128 wd 17ed Boy,

low wall covered with pretty creepers,
and om the other sidé on the wall
tiicrer were ulck ‘bushy trees, the
boughs of which hung over, so that
she could take hold of them.

‘Besides this, there was one tree
that grew on her side of the fence;
and just as she passed by that, some-
thing ran behind the trunk between it
and the wall. It ran very quickly,
and she could not see what it was;
but while she was looking about, she
heard a little quick cry in a tree near
—one of those whose boughs came
over the wall. It sounded almost like
the cry of a child; but there was no
child to be seen up there.
