LET THE IMAGINATION LOOSE
Well for Many Of u Would Be 4 Re-
turn 70 Belief In Gods and
Fairies.

When the world was young, people
believed that spirits dwelt In trees, In
storms and in mountains. When the
wind blew they heard the voice Of
Boreas, when the ocean beat with un-
usual force against the rocks they
knew Neptune was angry with them.
PhaetOn, the glorious son Of HeliOs,
daily drove his chariot sun across the
heavens; Jove flashed his ~displeasure
in the ~lightnings, and gods looked
down from the stars at night or dwelt
on earth disguised as flowers Of the
meadow.
Nowadays there IL q growing ten.
dency, fortunately for art and poetry,
to again let the Imagination loose.
There is a conscious effort being made
by many grown-ups to stay young by
keeping in touch with youth, with the
lore Of the gods and legendary folk.
Age comes when we no longer believe
In beauty, in gods and fairies, when we
deny fancy for what we r pleased to
call fact, when we no longer peer
among the flowers for their spirit, but
tear them apart that we may count
their petals or e how their stamens
are formed.
Now, the first people, In order not
to 80 far forget themselves as to for
get the gods, made images Of them and
set them about their gardens or In
their houses, where they could be con.
stantly To this very day a stone
or wooden Buddha sits under q
matched shelter at. the head Of the
rice fields in Japan that the laborers
may see him and thus remember to In.
woke his aid with their crops, and
every Italian garden has a shrine or an
image Of a god or goddess. Thus the
world of worship, imagery, legend and
history Is kept in remembrance.-The
Craftsman.

On the Breast
Of the Waters
By

1copyriglat, 1916. b. ". g. Chapman.l
The prisoner IN cell 45 was for
tunate, for he had an unobstructed
view OF what was called the finest
sight In the world--the great stretch
Of the river by moonlight, and the
high buildings opposite, lit like d
fairyland. But what are city views to
9 man who IL serving a sentence Of AZ
teen years.
Fifteen years! Dents blood had run
cold when the Judge pronounced that
inexorable verdict. And Dent was con-
sidered lucky! He had killed a man
whom, In his insane jealousy, he sup
posed to have betrayed his young wife.
Before he went to the ~penitentiary he
knew that Lucille had forgotten him.
Later he learned Of the child's coming.
Fifteen years! He had watched Lu.
Giles face that last time they met,
and In the forgiveness he had seen no
love. He had killed that forever.
When he learned that she was seek
Ing a divorce he bowed to the newt
able. Fifteen years means the best
part Of a mans life, at any time.
Then he learned Of her divorce, Inter
news came OF her remarriage. They
ceased to correspond. OF course, and
all the convict's hopes Of life shrank
to that spot Of future freedom, unbe-
nevably small and distant. There were
twelve long years still to be- served.
And he seemed to have lived through q
LIES agony already.
Dent looked down through the slit
Of a window. It vas just wide enough
to admit the passage Of a mans body

SEPTEMBER

The goldenrod Is yellow,
 The corn Is turning brown, The trees in apple orchards With, fruit are bending down; The gentian's bluest fringes Are curling in the sun; In dusty pods the milkweeG It's hidden silk has spun. The sedges Haunt their harvest In every meadow nook, And asters by the brooa1side Make astera in the brook; Frcm dewy lanes at morning TaC &rapeS sweet odors rise; At noon the roads all flutter With yellow butterflies By all these lovely tokens September days are here, With summers best of weather And autumn's best of cheer.
