Every little girl is g. potential mother,

of that incarnate racial idea which,
through the sacrifices involved in repro

height
And so the song was at one and the
same time eternally old and eternally new.
The rude words were perhaps OF little

a significance in the primitive and poetic
phrases of the commoi people. Poetry,
too, begins with children, and the true

The gentle air Of the summer morning
rusted the leaves of the old beech tree
in a not inharmonious accompaniment to
the melody and swept the sound into the
dull ear of drowsy man. Philip Grafton
had forgotten himself in the, great bed of
the large chamber above the beech tree.
He lazily opened the curtains of the bed
as the sound came family into the room,
and the flood Of light which poured upon
him completed his awakening. He lay
listening a few moments, and then rose
and leisurely walked to the window.
/ 1t was Il heavenly morning. The breeze,
laden with the sweet fragrance Of sum-
mer, blew softly across his face through
the easement. An enchanting garden,
which might have boosted the supervision
of the famous LIE Notre himself, lay
spread before his eyes. Half concealed by
the interlacing boughs of the tree he could
detect two figures beneath the window,
sitting on a bench under the shadow of
the beech. =
He watched them. They were singing.
That wild, plaintive, yet primitive chant
| came from the two little girls there. The
deeper contralto tones of the peasant girl
afforded a sweet accompaniment for the
girlish treble Of the other. The birds
twittered in the trees Of the garden, and
gay robin on branch near the window
poured out his brave little soul in brilliant
bursts of song. It was chorus of nature
harmonizing with the natural song Of
motherhood. which seemed not inappro-
pirate though issuing from the lips of
children.
'Toutouie, la ,la!'''> What was the
queer little refrain? He leaned far
out over the window-sill and listened
to the singers. He was wont to be awak-
ened by the creaking of the timbers of a
heavng ship, and the experience of this
morning was as novel as it was delight
full. 1t was interrupted, however, by a
knock upon the door. r..:'
