A stray chicken wandered aimlessly
about a small clearing. Now he stop
ped to peck at a bright pebble, then
hoped forward to examine a bunch
of tussocl grass. Then a grasshopper
attracted his attention. And all the
time he was getting farther away
from homo. At last he paused on the
bank of dark creek and looked about
curiously. 1t was new world to him.
Near by long, black object lay, half
embedded in the sand. After watch

Snapping of teeth; the chickens short
drama was over and the alligators
tail slid back into the sand, and his
half closed eyes resumed their air
Of sleepy unconsciousness.
Overhead magnolias and live oaks
mingled their branches, while here
and there rose the stately trunks of
royal palms. Beyond the creek, and
stretching away for hundred miles
to the south and west, were the Ever
glades. In the distance cleaned the
blue waters of Lake Okeechobee. To
the east was a wilderness, to the
north almost twenty miles of almost
lmpenetrable jungle. And in the midst
the little clearing, lonely and wild
and ugly. For, except where the log
cabin stood near the center, the trees
had been merely girdled, and now
rose white and ghostly, their gray,
skeleton arms creaking and groaning
with every passing breeze. Among
them were long ridges of sweet pota-
TO vines. and, nearer the cabin, few
rlumps of gumbo and banana stalks.
The cabin had but two windows,
small openings, which were closed
with boards when 1t rained. Near one
Df these a young girl was preparing

The copses dense with briar;
The yellow primrose streaks the night
with its illusive fire;
But an the rose OF queenly head
Lies dropped and dead!
The beds within the garden CLEAN

The poppy-cups invite to dream
The rainbow dreams of old;
Yet. sweet. there is a shadowy bliss
We seem to miss

How June once sung and shone,
Let us have done with vain regret,
And. Joyous, journey on.

Hand clasped in hand!
