Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Bypath: A City Pastoral
Often when the city made his head whirl and the crowd elbowed him aside he fled from the mad rush, walked to the park, (for Johnny had no steady employment and very little money) and sat long hours on the fallen log. A tiny rabbit seemed to recognize him as a kindred spirit and slowly made friends. The scurrying quail used to pause near him, while the impudent city sparrows, occasionally flitting in from the busy driveway almost used to perch' on him and crowd him off the log. The linnets nested in the trees above the path and sang' to him.' Saucy jays tilted on swinging twigs to scold him. There was more sociability on the bypath than Johnny found onlife's highway and so he grew to loiter there more and more between the odd jobs that came his way with little seeking.
