CHAPTER v.
The Inside Of the House.

Inc INSIDE OF the House.
His first week in the house of
David Noel passed in a dream like
haze, for Corey Bruce. The
change had been too sudden. He
would awake in the night, clutch
ing at the cool linen sheets and
gasping in his dread of finding
the unclean prison bed beneath
him. At first, he would have to
switch on the night lamp placed
on a table beside his bed, and sit
there in the lighted room, draw
ing greedy breaths of the air that
drifted in from the garden load
ed with sweets. Perhaps he would
have to rise and walk about, or
cool his parched lips with water
fromthe carafe tEat stood near
the lamp, before he could succeed
in dissipating that wild panic and
sleep again. But gradually these
awaeknings became less frequent,
and their effect less powerful.
After a few nights, he found it
suffice to move ca his pillow, or
look toward the windows where
white tropical starsaiine made the
darkess luminous.
Throughout the rest Of his life,
he never learned t0 sleep in a
room with the blinds drawn. He
never could overcome, a suffoeat-
ing horror of blank darkness,
darkness that might conceal The
walls Of the cell where he had
first learned how black night
might be.
He was granted a few days to
reenperate, quite unmalested by
any problems, for Noel was alb
sent during that first week, and
his secretary was with him.
Benito, too, attended his master
abroad as at home; so only serv-
ants strange to Bruce occupied
then with growing confidence,
Bruce wandered through the
beautiful rooms, the wide YER

library with considerable curios-

devoted to English books, he en-

The bitter wholesomness came
to Corey Bruce with the effect of
quinie forced between the lips Of
a fever patient. He started at the
tone of the opening words, half
raised his head, then literally
obeyed the final command and
sat still, clarifying his thoughts.
oNel kept his promise Of waiting.
He dropped his cold cigar into the
garden below and lighted another,
after which he returned to watch
ing the clouds scudding across the
sky, dark masses against the
lesser darkness. A storm was
gathering over the mountains.
After a time Bruce spoke.

THE DEVASTATED LAND
Lawrence Otto Linebarger.
I-.. e - LII

Lawrence Otto Linebarger.
| know of land
That used to be grand,
Because of its forests rare;
Surrounded by fields,
And grass-covered hills
A land magnificent, fair.
The trees of her wood
Majestically stood
So beautiful and so grand;
And long agen through
They stood and they grew
Stood for the glory of man.
To him they were wealth,
To hi mthey were health,
To him they were shade and rest
And his burdened soul
Got solace untold
Protection, they were the best.
And when the suns rays
Made weary the days
The grazing cattle would run
To get in the shade
These green forests made
To shelter them from the sun.
These forests thus stood
A source of great good
To man, and birds and beast;
Year in and year out,
Age in and age out
These blessings never ceased.
But listen, Alas!
The time came to pass
When men thought that wealth
was gold;
These forests they fell,
For money did sell,
And left devastation untold.
These forests no more
As in days of yore
Doth deck that desolate land,
But wasted and bare,
And full of despair
Men left that beautiful land.
And on those hills now
The cattle doth low
For the shade that once gave
them rest;
And care-ladened man
All over the land
Doth sigh for the doomed forests.

But it differs when we're talking of

We have praise for the roses and the

For the living things about US we
have many kindly words
But we pass by friendly neighbors

And we never think to praise them

There for the first time in his life
he saw a schoolgirl go through her

was playing.
After gazing at her with looks of
interest and compassion for some
time, he asked a boy near by if she
had fits.
