Description:Text extracted from opening pages of book: ELEPHANTS HAD been buried on that land, and back in the glorious days on this country road you saw men in sweaters and caps leading the living elephants for their exercise in the sunshine of a spring morn ing. That pasture had once trembled beneath the hoofs of a hundred horses, and camels had munched hay on that farm. In those flamboyant years, a lazy hippopotamus had grunted in the Animal House, and if you walked those hills at night you heard lions roaring drowsily as they dreamed. But that was over, now. The great days were dead. On the south slope of the hill the farm slept in the yellow autumn. The buildings marked Paint Shop and Blacksmith Shop and Baggage Stock stood silent in decay. Only sometimes you saw a girl hurrying into the house with a quick glance at the empty road, as if expecting somebody she did not want to see. Southeast past the farm the valley ran; and once, along the base of the hill between the road and the farm, the stubby electric engine of an interurban line had clanged, dragging coal gondolas. But no longer - In these afteryears, weeds smothered the rotting ties, and long ago men had ripped up the rails and hauled them away to the scrapyards of cities. On the flat ground between the road and the track, faded paint was peeling from a long, low barn where rats lived. From the gable a flag pole rose, whitely streaked by bird droppings and topped by what had once been a gilded wooden globe; and beneath the gable - a sign, which the weather had nearly erased, said: HOME OF BURGOYNE & PAWPACKER'S GREAT 3-RING CIRCUS.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
