people are not over particular, and the
summer girl is seldom more than a vita

who passes Off of the canvas at the end
of the season, going nowhere In partic-

shore visitor, and to her Miss Birdie
Maloney was not quite the ordinary
summer girl. Rather was she a siren
who was likely to get her son into all
manner of trouble, II she didn't go the
extreme length OF actually marrying
him.
Mrs. Mason was a lady and she could
not help showing II. But also she could
not help showing Just a shade more
haughtlness OF manner than usual when
she passed Miss Birdie and her snappy,
ticket-punching aunt in the hotel cor
rdors or on the board walk, and there
was a spirit of perversity in the girl
that made her toss her yellow head
more saucily at such times and smack
her pretty gum-chewlng lips more audi
bly,
In the meantime Stanley's mouth was
developing. There was getting little
frmer set to the corners of It and
little stronger look of his mother In his
blue eyes.
Birdie told him one evening that he
was getting to be quite man. They
were sitting alone In the little pavilion

parted lips.

Miss Birdie let her hand rest In his n

The rolling OF the rubber tires was in
audible on the asphalt beneath. but a
moment later -here was the quick ting
of a bicycle bell. and the girl lifted her
grass linen cap as she sped on toward
the board walk. Had she heard? Stan

lip and wished he might run away
after her and find out; but his mothers
hand was on his arm.

her popular In the hotel. She danced

HE GLORY OF TIE MOONLIGHT

Love and sorrow watched at midnight
While the freight fell and faded.
Not single lamp was burning.
And the last great bard Of England,
Smiling on his mourning children,
Waited. like saint TRANSPORTED,
In the glory Of the moonlight.
Only from the outer shadow
Breezy murmurs. sweet and solemn,
Stirred the stiffness Of his chamber:
But he heard ethereal voices.
To the great harps Of the cedars.
Chanting softly through the window,
In the glory of the moonlight.
Wrinkled. old and honry- headed
Lay the king Of all the singers:
But the bloom Of heaven was on him.
And the eyes that watched him wondered
And the hearts that loved him worshiped
For the peace Of God had found him.
In the glory Of the moonlight.
Stream and forest. sea and mountain.
All their scenes OF grief and gladness,
All his country's grand traditions.
Had voice that night to mourn him:
And the farewels Of al nations
Followed. signing. where he vanished
In the glory Of the moonlight.
Like star he rose In beauty,
Like sun he shone in splendor
Shone through afternoon to evening
Every hour serencr, swceter,
TIL the midnight dreaming DER him
Left his cloudless soul translated
In the glory Of the moonlight.
Dead. but cloudless still. we know him
10 the memory Of his manhood.
In the music Of bis verses
And his radiant fame is hnllowcd
To the gaze of men forever.
And his triumph smiles immortal
In the glory of the moonlight.

There Is an excellent prospect OF the
renewal OF the business Of graye-rob-
bling In Atlanta. An old law OF the
State OF Georgia permitted the medical
colleges to claim the bodies OF paupers
for purposes OF dissection, and for years
these were found adequate. But few
years ago alleged reformers conceived
the idea that this disposition OF the re-
mains OF the poor and frlcndless was
barbarous, and the Legislature was In
duced to repeal the law. AS a result
