knees occasionally to see whether
Miss Graf was still among those
present. They found the investi-
cation was in a recess. Across
the room sat Morgan.
Lief, with the sure-fre instinct
of a press agent. sized up the
situation before you could say
"preferred clients"
How would yon like to shake
hands with the richest man in the
wOrld?" he asked Miss Graf.
She said she would love it. Lief
took her by the hand and led her
across the room to where Morgan
was sitting.
"Miss Graf" he said, "Mr.
Morgan-Mr. J. Pierpont Nor
gam"
Morgan rose, shook hands and
bowed. 1t was a pretty deep bow,
but he negotiated it successfully.
Glow do you do" he said.
How do you do" said Miss
Graf.
There was an embarrassing ST.
lence, and Miss Graf was just
getting ready to say something
ike Looks sorta like rain,
doesn't it Mr.. Morgan" when
the photographers got into action.
Take her up on your lap, Mr..
Morgan" they shouted.
Morgan seemed a trifle con-
fused. He wanted to be chival-
rous, but after all the room was
crowded. Lief settled the prob
lem by picking Miss Graf up and
placing her on Morgan's knee.
Morgan blushed. So did Miss
Graf; in fact, she was so over
come by the glamour of the mo-
ment that she promptly sue
cumbed to the rather general
feminine practice of trying TO
disguise her age.
Glow old are you?' Morgan
asked.
"Twenty," Miss Graf said.
"She amt either" broke in
Chaperon Lief. "She's 32."
Miss Graf looked daggers at
"i'm only 20" she insisted.
"You don't look it," Morgan
said thoughtfully. "Why. I've
got a grandson bigger than you"
"Maybe so, but I'm older than
he is" Miss Graf said politely.
where do you live?" asked
Morgan, tactfully getting away
from the question of ages.
''In a tent"
Nobody could think of any
thing else to say, not even Lief,
so he lifted Miss Graf off the
Morgan knee. She came to earth
as gracefully as that other IA
NOUS Graf-the Graf Zeppelin.
Then Chairman Fletcher of the
investigating committee found out
photographers had been taking
pictures. When the recess was
over he made a public statement

had a performance and pictures
were taken of Mr.. Morgan with a
midget on his knee. | asked the
newspapers not to use this pic

and q shame"
Lief didn't agree with him.
Outside the room. he said he was
going to have the picture en-
larged about so times, print it on
canvas and hang it up outside the
ten where Miss Graf performs.
boy, will that pack 'em ln!'
he asked.
Boy. it sure will.

spectacle Of water falling out Of the sky.
Rain Is . common subject In the
Scriptures. and the narrative Of Noah's
celebrated voyage Is realistic enough:
perhaps the most poetical Of many uses
Of the word Is that In the Palms: He
shall come down like rain upon the
mown grass: Is showers that water the
earth" Buddha, too, is responsible for
an imaginative employment Of the idea
when he says. IT there be one right
eous person, the rain falls for his sake :"
Shakespeare wrote: 20 earth! I
will befriend thee more with rain than
youthful April shall with ali his
showers; in Summers drought I'll drop
upon thee. still" Milton sang: "And
now the thickened sky like q dark
ceiling stood; down rushed the rain
impetuous." Prior optimistically urged:
See daily showers rejoice the thirsty
earth
And bless the fiowery buds succeeding
birth.
And Shelley. with much the same
thought, hymned:
bring fresh showers for the thirsting
flowerA
From the seas and the streams;
bear Light shade for the leaves when
laid
In their i,oonday dreams.
Longfellow noted, "The hooded
clouds, like friars, tell their beads in
drops of rain," and Bryant reported,
THE mighty rain holds the vast en-
pire Of the sky alone"
Among the philosophers, George
Henry Lewes and John Burroughs best
essayed appreciation of the circum-
stance. The former said:
Remember that every drop Of rain
that falls bears into the bosom of the
| earth quality of beautiful fertility.
And the latter, frankly anticipating
pleasure In store, declared:
L. think rain is as necessary to the
mind IS to vegetation. My very
thoughts become thirsty and crave the
moisture.
Burroughs was a modern man. Pos
sibly he represents the modern re-
action.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON.

Pride of Possession.
You must admit. if you will trace
The worlds historic scheme,
That Favoritism has place
In every mortal scheme
He was a watch deg, so we said;
That pup with spongy feet.
He'd let you pat him Oh the head
And bring him things to eat.
He'd watch a rat hole by the hour
And with the rat in sight
He'd keep on watching. But his powr
To hypnotic was slight.
He'd watch the chicken coop with care
And when q midnight guest
Claimed all the poultry that was there,
He watched with interest.
He watched q burglar who, one night
Appeared with nerve immense,
His silent wonder at the sight
Showed great intelligence.
He is a watch dog and he gets
The best of care each day,
Nor heeds the jeering or the threats
The neighbors toss his way.
A gentle egotism reigns
Throughout all human kind.
The thing that you possess remains
Apart and all refined.
So, be you dull or be you wise
As through this world you jog,
You'll find that any dogs a prize,
Provided he's Your Dog.

and whose prompt disclosure Of the
circumstances led to the complete clear
ing of the case. The trial should be
speedy.
The marked difference between this
case and that OF the stealing and slay-
ing Of the Lindbergh child Il In all
minds. Comparisons between the pro-
cedures are inevitable. but are Of no
especial moment unless they may lead
to the determination of the most ef-
fective means of dealing with this abom-
Unable crime. Yet 1t may be that there
was no possibility of the recovery Of
the child In the Lindbergh case, that
the victim Of the kidnapers' enterprise
in that instance was slain-or possibly
died frcm accident-inmedi1tely after
the stealing. Nevertheless, the fact re-
mains that nobody has been taken for
that crime and there is no present pros
pect of the identification Of the wretches
and their punishment.
The swift conviction and imprison-
ment OF the kidrapers In the McMath
case should have deterrent effect, and
the process Of stiffening the penalties
prescribed by law for kidnapping which
began with the Lindbergh case, and
after a shcrt period of legislative activ-
ity In the States Jagged, should be car
ried ON to the point of the writing Of a
Nationwide code putting this crime in
the same category with murder. There
should be no areas in the United States
within which kidnapping can be under
taken without the risk of meeting the
fullest possible penalties.

Victory for the Law.

The McMath kidnapping has ended
with complete victory for the law. The
child has been rescued without HARM
the money paid to the kidnapsrs has
been recovered in full and the men who
stole her have been taken. This is so
unusual an outcome that the Nation
yejoices.
The two brothers who conceived and
executed the plot, now in custody and
confessing their guilt, will be promptly
tried for the crime. Under the law
OF the State of Massa achusetts, which
alone is operative, they may be sent
to prison for twenty-five years. The
father Of the child expresses the hope
that the chief figure in the enterprise,
the younger brother, will be given the
limit of the law, with clemency for
herother. whose services in the busi-
heDstppear 10 have been Subordinate.
