PART ONE

BY the end of October, with the dis
persal Of that foliage which has served
all summer long as a pleasant screen
for whatever small privacy may exist
between American neighbors, we begin
to get our autumn high tides of Cos
sip. At this season of the year, in u
towns of moderate size and ambition,
where apartment houses have not yet
condensed and at the same time
sequestered the population, n may
secure visual command of back yard
beyond back yard, both up and down
the street especially if one takes the
trouble TO sit for an hour or so, daily,
upon the top Of a high board fence at
about the middle of a block.
OF course an adult who followed
such a course would be thought pc
culiar; no doubt he would be subject
to undesirable comment, and presently
might be called upon to parry severe
If, indeed, not hostile inquiries; but
boys are considered so inexplicable
that they have gathered for them
selves any privileges denied their
parents and elders; and a boy can do
such a thing as this to his full content,
without anybody's thinking about it at
all. So it was that Herbert Illings-
worth Atwater, Jr., aged thirteen and
a few months, sat for a considerable
time upon such a fence, after school
hours, every afternoon Of the last week
in October; and only one person par
ticularly observed him or was stimu-
lated to any mental activity by his
procedure. Even at that. this person
was affected only because she was
Herbert's relative, and Of an age sym
pathetic to his-and Of a sex antipa-
thetic.
In spite Of the fact that Herbert H.
lingsworth Atwater. Jr., thus seriously
disporting himself on his fathers back
fence, attracted only this audience of
one (and she hostile at a rather dis
tant window his behavior really
should have been considered piquant-
ly interesting by anybody. After climb
ing to the top of the fence he would
produce from interior pockets a small
memorandum book and a pencil sell

mediate use. His expression was
gravely alert. his manner more than
businesslike; yet nobody could have
failed to comprehend that he was en-
joying himself, especially when his at
titude became tense-as at times it

presently she sighed and quietly left

ment. where, at a small and rather
battered little white desk, after a pc
riod of earnest %reverie, she took up
a pen, wet the point in purple ink, and
without any great effort or amy criti-
cal delayings, produced a poem.
1t was, in u sense. an original poem {;

literary offerings, it was so strongly

explained later in good faith, the words
just seemed to come to her-doubtless
with either genius or some form of
miracle involved; for sources of in
SEPARATION are seldom recognized by in
spired writer's themselves. She had
not long 6 been party to a musical
Sunday afternoon at her great-urcle
Joseph Atwater's house where Mr..
Cairdyce, that amiable and robust
baritone, sang some of his songs over
and over again, as long as the re-
quests for them held out. Florence's
poem may have begun to coagulate
within her then.

That was what most injured their
lone observer at the somewhat distant
back window. upstairs at her own
place of residence; she found their i'm
portance almost impossible to bear
without screaming. Her p~rOvocation
was great; the important Importance
of Herbert and his friend, impressive
~ ~maneuvering upon their fence, was
so extreme as to be all too plainly Wis
ible across four intervening broad
back yards; in fact. there was almost
reason to suspect that the W per-
formers were aware of their audience
and eve of her goaded condition and
that they sometimes deliberately In
creased the o-utrageousness of their
Importance because they knew she
was watching them. And upon the
Saturday of that week, when the note
book writer's were upon the fence at
intervals throughout the afternoon,
Florence Atwater's Fascinated indigna-
ton became vocal.
"vile things! !" she said.
Her mother, sewing beside another
window of the room. looked up In
quiringly.

to amuse myself at their expense"
Mrs. Atwater murmured >deprecat-
ingly. Couldn't you find some other
way to amuse yourself, Florence?"
~ don't call this amusement" the
inconsistent girl responded, not with
out chagrin. 'Think I'd spend al my
days starin' at Herbert nlingsworth
Atwater, Junior, and that nasty little
Henry Rooter, and call it amusement"
"Then why do you do 1T"
"Why do I do what, mama?' Flor
ence inquired as If in despair Of Mrs.
Atwater's ever learning to put things
clearly.
why do you spend all your days
watching them? You don't seem able
to keep away from the window, and
it appears to make you irritable. l

play with them you'd be too proud"
"Oh, good heavens, mama!"
Don't use expressions like that.

"Well," said Florence, II got to use

of wantin' to play with those two vile
things! My goodness mercy, mama, l

He was not always alone; he was
frequently joined by a friend, male,
and, though shorter than Herbert,
quite as old and this companion was
inspired, it seemed, by motives pre-
cisely similar to those from which
sprang Herbert's actions. Like
