MADMAN'S STORY
BY WILLIAM DUDLEY FoULkE

BY WILLIAM DUDLEY FoULkE
He stopped me when / tried to pass;
he would rot let me 60. &c..
And. deathly pale, he told his tale In
hollow voice and low:
Through weary days Of storm and
sleet, in the long trench I stood,
While at my side my comrades died
and felt the fresh warm blood
Oozing around my ankles, yet l had to
stand and fire,
Mid bursting shells and shrieks and
yells and smoke and stencil and
mire
At last the order came to charge.
Forth from the trench we go,
With ringing cheers to drown our
fears, we dash across the snow!
And then from somewhere all unseen,
:, as If from out the sky,
A cracking sound! and on the ground
our mangled bodies lie!
Now from behind fresh troops appear
i do not mind the pain
1 watch them pass. rushing mass,
DER barbados of slain
Then they, too, fall in that wild hell,
they writhe in mortal throes,
Till seek to hide where at my side
human hillock grows!
I swoon-and when l wake again the
starry night has come;
The noise of the fray has passed away
the sound of shot and bomb
And all is calm beneath the stars, no
shout nor call nor groan;
With the silent dead on that cold bed
l am lying there alone!
l try to crawl from the CHASTITY pile. 0
God! l see it stir!
1t heaves and then is still again-a
human sepulcher!
I can not lift hand or foot, so like
corpse am l,
Yet I scream and rave by that living
grave as on the ground lie.
And when at last they bring me home.
it presses round my bed;
Thro' the sitting night it holds me
tight. thta specter of the dead!
O stranger! help! o drive away these
phantoms from my brain.
And set me free from the memory of
that awful heap of slain!"

The remodeled house is often more
comfortable, charming and satiofIin
than one huiit new. Buying a house
already built is much like purchasing
clothes ready-made; it is never quite
a perfect fit: there Is never perfect
harmony with individual needs and
requirements. RemOdeliDg makes it

ed advantage that the general plan

An old house endeared through
years OF occupancy and association
grows into familiar adjustment to
the needs of the family. But usually
there comes a growing realization OF
the many ways in which it might be
altered and improved. The growing
family requires more rooms or chang
ed arrangements, or the taste Of the
owner becoming finer with the years

of ground may be made a veritable de-
light with charm all it's own.
From the front stoop to the back
fence the interior of the house with
It's architectural features, it's furnish
ings and it's decorations, should all be
considered as a unit. And 1t is this
conception of it In its unity that will
give the fine harmony essential In per-
feet remodeling. And the interior can
be SO changed by rebuilding within
the walls, by alterations, by re-deco-
rating and by refurnishing to accord
with the owners taste that he will
realize the Joy not OF living in a mere
ready-made house, but in one that in
carnates his individuality in his home.
How to Change Interior.
Remodeling the interior of house
may be either architectural or deco
rative in its character or may combine
both features of improvement. A rear
extension may give opportunity for
the making of an extra bath room and
sleeping chamber or the addition OF a
library, smoking room, conservatory,
billiard room, breakfast room or some
other room long desired but heretofore
impossible. The additional space thus
acquired may be diverted into increas-
ing the size of other rooms that have
proved too small for the growing
needs of the family.
Sometimes an alcove supplanting a
doorway, long high stained glass
window set into the wall of room,
the changing of a conventional narrow
front window into a wide bay, the
building of tempting window seat,
the installing of an open fireplace, the
remodeling Of interior doors may be
architectural changes that literally
transform the house and give a real
glow of new pleasure to the home.
Decorating brings whole floor into
the same key of color and harmonizes
wall coverings and draperies, with the
furniture, connecting the disturbances
that often come unknowingly into a
home by the accumulation of furni-
ture bought at different times and
growing into stronger rebellion of con-
trast. True decorating unifies. simpli-
flies and harmonizes all details in per-
feet accord with one dominant note.
