CHAPTER w
The prOdigaI.

A westbound express train was
rafting down the mountains. 1t
was early spring even among the
hills. OCCASIONAL patches of color
flashed by, where dogwood and
laurel, hardy pioneers, waved de-
fiance to departing winter. Back
in the flat lands, passengers on
the train had caught glimpses of
farmers, busy with their spring
blowing. Field and forest were
astir, thrilling in a new life, bring
ing forth new life.
A man on the train, dividing his
attention between the panorama
without and the fretful child on
his knee, to his surprise discover
ed in a Pickering inward glow a
feeble response to the life without.
He was going home, with fear and
little hope in his heart, yet he
caught himself counting the mile
posts with growing eagerness, as
the train swung around the hills.
'The eternal witchery of
spring" he murmured to himself,
filling our hearts with life and
hope-false hope, sometimes" He
repressed his mood YEARLY and
turned his attention to humoring
the child, who was becoming rest

Out of the mountains ratified
the train, through smoky tunnels,
around sharp curves, into tie foot
hills. A yellow brick station
flashed by.

named the station. "Just sixty
miles more!"
The child was asleep now and
he turned once more to the flying
scenery. Familiar touches in the
landscape greeted him. A strang-
er would have turned away, since
man had added no beauty to those
hills. But he was a prodigal, re-
turning from the far country, and
he eyed them with a certain visit
full friendliness - yellow brown
streams r!-cning away from the
iron and sulphur beds; great, gap
ing holes in the hillsides, with
their attendant pyramids of coal;
oil derricks, tossed aloft like huge
ladders resting on the clouds; the
coke ovens, hundred red eyes
cleaning through the dusk; de-
tached factories, outposts of the
great Industrial army.
The train stopped. A newsboy
came aboard, crying the evening
papers. A passenger who occupied
the seat in front of the man with
the child bought one.

The pope never likes to refuse gifts offered by good catholics; but an aero plane would appear to be about as use ful as a white elephant at the vatican, and his holiness, accordingly, expressed his appreciation of the spirit which prompted the offer, and while intimat- ing that he had the greatest interest in aviation and confidence in it's future, explained that he really had no use for an aeroplane, for the present, at any rate.
