"Then, we may see his home," said Star, suggestively.
"We may; but the mountains are very large, Star—miles long and miles wide, with dense woods everywhere and with but few roads through them, and homes of farmers scattered about."
"Oo-oo!" exclaimed Star. "We would not want to go far into them; we might get lost. Do people live there?"
"Yes. There are bears there, Star, and deer and owls; and many birds live in the gloomy depths of the forests."
"My!" exclaimed Star, alarmed. "I would not want to go out after night. Where will we live when we go up there?"
"In a big hotel on top of the mountains."
"How fine! I can hardly wait till I see it all!"
"Our trunks should be packed today, Star, for a two months' stay. Father says I will be benefitted when I get out of the smoke of this city."
"Is your father going with us?"
"Oh, yes; but for a short stay only. He will visit us once a week thereafter."
