputa- tion, make with hysteric rapidity more and yet more complication in the labyrinths of their lives, but they never really get to know each other and the pulsing drama of each other's lives.

In the city a horrible accident may happen before your eyes. It may shock you, but you do not know enough of what it means to be deeply moved by it. You knew nothing of the victim, you know nothing of his wife and children, You shudder, and hurry along, your heart a little more blunted to the sorrows of others, a little more remote from your fellows even than before. But all Hillsboro is stirred by the news that Mrs. Brownell has broken her leg, for it means something de- finite to us, about which we must take action. It means that her sickly old- est daughter will not get the care she needs if somehody doesn't help out; it means that if we do not.do something that bright boy of hers. will have to leave school, just when he is about to win a scholarship in college; it means a crisis in several human lives, which calls forth active sympathy. In other words, we are not only the characters of unwritten dramas, but also part authors.
