Taking it for granted that this was
right, Margie wasn't a bad bet for
him. This poetry stuff of hers don't
look like no stall. She had succeeded
in dropping him, and it was easy to
leave him lay. Furthermore, being
split with Margie has played hell with
Willie. He is on the bench and not
even doing so good there. Joe Alvis is

but the club is plenty worried.
Three long distance calls come in
from Margie, but Willie won't talk to
her. He just sits like wooden Indian.
Then one day he gets letter from her.
He starts to throw it away, but get
him to read it. And this is all the letter
says:

That was all. 1t smacked Willie hard
- no mistake. 1t struck me as queer,
too, because l didn't think the cluck
could write no such stuff as that. 1t
was nutty, of course; but I could see
what she was driving at.
And then, every day there comes a
letter just like the first one. Each poem
had the title - ITO Willie" and they
was each signed ''Margie." Here's
another one of them:
My eyes are dim ,0ith childish tears,
My heart is idly stirred,
For the same sound is in my ears
Which tn those days I heard.

able to write this stuff. So I went to a
college lad knew and repeated some
of the lines.
Wordsworth" he says. "She's
bought volume OF his poems and is
sending them as her own. Doesn't
Willie know the difference?"
NO" says. He thinks she is
writing them"
And he did think so. He thought
about it so much that one night when
we was in Chi. he breaks the ice and
mentions her name.
"Her poetry" he says suddenly,
sis beautiful"
We'll" says, thinking of what the
educated lad had told me, ''it ought
to be-"
Il wonder :" and he looks at me
with hopeful light in his eyes. II
wonder whether - things - have
changed her?'
That has got me puzzled, too, I'm
free to admit. Up to the minute Willie
busted in on the poetry-reading party.
Margie had been playing him for
good-time lad, just a break from the
wise-cracking turnips she had been
running around with. But l know
something about danes like Margie.
