THE LOCAL FIELD.
Waywise and Footfree

Oh, what if friend plays traitor, And what if lovers false? When frowneth the front of fate or The foot of mimx fortune halts- Why, then the man who's a man in each part
 of him, Head of him, hand of him, heart ot him End as the start of him
 Scoring fortune the hirt,
 Hideth his hurt, Serene in the battles losiug, As calm if he wins the fight, Whatever the gods send choosing (So making his own their might), Undismayed, unafraid, gives he the flower
 of him Faithfully to the last hour of him With all the power of him
 Flat foot, face to the front,
 Beareth lifeS brunt. And whether the day be sunny And whether the way be dark, Be hemloclI his cup or honey, tragedy or lark Always he knows as he goes, in the soul of
 him. Surely he knows in the whole of him That no contro of him
 Hath fate; unmastered, aye,
