beside her.

scornfully.
The young man did not presume
upon the reception of sthis courtesy.
Directly after dinner he once more
retired to the smoking compartm ent,
and Amy early ordered the porter to
make up her berth. Once tucked snug
ly away she forgot her grievance. The
steady clunk-clunk of the wheels was
singular lullaby TO which she soon
yielded.
1t seemed as If she had not been
asleep more than three minutes when

the train was still moving. It's unre-

at Intervals between the awful sounds
which now assailed her ears. If it
was not wild beasts, then maybe
some one around her was dying.
This pretty, carefully reared ever
protected Southern girl had never
seen any one die and in her ignorance
of this and various other matters she
was working herself up into a fine
frenzy. A particularly deep and agon-
lied roar was followed by sound
that was a cross between a penny
whistle and sob. She could stand
the suspense no longer. She pushed
the tiny button and carefully arrang-
ing the curtains, stuck out her head
to meet the look of inquiry in the por-

ter's black face. Up and down the car
she gave hasty glance. Apparently
no one else realized the tragedy that
was going on so close at hand, for no
otber curtains were swaying, no other
heads were thrust out.
"Sumfin' you want, mIss?'
Why--why don't you hear that
dreadful noise?" she said. II think
some one in the berth next to me is

In the dim light she could see the
darky's teeth gleam ivory white in a
grin that reached from ear to ear.

Up in her eyrie Amy lay, still flush
ing hotly with modification. She knew
that porter would tell everybody on
the train next morning. She wished
she could change cars. Then suddenly
from the berth below the hated sound
rose again. Evidently there was no
respite from this infliction, and oddly
enough she felt herself plying the
man who was responsible for it. 1t
was really a disease, she decided, and
he was so young. too.
The next morning she met him face
to face in the dining car. Her cheeks
were flooded with crimson. She knew
by the quizzical light in his eyes that
he had heard of her mistake, and
undoubtedly every one on the car knew

with the rain there comes a certain
atmospheric condition that somehow
fetches man closer up to his mind.
Thought is more creative on rainy
day. Great poetry don't come out Of
the sunshine, but out Of the mist and
the rain"
Well, l don't know about that"
spoke W a fellow named TaIbert.
There was Jim Horn Pike, that lived
down in my neighborhood. He set
right out on the railin' of the bridge,
in the sunshine, and writ poetry about
the fight they had over at the dance
at Tarver's, and he found a word to
rhyme with every name, too. Squire
Goodall said ii was about as good
poetry as he had read that spring, and
the squire is a scholar-saw him add
up two columns of f1ggers at once"
Old Limuel smiled. Poetry is mys-
terry and there isn't any mystery in
sunshine" said he. The cradle song
is the sweetest and most appealin' be-
cause it is sung in the night when
there is mystery away out on the hill
side and along the creek. A rainy day
is the time of mans greatest creation.
1t is then that the doors of his mind
are open-when he is most willin' to
receive as guests the ideas that are
wanderin about in the air. And did
you ever notice that nearly all folks
are of the same age when they sit a

ticement as that" said Briz.
Il reckon not" Linn replied. But
some of the most beautiful truths of
the soul have escaped the notice of a
good many men. When the strings
on the fiddle are in tune they are all
of an age, until one of them breaks.
A rainy day seems to tune the strings
of this life: and the boy and the old
man, listenin' to the patter and the
drip-breathin' the softened breath
that comes from the woods, from the
undiscovered caves. from the hooks
where the birds live-the boy and the
man in their meditative silence are of
the same age. The mind turns back
ward, and the mind that can so back
no further than a few years seems just
as old as the mind that flies back over
half a century. That's the way it
seems, you understand, and although
we are told that things are not what
they seem, yet the thing that seems is
an illustration of the truth, the spirit
ualizin' of a fact-nobler sometimes
than the bare truth, for it gives scope
and speculation to the fancy. Look at

the free woods along the creek, the
