THREATENED BASE

Tommy Tompkins was keen on baseball and particularly keen to make his mark as a catcher. Any hint, however small, was welcomed if it helped on his advance in his department of the game.

THE PATH TO FARMLAND

know the path to Fairyland-
 Do you? It lures you down woodland stream Where sunny ripples dance and gleam; With here a song and there a wing, And yon starry blossoming know the path to Fairyland-
 Do you? l love the path to Fairyland-
 Do you? The frowning cliffs, the caverns bold. Where slender, ferny fingers hold, The taunting echoes sweet and free, That toss in elfin ecstasy: l love the path to Fairyland~-
 Do you? l lost the path to Fairyland-
 Did you? But when across my heart of dreams X wrath of woodland sunlight gleams And witching trumpets softly blow To guide me on, as long ago, find the path to Fairyland--
 Do you? Katherine Atherton Grimes in Southern Agriculturist.
