THE WINDO
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 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
II seemed like a garden blooming there
With eyes that knowledge had hurt and dazed
stood and looked where the baby gazed
And million sights came to leer at me,
Sights that the baby could not see;
Sights of sorrow and sights of sin,
Marring the world had wandered in.
From the window l turned with heart like stons
Leaving the baby to gaze alone.

Lie lie toys of my chidhoods self
Little boy that used to be.
An engine fierce and woolly bear,
A battered doll with tangled wig;
bank that one time passing fair;
Some marbles top and fat toy pig.
And now have grown to be a man,
With a mans ambitions and hopes and fears.
I'll build my life larger plan
And Danish the emblems Of childhood's years.

colder voice interrupted him: Take
Alice home, Tom"
Charles Nelson stood in the doorway.
Laughing recklessly now that her
hour had struck, Kitty May started for
ward. Suddenly a change came over her
she sank in a huddled little heap on
the -waiting-waiting.
Tom led Alice away-a puzzled fright
ened wondering Alice. The boy stood
looking at his father with still dislike.
Charles Nelson had controlled the quick
tremor of surprise that had shaken him
at sight of the woman to whom his
son was trying to introduce his daugh-
ter In a stern, controlled fury he
turned on Kenneth
How dare you introduce your sister
to woman like this"
What right have you to insult this
lady?' asked Kenneth, starting toward
Nher.
Kitty had risen-the smile on her lips
was steely now-her eyes had turned
from gentian blue to the gray of re-
morseless storm. She was ready for the
victory She spoke softly-in a still
voice that held both men.
"I1e has the best right in the world!
The very, very best"
Slowly, slowly she spoke her words
distilling them like liquid poison. Slow
ly, slowly she would take her moments
of revenge-prolonging them to atone
for her moment of weakness-the mo-
ment when she had been so near re-
lenting. But now she was ready to de-
mand her pay.
Nelson famed her fury from smolder-
ing little flames to walls of fire, but he
Ignored her with the stony oblivion of
Indifference
Il must have talk with you, Ken
meth. VIII you come to me Tonight"
The boy reflected that he had got on
without his precious family for a whole
month. He had been left TO his own de-
vices-and now. to-night-they all want
ed to talk to him,
mo! Not tonight Now II you talk
TO me at all II must be here, before the
lady who is to be my wife"
He went toward Kitty protectingly, as
If to take her in his arms-and so defy
the world, II that need be.
Your Wife" Nelson just breathed
the words
There was no sound Ken stood as
II frozen to cold sculpture in the move
ment he had started to make. Kitty
stood still. waiting waiting Be
tween the boy and the woman stood
Kenneths father.
There was a horrible pause-a pause
fraught with all the shame and horror
OF sin and retribution,
Then Charles Nelson turned TO Kitty
and spoke hoarsely.

"You know herr" asked Kenneth, in
slow wonder
Does he know me-"
