that he had a vein Of great shrewd-

people who are counted insane.

figure. and the young men at once

tion for his poems. and ! would give
a great deal to see the man"
When he passed the mad poet lean
ed forward and said with evident
qualification:
"Sir, | am Mcdonald Clarke, whom
you say you wish to see.'
The young man stared at him with
much rudeness for a moment, and
then drawing a quarter from his
pocket he laid It on the poets plate,
saying, That's for the sight"
Clarke looked at the coin for an in
