his mother was constantly travelling from
theater to theater. Ever since his parents
had married they had been travelling:
from Boston to New York, to Philadelphia,
Washington, and through the cities of the
South. Then, in Richmond, when Edgar
was three years old, she died-his father
was already dead-and the boy was
adopted by Mr.. John Allan, a native Of
Scotland, who had come to America and
prospered as a merchant in Richmond
The Allans had no children of their own
and wanted to do all they could for the
orphan that fate had consigned to their
care. Edgar's first schooling was in Rich
mond. and then, when the Allans went to
England for long stay, he was sent to a
school in Stoke -Newington, which was
then a suburb of London. There he re-
manned for five years, from the time he
was six until he was eleven.
The boy at school was father of the
man of later life. Shy and proud, he never
had the ability to make friends. When
his schoolmates threw themselves into
games he stood apart, silent and gloomy.

1t was in September. 1886. that he

in pretty memory as the child wife" Her
name was Virginia Clemm. and at the time
of the marriage she was really child,
being thirteen years old. Indeed she
never quite grew up. for at the time OF
her sad death in the cottage at Fordh am
she was not yet twenty-seven. If there
was one time in his life when Poe had
his chance and should have made the
most of it, ii was in that autumn of 1886.
He had an adoring wife, devoted mother
in-law in Mrs. Clemm, and good position.
He worked hard enough-he always did
that-but he allowed bad habits to get the
better of him. Soon those at the head of
the Southern Literary Messenger decided
that they had enough of him, despite
a talent which every one had begun to
recognize, and the little family of three

coming into his money was forever gone.

money came in the form of prize Of

Edgar Allan Poe; the Boy.

Edgar Allan Poe was a man of many
cities. He was born in Boston; he spent
much of his boyhood in Richmond Va;
he was sent to school at Stoke Newington,
which is part of London; he lived in his
writing years part of the time in New York
and part in Philadelphia and he met his
untimely, tragic and mysterious death in
Baltimore. In New York and Philadelphia
he had various residences, and it was ia
the former city that most of his great
poems and short stories were written.
Unlike most men, he had no affection Tor
his birthplace His first published book
bore the title, "Tamerlane, a Poem. BY
a Bostonian," but afterwards he came to
detest Boston and usually pretended tina.
he had been born somewhere else.
But Boston it was, the date was Janu-
ary 10. 1909, and he was child of what
were known as strolling players, for his
mother was an actress, Elizabeth Arnold
whom his father David Poe, of very
good family of Maryland, had married
against the wishes of his people To be a
son of strolling players does not sound so
unhappy a fate to you now in days when
the stage is an honored profession. But
once upon a time actors and actresses
were thought to be so different from other
people that even after they died their
bodies were not allowed in Christian ceme-
teries 1t was not quite so bad as that one
hundred and fourteen years ago, but there
were still many persons who professed
Christian charity in church on Sunday
morning and yet who regarded actorfolk
as being somehow in league with the
devil.
Not only was Poe a man of many cities;
he was a child of many cities; for, born
on the road" to use the stage expression,

Edgar Allan Poe, we have one of
the saddest, if not the saddest,
of all the stories OF Americas literary men
and women. 1t is the story of a man who
died young-that Is to say, not perhaps
as you young people think of life to-day.
but as you will think of it in the future
when you have boys and girls of your
own-and yet who never seems to have
been young; OF man who was always
something of a child in his ability to take
care of himself. and yet who never seems
to have had one sunny month of carefree
childhood Remember that when you
come to think of his faults, and he had
many.
Often we picture life in connection with
the seasons or the months. April. for
instance is youth, and July and August are
the middle years and December is old age.
Poe in one of the most beautiful and
famous of his poems. "Ulalume." wrote
of October as if he felt that it was to be
the month of his doom. He called il
"The Lonesome October" when skies were
"ashen and sober" and leaves whitening
and sere." He never lived to know Oc-
tober in the sense of a period of life. II
he had he might have found it all golden

Oh, wad some power the giftie gle us

and its great figures it is worth while oc-
casionally to stop and consider just how
they are regarded by the people of other

thought to be the greatest of all Ameri-
can writer's There would be a good many
votes for Walt Whitman. whose genius
as a poet is being recognized more and
more by Europeans and possibly scatter
ing votes for Irving, Cooper. Hawthorne
and some of the later men. But in the
end there would certainly be found an
enormous majority for Edgar Allan Poe,
who has spread the fame of American
letters over the world probably more thar
all other American writers combined.

take in boarders in order to make both
ends meet. About a year was spent in the
Carmine street house, where Poe wrote his
Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym," and
then move was made TO Philadelphia. Very
likely the change was made with the idea
that Poe would be closer to the big mag

THE Gold Bug" was written around q

that sort of puzzle. In Grdhdm's Maoa-

him any kind of secret writing that
lie could not solve. and from the first
instalment of Charles Dickens's "Barnaby

quarterback or end, as others of his name

Naturally, Mr.. Allan was not pleased
and declined to consider the idea of Edgars
going back to Charlottesville, even if the
college authorities had been willing. He
wanted Edgar to go into his store as a
clerk. But that was not at all suited to
a boy of Edgar's disposition. He was
burning with the desire for adventure.
Later he imagined that at this time he had

they had not yet learned the lesson of toll

him. That was his fate through life. Men
seldom liked him; but many women did.
