CHAPTER v

n 7 was Christmas Eve, and George Bar
rington sat at table in one corner OF
= "Wongs" restaurant eating his supper
and waiting for his weeks pay. Beside him
sat very talkative fellow of about his
own age and build, who seemed determined
to keep his attention, and from whose lips
there flowed running fire of small talk.
At Barrington's left sat fairly we'll
dressed stranger, very drunk-his head
resting upon his arms folded upon the
table. AT the other side, and between the
talker and the drunk, sat shifty-eyed
young man with bulldog features, blurting
out sarcastic remarks about things in gen.
eral-particularly the drunk beside him.
Soon he reached over and shook the
sleeper.%Say Bo! What dye think this is
a side-door pullman? C'mon buy us
drink"
Receiving no answer, the talkative man
addressing he of the shifty eyesn said
"Hey "Snatch"-what dye say to little
game over at Mikes, eh?"
."Oh dis bloke's too soused tub go now,"
replied "Snatch" in disgust.
The "Chink" proprietor came and count
ed out seven dollars to George, saying.
"You no ketch him some job allie same
quick, you come back washee some more
dishes. pay you allight."
"Thank you," replied George. "I'm going
home for a visit"
The talkative one had risen to get his
hat from peg behind him, artfully drop
ping the hat between George and the
drunk as the "Chink" turned to leave.
"Snatch quickly leaned over, the drunk to
recover his pals hat resting his hand for
a moment apparently upon the lap of the
drunk. The hat recovered, George caught
a Aeeting glimps of wallet in the
strangers hand as it quickly reached his
pocket. A vague suspicion crossed Bar
rington's mind, but he was not sure; and
all three arose, leaving the drunk still
asleep.
George passed out of the door, followed
by "Snatch" and the tall stranger, just as
two other customers entered. There was
a momentary jam, and one of the new
comers turned and grabbed at Snatch
but missed "Snatch" ducked, and in do
ing so lost his hat, but quickly grabbing
that of Georges he rushed out into the
street, followed by his irate victims cry
of "Catch him-he's got my watch"
The now hatless George took after
"Snatch," the entire crowd following in
pursuit and yelling-"Stop thief!"
AT the corner, big broadshouldered
man wearing slouch hat grabbed the
running, hatless George.
81 guess I got you, old man. Your
pinched"
"Why, H." stammered Darlington, out
of breath and confused. "I-I-was-"
"Never mind the "con"-tell it to the
Judge!" snorted the plain-clothes man.
The victim came up. "That's one of
'em alright! Where's my watch?" de-
manded the injured citizen.
"Ahal So you're dip, eh? I thought

vERSIFICATION
By DeIiha Suraha

! /EKSlFICAIlON is the art of con-
" structing verse and verse is dis
course consisting of lines of given
length, written in language metrically ar
ranged; its chief object is to please and
to move. "The term Verse," says Sidney
Lanier, denotes set of specially related
sounds,'
All verse is written either in rhyme or
without it. Rhyming verses have cor
respondence of sound in the last syllables
of two or more lines succeeding each other
at no great distance. When two consecu-
tive lines rhyme they are called a conbIet
and the three line rhyme is the tyiblet.
The lines forming regular division of
poem are included in what is termed
Stanza. The form of the stanza, that is,
the number of lines and the character of
the metre depend upon the nature of the
subject and the taste of the writer. Every
poetical subject has musical swing which
is natural to it and this musical swing
determines the form the poem should take.
A lyrical subject should not be treated in
the heroic measure, nor should a narra-
tive poem be put in lyrical dress. The true
poet always suits the form to the subject.
A stanza usually contains four, six,
seven, eight, nine or fourteen lines. The
four-line stanza is called the gnakain;
the six-line, sestet and the seven-line stanza
the ryfhm royal The eight-line stanza
is known as the 0ttara rima and the nine
line stanza is referred to as the StenSviaa
stansa. The stanza of fourteen lines is
called sonnet and is in itself complete
poem. Though it is constructed in diff
ferent manners its normal structure is as
follows: the first four lines make up the
Major Quatrain the second four lines, the
Minor Quatrain and these eight lines make
up the Octave and contain thought from
one view point The last six lines are
called the sastet and the sestet generally
expresses the point and purpose of the
sonnet as well as the thought of the Octave
from another view point.
Rhymes may be classified as single,
double and triple, depending on the num-
Der of syllables in the last word of the
line that rhyme with the corresponding
syllables of another line in the immediate
vicinity. A rhyme is either perfect or
allowable and in the former case the vowel
sounds are the same, the rhyming syllables
are accented and the consonants preceding
the vowels are different; as in the follow
ing lines of Pope:
"Honor and shame from no condition rise
Act well your part, there all the honor lies"
In the allowable rhyme the sounds are
nearly alike, as between the words "warm"
and Charm"
Old English metre was based to great
extent on ALTERATION which consists in
the beginning of two or more words with
the same letter. Edgar Allen Poes "The
Raven" is good example of ALTERATION.
Verses are classified according to the
number of "feet' they contain. A foot
is the metrical unit by which line is
measured and usually consists of two or
three syllables, one of which is accented.
Iambic verse, in which the feet consists of
two or three syllables; is commonly used
in long English poems and (Paqe Q, Col 81
