One September night a family had gathered round their hearth‚ and piled it high with the driftwood of mountain streams‚ the dry cones of the pine‚ and the splintered ruins of great trees that had come crashing down the precipice. Up the chimney roared the fire‚ and brightened the room with its broad blaze. The faces of the father and mother had a sober gladness; the children laughed; the eldest daughter was the image of Happiness at seventeen; and the aged grandmother‚ who sat knitting in the warmest
