In the Driftway

The scene of a dream was Westchester County, but it was not the Westchester of today. There were no houses; there were no roads. It was densely wooded and wild except that it was nicely trimmed underfoot. A Drifter remembers thinking at the time that it was rather strange to find this park like floor in what was evidently a primeval forest. Threading the woods were many neat paths, some of them very narrow, others wide enough to accommodate four men abreast. It was on one of these wide paths that the Drifter discovered himself at dusk, walking briskly in a distinctly military way, bound on some very important mission military in character and requiring great speed.
