SCATTER SEEDS OF KINDNESS.

Be kind 10 the unfortunate
Have pity on the wight
Who, through some evil trick OF fate
Has never started right
The very man whose timid plea
For succor you refuse,
Some day q millionaire may be
And own q stock OF booze.
Spun not q sister In distress
Though blackened be her eye
Though wild manner, soil her dress,
All do not pass her by;
For II you crush her with q glance
How foolish you will look
II later on, BY any chance,
You learn that she's q cook.
Stretch fosth q helping hand 10 him
Who calls on you for aid
man whom circumstances grim
A woeful wreck have made.
Some day he may come out on top
And You will get . jar,
II ever he's q traffic cop
The day you speed your esr.
Do not refuse The hungry man
Who asks you for Q meal;
Respond a. freely a. you can
To his low voiced appeal
For you will have horrid shock
II he should be by chance
Inspecting baggage on the dock
The day you land from France.

In response to investigations of hers,
seemed to point that way: Don't you
think" he said, "really, don't you
think that being things is rather better
than doing things?"
He said "rahthuh bettuh" for "rather
better" md seemed to do 1t deliberate
ly, with perfect knowledge of what he
was doing. Later, Lucy Knocked him
to George, and George refused to
smile: he somewhat inclined to such
pronunciations, himself. This inclina-
ton was one Of the things that he had
acquired in the four years.
What else he had acquired, II might
have puzzled him to state, had any
body asked him and required direct
reply within a reasonable space OF
time. He had learned how to pass ex-
aminations by "cramming;;" that is, in
three or four days and nights he could
get into his head enough Of selected
fragment Of some scientific Of philo-
sophical or literary or linguistic sub
ject to reply plausibly to six questions
out of ten. He could retain the infor-
long enough to give a successful per-
Torrance; then it would evaporate ut
terly from his brain, and leave him I'M
disturbed. George, like his crowd"
not only preferred "being things" to
"doing things" but had contented HIM
self with four years Of "being things"
as q preparation for going Oh "being
things" And when Lucy rather shyly
pressed him for his friends probable
definition of the things" 1t seemed so
superior and beautiful to be, George
raised his eyebrows slightly, meaning
that she should have understood with
out explanation; but he did explain:
"Oh, family and all that-being gen.
tleman, suppose"
Lucy gave the horizon long look,
but offered no comment.
"Aunt Fanny doesn't look much bet
ter" George said to his mother, few
minutes after their arrival, on the
night they got home. Doesn't she get
over 1t at allf I thought she'd feel
better when we turned over the insur-
ance to her-gave 1t to her absolutely.

"She looks quite girlish, sometimes,

"Not so MUCH" Isabel said thought
fully. "But she will, AZ time goes on"

things which are the good ones and

sorts of things" as he explained TO
Lucy. What his crowd had gone In for
remained ambiguous; some negligent
testimony indicating that, except for
an astonishing reliability which they
all seemed to have attained in matters
relating to musical comedy. they had
not gone in for anything. Certainly

had leaned suddenly close to him and
left upon his cheek the veriest feather
from fairy's wing.
She wrote him a month later:

Old Bronson had risen from his

Lucy Morgan Let me see: seem
to remember the name. Didn't know
some Lucy Morgan or other. once upon

white head ei,d stroke your long white
beard-you'd have such distinguished
long white beard! and you'd say, No.

about 1t and what you were saying |!
Good-by for today. Don't work too
hard-dear"
George Immediately seized pen and
paper, plaintively but vigorously re-
questing Lucy not to imagine him with
a beard. distinguished or otherwise,
even in the extremities Of age. Then.
after inscribing his protest in the mat
ter of this visioned beard, he con-
cluded his missive in a tone notified
to tenderness and proceeded to read
letter from his mother which had
reached him simultaneously with
Lucy's. Isabel wrote from Asheville.
where she had just arrived with her
husband:
II think your father looks better al
ready, darling, though we've been here
only a few hours. 1t may be we've
found just the place to build him up.
The doctors said they hoped 1t would
prove to be, and If 1t is, 1t would be
worth the long struggle we had with
him to get him to give up and come.
I'm afraid that In my anxiety to get
him to do what the doctors wanted
him to, i wasn't able tn back up Broth
er George, as should In his difficulty
with Sydney and Amelia. I'm so sorry !!
George Is more upset than I've ever
seen him-they've got what they want
ed, and they're sailing before long, l
hear, to live In Florence. Father said
he couldn't stand the constant per-
suading-Tm afraid the word he used
was 'nagging.' l can't understand peo-
pie behaving like that. George says
they may be Ambersons, but they're
vulgar I'm afraid almost agree with
him. At least, think they were in
considerate.
"We plan to stay six weeks If the
place agrees with him. 1t does really
seem to already! He's just called in
the door to say he's waiting. Don't
smoke too much, darling boy.
"Devotedly, your mother,
ISABEL"
But she did not keep her husband
there for the six weeks she ANTICIPATED.
She did not keep him anywhere that
long. Three weeks after writing this
letter, she telegraphed suddenly to
George that they were leaving for
home at once; and four days later.
when he and friend came whistling
into his study, from lunch at the club,
he found another telegram upon his
desk.
He read It twice before he compre-
hended its import.
