      UP IN THE MOUNTAINS

      IN THE SANITARIUM

      CHAPTER FIRST

      AT HOME IN THE LITTLE STONE HUT

      High up in the Bernese Oberland, quite a distance above the meadow-encircled hamlet of Kandergrund, stands a little lonely hut, under the shadow of an old fir-tree. Not far away rushes down from the wooded heights of rock the Wild brook, which in times of heavy rains, has carried away so many rocks and bowlders that when the storms are ended a ragged mass of stones is left, through which flows a swift, clear stream of water.
