Radcliffe found himself thinking of
Jude and her problems. The Tylers had
taken an extraordinarily firm hold up
on him. 1t seemed to him that he had
known them for years.
When this cruise was over and he
packed up his traps and left them, he
would probably never. see them again.
Jude and Satan would go their way
and he would go his way-and what
would happen TO Jude? Suppose Satan
were TO die, get knocked on the head
or fall to the smallpox The thought
hurt him almost as much as II hurt
Satan: for Jude had. somehow or an
other, captured his mind and touched
his heart, and her youth and absolute
responsibility before the major facts
Of life had infected him in the most
extraordinary name
He was engaged In these reflections

sold the opera outright, with several
plays, for $50 pounds. Probably he
got so pounds for Home, Sweet

The song was later revised to the
form in which we know it. Here is its
original form:
Mid pleasures and palaces though we
may roam,
Be II ever so humble, there's no place like
home.
A charm from the skies seems to hallow
us there.
CLike the love of n mother,
Surprising all other.)

Where our Infancy played.
Even stronger than time. and more deep
than despair.
An exile from home. splendor dazzles in

Oh. give me my iowly. matched cottage

The birds and the lambkins that came
at my call.
Those who named me with pride.
Those who play'd by my side

roam
Only swell my hearts anguish. There's
no place like home.

Is dong the same thing.
For a century the poets have as
sured us that the words are not great.
For n century the musicians have as
sured us that the music is not great.
Both the poets and the musicians may
be right. But little the world cares.
During that century these same words
and music have become II folk-song
of the world. No other song ever writ
ten can be sung by so many people
without the aid of printed words and
music.

Stephen G. Fosters "Old Folks at

The poets and musicians of the next
century probably will tell posterity
that neither the words nor music of

homes, and men wander and homesick-
ness grips the wanderers.
There used to be a story that
Home, Sweet Home was written by
Payne on n tattered envelope in n
driving rain under a lamp post when
he was n ragged and hungry tramp In
a foreign land. All wrong. Listen to
Payne himself:
81 first heard the air in Italy. One
beautiful morning as l vas strolling
alone amid some delightful scenery,
my attention was arrested by the sweet
voice of a peasant girl who was carry
ing a basket laden with flowers and
vegetables. This piaintive air she
trilled with so much sweetness and
simplicity that the melody at once
caught my fancy. l accosted her. and.
after a few moments conversation, |
asked her for the name of the song,
which she could not give me, but hav-
ing some slight knowledge Of music
myself, barely enough for the purpose,
l requested her to repeat the air. which
she did, while I jotted down the notes
as best l could. II was this air that
suggested the words of Home, Sweet
Home both of which ! sent to Bishop

Payne. nt the time to which he re-
fers, was In Paris and in comfortable
circumstances, working on his opera,

II is probable that Home, Sweet

Satan had unlashed he wheel and
was standing by it, now that the main.

crew.; and to Radcliffe, as he labored
with Jude getting the ~foresail and lib
on her. the truth came in a flash that
this was the real thing. The lazy peace
OF the last couple of days had broken
all at once. Activity, Adventure, and
Danger seemed suddenly to have
boarded the old Sarah Tyler and deliv.
cred her as a prey to enormous and
unknown forces.
Then. when the anchor was aboard

With the wind on the starboard beam

to sou'west the Natchez with all sail
set In pursuit.
Radcliffe, taking his seat on he bot.

she steered, the old panama on the

from the biAnacle to the huff of the
mainsail.
A mile or more behind them the
Natchez showed, a triangle of pearl,
Palm island had vanished, and nothing
remained in all the wheel of sea but a
trace of smoke to the southward-the
smoke of some freighter hull down on
the horizon.
The sturdy little figure at the wheel
seemed to nave forgotten his existence.
Then suddenly, and with .ae vehe-
mence and force of a pres"..er driving
home a point from INC pulpit, she
spoke:
"Air you stuck to the bottom of that
dinghy with cobbler's wax?'
He laughed and stood up.
That's right said Jude. "NOw
come'n take the wheel. You've got to
learn to handle her now if you want
to. Go behind me and look over my
shoulder-that's right"
He stood behind her. wondering
what the next command would be. 1t
came almost at once.
"Stick your eye on the compass

"Slong as the pointers like that
she's on her course. Now I'll let her
off a smoke or two-keep your eye on

The pointer altered It's Indication,
and the malnsail seemed suddenly at

Now she's on her course again
said Jude, altering the wheel. Take

He took the spokes she had been
holding as she ~relinquished them. and
the first sensation that came to him
was the feeling that he had taken hold
of something alive. something alive
and sensitive as a hare. The wheel
seemed to have a motive power n
wvl of its own, and the Internal COM
pass card to take affront at the least
movement of the helm.
Jude rested her hand on his left

confidence. and at the touch Of her
firm little hand the ~stagefright that
