thetic silence fell. Jim's wife slipped
her arm around the girl.
The action distinctly startled me.
Spontaneity in her was shock.
Since Jim had brought her, an ex-
pressionless, emotionless creature,
from somewhere in the swamps
Of Florida" as I had contemp-
tuously termed it, [ had not
liked her. She had been a good wife,
and the sturdy boys were unques-
tionably like Jim and credit to the
family In the lackadaisical years,
there had been no chickering's. I think
I would have liked her better had
there been something to break the
monotony of her calm devotion. She
was so colorless, SO drawing! There
fore, her caress inwardly affronted
me in that is said: IT understand.
I, too, have suffered" No doubt she
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-12-24

had known the feeling I cherished
under all the reserve and perhaps my
inner resentment now was telepathi-
lcally conveyed to her, for on sud-
den she broke the queer spell of ret
respect with strange, hurried words
Of hurt Indignation.
"You all think I'm just a piece Of
social driftwood that ought to be
grateful and obedient as a dog just
for being here-as Jim's wife! Gawd
knows I'm proud Of him and love
him; and l won't say any of his
family has ever done me an inten-
tional unkindness, but I think I've
paid for it, every day and hour, by
the way I've tried to do my duty by
him, and the boys and any of his
kith or kin that has claim on him !
"I was the most heart-broken
young widow in the world when Jim
came-and tried so hard to make me
live-and forget! Jim knew what it
was crushed me to earth--and no
one else ever cared to find out! But
I want to say, now, that never had
call to be ashamed of my first man.

If we spent our reunions in such
prosy recitals. I don't know. Any
how, we were glad the dishes were
washed and the men-folk where they
should be-under easy domestic es-
pionage, but not bothering us. The
last boisterous boy had been capped,
mittened and sent for a romp out
doors and the little orphan nieces
were having their own season Of bliss,
free from teasing and with new dolls
and unlimited sweets.
Tim glad it's over!" This ex-
clamation should have shocked us
with its apparent ungraciousness.
But it did not. Cousin Bellies amaz-
ing honesty is its own vindication.
She is frank, in an impersonal sort
of way that never stings as does the
honeyed candor of those who tell us
unpleasant truths "for our own
good. :" And, besides, the remark
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-12-24

found an echo in the heart of each
in the small circle, though we turned
in mild interrogation for her further
words.
They did not come promptly or
easily. "I don't mean that any
thing-or anybody-is to blame. I've
enjoyed the giving-and the getting;
and your dinner, dear turning to
me), was lovely. I am-perfectly
well-and / try-to be-happy. But

Cousin Belle was nearer breaking
down than we had seen her since that
awful cablegram came from Manila,
saying Harry would never return.
They were to have been married that
December. Had we forgotten the
girl s sorrow? Not quite; only
Harry had been a little wild; he
came of a lawless stock. It had
seemed to us then for the best-and
we had, somehow, felt she would I'LL

LITTLE BOY BLUE.

Our Neighbor, he calls me his Little
Boy Blue
Whenever he goes by our yard;
And he says, "good morning." or
Chow do you dog"
But sometimes he winks awful
hard.
I guess he don't know what my name
really is,
Or else he forgot, if he knew;
And my! You would think I am really
He calls me his Little Boy Bluel
Our Neighbor, he told me that Little
Boy Blue
Once stood all his toys in row,
And said, "Now don't go till I come
back for you'-
But that was long time ago.
And one time, at Christmas, when I
had tree,
He brought me a sled, all brand
new
And smiled when he said it was part
ly for me
And partly for Little Boy Blue.
Our Neighbor, he's not going to have
any tree,
So he says the best he can do
Is try to get something to partly give
And partly give Little Boy Blue.
Because, if he's here, it would make
him so glad,
And he said he knew it was true
That ever and ever so many folks had
A boy just like Little Boy Blue.
Our Neighbor, he calls me his Little
Boy Blue,
And said he would like to help
Our tree when it came-he would feel
that he knew
It was partly for me and for him.
He said he would fix it with lights
and wax flowers,
With popcorn and berries-you
see,
He'd like to come over and help to
trim ours
He's not going to have any tree!

It is hefnmed in by railroad yards, and

l. Qusstion-Do you think it in good taste for a
girl Of fifteen to attend the midshipmens hops at
Annapoliss
Answer-It very much depends upon
the character Of the hop and the circura-
stances. II would be in questionable
taste TO allow girl OF fifteen 10 Tegu-
larly attend the formal winter hops at
the Naval Academy, but there could oe
no possible objection to a girl of that age

INTERSTATE AGREEMENT.
Instances Where They Gould BE Pat
to Practical Use.

From the Philadelphia Record
The consent OF Congress is required to
any compact or agreement among the
States; but the right OF initiative unoues-
tionably resises IN the latter. Many such
compacts exist, relating to cessions OF
territory, fisheries, and the apportionment
OF Jurisdiction over boundary streams.
The proposal, therefore, Is not innova-
tory, but involves merely the extension
Of an existing practice. Particularly with
regard to a subject uppermost in the
governors conference. the conservation
Of interstate rivers, would the step to-
ward regulation by interstate compact be
an easy one. The individual who denudes
mountainside in West Virginia. caus-
ing freshets and erosion. with the result
ing sitting Of streams In PENNSYLVANIA
and Ohio, commits an injury 10 the lat
ter-named Commonwealths that would
reasonably be made the subject OF an
agreement between all three States re-
strictive Of timber-cutting. Great drain
age systems like that OF the Delaware
ard its tributaries might very properly
be treated as a unit; and methods might
be devised TO prevent pollution and con
serve the flow under supervision of a
body with powers similar to those Of our
State water commission, but appointed
jointly by the four contiguous States.
