"Is there any cellar beneath the church?" asked Tad.
"It has been said that there were once underground passages," answered Miss Brayton. "No one in our time has ever discovered them."

"But I saw a path when I came in. Somebody has been hitching a pony out there in the bushes, too," said the boy.
"Perhaps some of the cowmen may come in here out of the heat, now and then," replied the young woman carelessly.
