Poets Corner
THE MAN IN THE CAB.

Dedicated to the spring poets.)
Safe and snug in the sleeping car
Are father and mother and dreaming
child;
The night outside shows never a star,
For the storm is thick and the wind
is wild.
The frenzied train in it's all.night race
Holds many soul in it's fragile
walls,
While up in his cab, with smoke
stained face,
Is the man in the greasy overalls.
Through the fire-box door the heat
glows white,
The steam is kissing at all the cocks,
The pistons dance and the drive wheels
glide
o'er the trembling rails till the whole
earth rocks.
But never a searching eye could trace,
Though the night is dark and the
wind appalls,
A line Of fear on the smoke-stained
face
OF the man in the greasy overalls.
No halting, wavering coward is he,
As his engine dashes around the
curve,
But a peace-encompassed Grant or Lee
With a heart Of oak and an iron
nerve.
And so I ask that you make place
In the Temple of Heroes sacred
halls,
Where may hang the smoke-stained
face
OF the man in the greasy overalls.

THE SCAR.
BY Ernest Poole.

by ETucob IOoit.
Big Franz Czebech had already been
in New York two years, and he had
worked in a foundry. A tall, bushy-
haired, stoop-shouldered, Hungarian
giant-he stood in small Gagged
room, looking steadily through the cage
at a doorway-waiting. This was
"Lover's Lane" the spot on Ellis
Island where the fore-runners meet the
wives and children whom they have
sent for. An inspector here swore to
me that he had seen hundreds of thou.
sands Of kisses year. Here the fore
runner is Gagged until he can prove that
this woman is his wife, these children
his children. In the human order Of
things, this is soon done-by the
glance Of the eye, an explosive breath,
loud sudden laugh, an excited caper'
ing child, or a torrent of words
swift questions and answers, all of
which often continues right through
the inspectors interrogatiops = and
comes to climax when the cage door
Is opened Greetings doubly dramatic
from the contrast in garb and in bear
ing.
Big Franz was now an American.
The stiff Sunday suit, collar, red tie
and gray felt hat--these were but sur
face signs. Deeper signs--the jaws
had set, since the days in the dull
country hamlet; the huge calloused
hands had been trained to a steel mill
job; the face had grown leaner and
filled with the lines Of new thoughts,
new desires, new struggles. The eyes
once accustomed to fields and primitive
plows and sleepy old horses and distant
chimes-these eyes had been fixed on
strange night pictures, furnace mouths,
steam hammers, red squirting steel.
"Heigh, you! Wake upl Look
alive I" The peasant changed into a
workman.
Big Franz pulled a cheap silver
watch from his pocket. Ten minutes
past five. The night gang went on at
seven. With quick, impatient jerk
of the head, he glanced at the door.
And Just at this moment Hungary
entered Hungary, light haired and
rosy beaming; face framed in white
and red shawl; below il, a gay red
checkered homespun dress; below that,
big wooden shoes clattering, hands
dragging Marie and curbing plump
tiny Franz Junior. One eager look, a
flash, a quick cry and n laugh, and
but here the smiling inspector stepped
in. Bewildered, she turned to his
desk and impatiently answered the
questions; while by her side, with one
chubby hand buried deep in the safe
skirts Of his mother, the other chubby
hand plunged in his gaping mouth
Franz Junior stared at the big man
in the cage, whose face was twitching
and grinning, and whose eyes showed
an alarming hunger. Franz Junior
solemply stared. Suddenly, with one
jerk he pulled his fist from his mouth,
inclined his stout little body slightly
forward, looking hard, frowned--and
then slowly an answering grin spread
from his mouth to his ears-and the
next instant he turned and dove far
into the skirts Of his mother.
At this moment big Franz turned
and saw us-impudent grinning by
ISLANDERS. He scowled and his face
grew embarrassed. And when the
door was opened and the beaming
woman came rushing to meet him, he
looked down awkward and sheepish
Then he laughed, manfully kissed her
hard, and lifted the plump one up into
his arms, and bent his shaggy head
his big gnarled hand pressed tighter

and tighter, and when the head lifted
there was vivid spot on the cheek
OF little Franz Junior.
Franz Senior looked down at his wife
and laughed low, deep, bursting
laugh; and pushed back his hat and
leaned over to tickle Marie who still
clung to her mother. AS he did so,
the wife gave aquiek cry OF horror.
He stopped and looked at her aston
ished. She was staring up at his high
forehead.
The hat pushed back had revealed a
long hvid line, which began just over
one eye and ended in the shaggy locks
over his right temple. just for a mo-
ment, that ibeaming look Of hope had
left her face, and dread was in it's
place. As for little Marie, she took
one look and jumped quickly behini
her mother. But no so wee Franz
Junior. He knew With bound he
was up again and feeling the livid
scar and chuckling. And his father
chuckled too. A few Of those strange
Hungarian words, and the wife knew
what many wives know about steel
mills. Later on Marie was TO learn
