E ROAD
By LEO CRANE
Copyright, 1901, bv Leo Crane

. The road was narrow and crooked
and but for this quarrel of the giants
might have been forgotten. Grass, with
an intricate pattern of daisies, grew
there in the summer always, but this
particular year it was supplanted by a
bed of reddish yellow mud foot deep.
The airs perfect stiffness was broken
only by the clutter of the water and
the harsh voices of three men who
toiled in the rain about a large wagon
Embedded to the hubs in the yellow
mud, blocking the center of the road.
The big man who directed matters in
growing, hasty fashion, showing he
disliked the work, watched the road
turns and listened for expected sounds.
''Don' s'pose We'll evah git this der.
nation cart out nohow. Work up there,
Hank Dawson. Pears to me you're
tired. Dom yo' want to finish?"
II amt a-keerin' If it takes week. -
said the thin fellow. Il got my sheer
of fghtin' on that're hillside ten miles
back. an it dom seems if keer bout
tghtin' no more, it's so peaceful bout
this DANCED old shack in the mud.''
'Yo' nevah did hev much amount o.
sand nohow," said the other nastily.
"Well, sand or no sand," snarled
back the thin man, "I'm yere on wag-
on mendin' train an a-doin' my duty.
I stays where I'm put, does, an
nevah runs away; hence I'm nevah
'martialed."
''But I know people what's got belt
ed ovah the mouth afore now."
The fellow in the blue cap straight
,ened out and gazed wonderingly at the
big man. He looked at him in much
the same way as boy at a freak.
''Yo' dom actually mean to say, Bill
-yo' dom mean to say yo've been mar
tailed, do yo'?"
The big one growled and grunted an
assent
can fur runnin' away?"
The man grunted again.
''Well, I'm hanged if evan would
hev thought it of yo'.'
The big one started to correct this
wrong impression.
'There they had me right afore the
gineral," he explained. "'Cap'en,' says
the gineral to Boggs-Boggs were cap.
zen then-he were shot at South noun
ten right alongside O. me-'Cap'en,'
says he to Boggs, what's the matter
with this yere fellar?' er somethin' to

tention to juty an ruined away"
can what did yo' say?' asked the
blue capped man, with interest.
"What he said saved him from bein'
riddled like sieve" put in the thin
one.
can says 1: 'Gineral, he put me to
work on wagon train helpin' repair,
but Thompson's cum by lickerty split

out, "We're goin' in to back up Long

given a color to by his mishap OF two
years ago, when, from sword thrust,
he came perllously near losing his life.
The poem Is as follows
NINE ENEMY.
BY Il, II. sothern,
BY day, By night, by land, and sea-
I've ever known that We must meet
1 and my awful enemy,
Who dogs me, aye with silent feet
Whose yelled face | never see.
His glance and mine have never met,
No word has passed twxt him and me-
He makes no sign. no sound and yet
A sudden stiffness falls and he
Breathes In my heart, do not forget"
stlll day and night, by land and sea,
Through meadow and through market
place,
Ger valley mountain top ana lea.
With stealthy. sure ana dreadful pace,
He follows me, and follows me.
Alone, or in the laughing crowd
I've felt that fey breath Of his,
! felt It as my trOth ! yowd,
/ felt II I'm my lovers kiss
Ny heart stood still, then beat aloud.
Christ let me end this deadly fear.
End the mad terror Of this chase.
Mine Enemy II thou canst hear
Come meet me-meet me face 20 facet
Harkl Something answers II am here"
And now he stretches forth his hand,
/ brace myself TO meet the blow
with damp and quaking fear unmannd-
When a voice, tender, sweet and low,
Says Look on me ana understand
raise my eyes And this Is he?
Mine enemy whom | abhOr2
Those lips that smile such love at me-
Those eyes with pity brmmng DER!
That voice like some soft melody.
He smooths my brow with gentleness,
And wipes the tear stains from my
cheek
His touch is chill, yet nevertheless,
! have found something that ! seek
10 dull all pain and cure distress,
Comet" and feel his cooling breath,
The while he takes me In his arms,
Come where no mortal surrOweth
Far from the world and all It's harms.
Peace dwells with me--my name Is
Death"
THE sins which strength and honor steal,
Famine and plague and lust and war,
And bloate1 greed to which men kneel,
Drive them all stricken TO my door
Where / but comfort, sO0the and heal
"These are the Ills Of lfe-not mine
After the turmoil Of the world,
Defeat and victory, storm and shine,
The battle Ger the banner furrd,
Drink OF my grateful anodyne.'
And so he folds me to his breast,
My arms about his shoulders steal,
And thankfully | sink to rest
Where all my wounds forever heal.
with this dear foe, who loves me best.
