THE OLD WARMIN' PAN.

Nine o'clock and upstairs; oh, the breath
freezing room
With its audible silence and tangible
gloom!
Oh9 the shivers and breads OF that tor
tuous hall
Where we bumped our poor heads on the
down-sloping wall
And the demons that danced down our
candlelight lane
To the squeaky quadrille Of the old wealth
er-vane!
But all, every terror, each recess of dread
We forgot in the depths Of our billowy
bed,
When, snuggled therein on the snkaway
plan,
In Dreamland twas spring, thank the Old
Warmin' Pan.
A well-won protection from bogies and
ghosts!
From the farthest confines they might
marshal their hosts,
But no spook in the whole vast domain of
Upstairs
Could approach, undefled, this, the surest
of lairs.
Deep down in our feathers. twixt laven-
dered sheets,
Picking over the counterpane's regular
p!eats,
We laughed all the ougaboos square in the
face
Till they make their retreat in the hush
of disgrace
Poor things! they were awful, but blame
them who can,
For no doubt they begrudsed us our Old
Warmin' Pan.
Oh, the Old Warmin Pan! How the men,
cries hold
Those days were of silver. those nights
were of gold,
And each homely object my childhood held
dear
HAS grown to an idol through many a
year,
The starlight, the stiffness, the FROST
cleaning pane,
The Woodworking shadows, the winds
. low refrain,
The hand at the door and the step in the
hall,
The low, gentle sound of the motherly
call:
For the lack in the child is the love in the
. man
Toward the genius that welded the Old
Warmin' Pan.

CHAPTER XIV.

Mid October. The Queen of the Fleet,
| the finest transport of the Pacific serv-
ice, -hronged with boys in blue at last
| ordered on to Manila, lay at the wharf
at Honolulu, awaiting her commanders
orders to cast loose. In strong force
and with stentorian voices, the Prime
| val Dudes joined in rollicking chorus
to the crashing accompaniment of their
band, and, when they could take time
to rest, the crowd ashore set up cheer.
| The Hawaiian national band, in spotless
white, forming huge and meiodious cir
Gle on the wharf, We'd with the must
clans from the states in the spirit and

De! Aloha Oe!" chorused the surging
throng, afloat and ashore, as wreaths
and garlands-the leis of the islanders
were twined or hung about some IA
vorite officer or favored man. The
troops still held to service in Hawaii
shouted goodwill and goodby to those
ordered on to the Philippines. The
Dudes of the Queen, and the lads from
the prairies and the mountains on other
transports anchored in.'the deep but
narrow harbor, yelled soldierly con-
dolence to those condemned to stay.
The steam of the 'scape pipe roared
loudly and belched dense white clouds
On high, swelling the uproar. Dusky
little kanaka boys, diving for nickels
and padding tireless about the ship,
added their shrill cries to the clamor.
The captain, in his natty uniform of
blue and gold, stepped forth upon the
bridge to take command, and raised his
banded cap in recognition CT the con-
slant cheer from the host ashore and
the throng of blue shirts on the fore
castle head. Then arose another shout.

the heavy lines were cast off and hauled
swiftly in, the massive screw began
slowly to churn the waters at the stern,
and gently, almost imperceptibly at
first, the Queen slid noiselessly along

ment of little volley of flowers and
garlands tossed from eager hands, and
cheer of godspeed from the swarm of
upturned faces. And then there up
rose another shout. shout nf mingled
