THE TEMPTATION
OF Mr.. PITTS

Mr.. Josiah Pitts is a moderately
good man in that he attends church
occasionally. After Mr.. Pitts gets on
his wife's nerves by a week of late
hours and uncertain behavior he al
lows her tc take him to church.
Whereupon Mrs. Pitts tells herself
that Josiah is reforming.
Last Sunday evening Mr. Pitts
went to church with his wife. He
was in a state of mind common with
him. He was blaming himself for his
misdeeds and praising himself for his
reformation. I'm pretty bad"
thought Mr.. Pitts. 81 played poker

there's money on the floor. Pick it

Mr.. Pitts locked at the other occu-
pants of the pew. Then he studied
the people in the pew in front of him.
The folded green paper was too near
his feet for it to have been dropped
by anyone in the front pew. The
people in the pew with him were
closer to the aisle than he and none

AS he was speaking, he spread GU.

had found. She uttered little scream.
His jaw dropped, and he felt creepy
sensation at the back of his neck
Words he could not speak. Mrs.
Pitts began to cry. Mr.. Pitts looked
helplessly at her.
The bill that he found was an ad-
vertising circular, one side of which
was printed in poor imitation of a
five-dollar note-George Owen Koch

The song Of the Gunner.


She lies within her bracings with her
muzzle out to sea,
She Is sleeping, darkly sleeping. In the
sun;
She is waiting for the fiery touch that
sets her thunders free.
For the reckoning when her savage rest
Is done.
Oh. my lady. oh. my pet.
/ shall hear your music yet,
When the foe shall set his broadsides to
my gun!
As 1 stroke her iron shoulder, heaving
with the heaving deck.
From her throat a hollow murmur
seems to start:
As / whisper. as listen, with my arm
upon her neck,
Do hear a sullen throbbing from her
heart?
Oh, my beauty. my delight!
When you speak by day or night.
Earth from heaven-soul from body
strain apart.
Watching mutely through the midnight
watching warily through the day,
While a brooding blackness wells her
eye OF fire,
AS the tiger, crouching dumbly, waits to
seize the gliding prey,
Holding dashed the secret force Of his
desire,
So she fingers set to stand
To the motion OF my hand,
Till my summons wakes the tempest Of
her ire.
When the call shall sound 60 action she
shall tremble in her greed:
She shall know me, for her heart and
mine are one!
/ shall loose her rocking thunders, I shall
fit the bolts that speed
Straight to rend, and strong to shatter.
swift to stun;
All her mighty thews shall thrill
To the passion of my will.
And my soul shall send the message of
my gun.
Still she lies within her bracings with
her muzZle out to sea;
And l stroke her till her steely Shout
ders shine:
And she slumbers without token of the
fury that shall be
When the foe shall set his broadside on
her line.
When swing you round to sight,
oh. my lady. my delight!
Death shall follow, and your triumph
shall be mine
