But you are expecting somebody"
he said, calling attention to the table.
She flushed prettily, looking almost
as young as she had in his dreams OF
the morning, as she replied:
'I was expecting you, Gerald"
He smiled happily at her; then the
smile faded, and he sighed as he sank
into a chair.

said sadly "You could not live here
in the old days, you could do so less
now, and could not live here on an

A smile hovered over the womans
face as she fitted here and there,
busily preparing things for a meal.
Then she slipped behind a chair, and
leaning over whispered with burning
cheeks:

took her into his strong arms again.

AS the last turn brought him in

ruin, and decay, but instead he looked
upon a trim, well-kept cottage, and
soft, grooming song, in a voice which
reawakened the tender memories of

unlatched door.
Half believing that it must be fancy

spruce trees mingled with the old
fashioned green Christmas tree.
1t was toward these trees that she
walked and with every breath of the
soft, moist air, she felt invigorated.
The caress Of each tiny snowflake as It
touched her cheek was sweet to tne

THE RULE OF THE R o

~VHAT was q pertinent question asked by the States Attorney
Of . witness who had testified that in his youth Spencer,
"the' gentleman burglar" had pounded smaller boys" the
implication being that he was mentally unsound. Did you see him
pound any larger boys?" was the question, and when the witness
answered "No," the attorney said Significantly, "Thats all"
II is no sign of insanity for a boy to pound smaller boys. IT
might be il he assaulted larger boys. Big boys pound little boys
such is the way of childhood, and little boys are not supposed to COM
plain to their parents. Boyhood repeats the harsh life of the saw
ags. Howells doubts whether "small boys understand friendship"
thinks they have "no conception of generosity" and concludes that
their instinct is to get and not to give" The finer impulses have
yet to flower. "a dead horse will draw a crowd Of small boys, who
will dwell without shrinking upon the details of his putrefaction,
when they would pass by a rose tree in bloom with Indifference"
These quotations are from that remarkable book, "a Boys
Town" and here is the sum of the whole matter: "They 1.-THE boys in
a typical American vilage) were grave, like Indians, for the most
part, and they were noisy without being gay. They seldom laughed,
except at the pain or shame Of some one. I think they had no
other conception Of a joke, though they told what they thought were
funny stories, mostly about some Irishman just come across the
yea, but without expecting any one to laugh. In fact, life was a
very serious affair with them. They lived in a state Of outlawry in
the midst Of invisible terrors, and they knew no rule but that of
might"
There was profound and poignant truth in The Evening World
cartoons entitled "Them Was the Happy Days" They were not.

TOMORROW FOR THE CITIES.

-$HE "Masquo Of the Cities" presented here last week, carried
q reminder that the history Of civilization is chiefly a city
history, that the recorded loyalties Of men have been mainly
city loyalties, and that the things which tempt them to travel are
chiefly city things. Those two words OF derogation, pagan" and
"hsathen," declare the classic disparagement of everything remote
from the forum-that great white way Of antiquity.
There are no citystates nowadays, and mems loyalty is to a
larger unit. Politically, the city has been sighted and has suffered
for it in welfare and public repute. 1t is q fact Of significance that
the cities are again coming into their own as objects Of mems in
terest and devotion. Their elections re no longer treated as "the
first gun in the next Presidential election" New York will be
spared the folly Of another Tracy campaign on a "god standard"
platform. The alignments Of the national political parties arc no
longer strictly observed. Fusion movements, citizens tickets and
independent voting have become common. Home rule for cities, a
complete fact nowhere, is nevertheless making ground everywhere.
By and by ripper legislation" will become morally impossible and
there will be general recognition that the city has a right within its
vwp sphere to govern itself.
BY and by there may be q Masque Of the Cities that can be rep
rsssntative and yet not q Rakes Progress. People will be almost as
reesd Of their well-ordered hives Of population as Athenian or Spar
tan wa, and will give 30 their administration and ~bettermcnt a
devotion but little less.
This city is developing q character Of it's own and will have a
civic spirit in its likeness. Frederic Harrison says in his "Reisebnder
old and New" that the tendency is for nl communities large and
ANAL to sssimlate to "a common type, q commonplace type" But
Nov York, at least, is set apart. 1t has distinctive features in a
colonial and revolutionary background and a brief career as the ma
ti0nal capital; in q maritime location, with engirdling waters and
keaohes; in q world commerce; in q threshold service to the old-wold
immigrant, symbolised in the Statue Of Liberty; in immense bridges,
titanic architecture, environing parks.
The citizen who measures up to the history, the signifcances
nj the opportunities Of this town should be a size larger than
etAer men.
The evening world., 1911-11-20
THE HIKING ACE.

KAYBE the rising generation has fiat feet, but it makes better
lVI use Of them than its predecessor did. The city man of yes
*V@ terday used a car for any distance beyond four blocks. The
farmer Of yesterday hhched up his horse for journeys of more than a
half mile, reasoning, doubtless, that otherwise he would be getting less
than a full return for his investment in livestock. Every country lad
calling on his sweetheart Sunday afternoon drove to her house, scorn.
ing walking as the hobos hallmark.
That this is changing newspaper columns attest daily. Walking
clubs abound in the schools and at least one church in this town
sends its lads out on Sunday jaunts. Hikes of arilerymen from
New York to PeekskilI or Albany, and of students from home to
college, are so multiplying as to diminish their news value. A thin
stream Of transcontnental walkers keeps the dust rising on the roads
between here and Los Angeles, and most Of them bear letters from
Mayor Gaynor. Other pedestrians have made the circuit of the city
and even of the country. People are tramping on wagers, or so they
allege. They are trundling wheclbarrows, or walking beside OK teams
that haul their womenfolk. They live by charity, by lectures" by
selling postcards, by giving concerts, by vending nostrums.
r A craze, maybe, but a rational one. To subsist cheaply, to win
and hold perfect health and to sec people and things-is this not
to live? Pleasure has been defined as "a sensation Of gentle motion"
You get it on the roads.

MAGIC MONEY.
N old woman lived all alone OF

A N old woman lived all alone on a
~ large farm not very far from
4 here. Stories OF how very rich
she was were circulated far and wide.
Yet she never bought herself my pref
ty clothes. but always wore a waist
skirt and a Bingham apron.
And because Of this every one thought
she was a witch. And many people
would sit up at night. long after the
Sandman had %sprinkled sand in their
eyes. and tell OF how strangely she
used Ter money. .
One day when Bessie and Jessie
passed her house she was standing In
the garden path.

They were very much afraid OF her
and thought that to be friendly to her
was best. She smiled and answered:
GOOD morning! Won't you como in
for q few mdnutes7 have something
nice to give you"
At FIRST Bessie and Jessie were afraid
to accept her invitation. but she looked
at them so kindly that they DID 60
into her house. anyway.
After she had shown the children
around the quaint old house with Its
spinning wheel and big porcelain stove
she led them up a r!ckety flight of
stairs to the attic.
You are the very sweetest children
that | ever knew n l shall try TO

She unlocked a door. And there. be-
fore them. was a room filled with gilt.
tering gold coins.

woman. ''and It can only be spent fol
