THE WINDOW
BY WILLIAM r. KIRK

UT OF the window the baby peered
J At world that big and green and weird.
Out OF the window and far away
He looked on the morn OF a Summer day;
His big blue eyes seemed to widen and yearn
For the marvellous Truth he was yet to learn.
Wonderful world! From his baby chair
1t seemed like garden blooming there.
With eyes that knowledge had hurt and dazed
/ stood and looked where the baby gazed
And a million sights came to leer at me,
Sights that the baby could not see:
Sights of sorrow and sights OF sin,
Marring the world l had wandered in.
From the window l turned with a heart like stone.
Leaving tho baby to gaze alone.

calm and deliberate, as II she had

Would 1t not be incongruous to
hear such girl laugh all the while

the aristocratic type, the girl who

There was unmistakable authority In

the door as Tom opened it and stood
aside with the air OF a cavalier.

A little flicker of belligerency came
into Kenneth's eyes and echoed in the
firm tone of his voice. There was a
swagger of bravado in his manner. He
had a vague feeling that Alice and Tom
we're high -handedly putting 1t all over"
him. He forgot for the moment all
that had gone before. He spoke with
an ease he could scarcely be expected
to feel

with crisp directness;
"Sorry-we haven't timel"
Alice stood in the doorway, grieved
and puzzled at her brothers heavy han

aloof, with a half smile on her lips and

put her hand trustingly on his arm.
The enmity died out of Toms eyes.

with a cool incisiveness that he felt

awaken him to his own folly

Slowly before his fathers unwavering

CLEAN of understanding OF what this

A film came over his eyes. He looked
dazed. He turned his eyes from his

saw guilt--almost blood outlines there.
