The Kiss Like Seffy's.

One day he went UP to the vine

with bundle of papers in his hand

that Sally was sobbing. He raised her

When Spring Came.

That was cold and lonely winter
for the old man. The bay mare stood
in the stable and whinnied for Seffy
The old house was full of harsh
echoes. Its spirit seemed to have
gone Seffy's father knew now What
rare thing is joy-and what joy
Gus creature Sefy had been.
The ground was hard to till And
often he thought about what he had
said of Seffy's mother.
Then he would toll UP the steep
stair to the garret-he had become
quite feeble-and take out of an old
German chest a daguerreotype of her
with Seffy in her arms. And some
times he would cry over it until his
beard was wet.
God bless you, my little boy he
would sometimes say. that you cared
for her more than I did. You nefer

And sometimes, when his loneliness
was too hard to be borne, he would go
out and sit for hours and talk to the
old bay mare-about Sefry He faneied

When the spring came he plowed
alone And this was hardest of all.
To plow around and around his vast
fields with no one to meet in the
other furrow-no one to talk, to smile,
to laugh to-then, when noon came. to
sit under the shade of some tree redo
lent with memories of the pretty little
boy, where he and Seffy had sat, from
his childhood to his manhood, and eat
the food which choked
Oh, If he could only have laughed
at himself, at Seffy, at the mare, at
anybody or anythingi If he could only
have laughed!
And he knew that every animal on
the place wondered and hungered for
little Seffy and questioned him with
pathetic eyes, while he, at first, guiltily
kept silent-then tried to confess his
shame to them.
