1T did not come in its old-time
way this year. There were no
storm tones in the softened air;
no piping OF winters old out
rider, the wind was heard; the
frost had scared but half the
leaves, and the hunter moon
smiled down as placidly as did
the harvest moon two months
ago. Even yet the housewife
was fighting the flies, and the
confused. migratory birds were
as often flying north as south.
The herdsmen still watched their
fiocks in the hills, for why come
away before there was one signal
OF the storms approach had been
flung out; before there was a sign
in the air, before one black ban
ner had been unfurled upon the
sky. So the stars shone brightly
all the night through, and only
disappeared in the warmer glow
OF the morn, and thus the morn
ings and evenings succeeded each
other, and the earth, scared and
dumb, waited as the aged wait
for their change So week after
week ent by, until there came
an evening in which a few clouds
hanked the setting sun, and by
the contrast which they made,
gave fuller glory to the gold
and purple of the sunset. They
hung there in the west when the
black-panoplied night descended.
but they carried no suspicion of
approaching change for there
was not a menace in sky or air
or upon the earth. So as families
gathered around their heartbs
they talked of the intolera bic
dust; of the sickness which at
tends upon such mild autumn
weather, and wondered if, indeed,
tie winter had not forgotten US
up on his glittering throne in
the far North. But when the
morning came the winter was
here 1t had come to the earth
as death comes to the tired man,
softly in his sleep. and those who
