The forest is a pretty big affair.

In fact, it's what's generally called wild country.
But there are a thousand acres of the woods, worth about four dollars an acre, that now belong to Mrs.Dexter.She authorized me to find a buyer for that bit of the forest, but it seems to be out of the question.

Now, on Mrs.Dexter's land, in about the middle of it, and less than two hundred feet off the main trail, is one of the few real old log cabins left in this part of the United States.

The cabin is in pretty good repair, too, I fancy, for Mrs.Dexter's grandfather used to do logging out that way.

Later in his life, when he had amassed money, the old gentleman used to go out to that cabin to live for a while, two or three times in every year.
