So long has it been since we were in a
small town remote from hurry and stir
of factory and railroads, where one can
pursue the even tenor of life, stay at
home when you want and go when you
please, that to read "Hempfeld," by
David Grayson, now appearing in the
American Magazine, is like unto The
touch of banished hand and the sound
of voice that is STILL" His descrip-
tions are true to life, intermixed with a
humor, not hilarious but the quiet bub-
bling kind that soothes and makes all
the world akin. Hear him as follows:
Il love to think of Mort coming down
our street for the first tlme-green COM
mon with its wonderful tall elm on one
side and the row of neat stores and
offices on the other. 1t must be real
adventure to see Hempfield on a sunny
morning with new eye, to see Hen
,derson's dry goods store and catch the
ginghamy Whit from the open door,
or go byMr. Tole's drug store and breathe
in the aromatic odor of strange things
that should oe stopped up in bottles and
aren't. And then the cool smell of
newly watered sidewalks and the good
dock of tomatoes in their baskets, and
the moist onions, and the spinach and
radishes and rhubarb in front of the
shady market, and the sparrows fight
ing in the street, everything quiet and
still and homelike!" Again, How l
love to think of Mort at that moment,
that wonderful fertile, respondent,
hopeful, passionate moment. How |
love to think of him, who now SO dear
friend, quite miserable, but with half
smile on his lips, his vigorous nature
full of every conceivable possibility OF
good or evil, of success or failure, ever y
.capability of great love or great bitter
ness-Nort arm in arm with Life, tugged
at by both God and Satan, standing
there aimless, in the sunny streets OF
Hempfeld."
