Noble's expression took on a cold
ness; for the word hrouxtit to his
mini! n thotijjht of New land Saunders.
This was a poet of Noble's age, who
wrote vtrses to Julia that too-lovely,
absent aunt of Florence's. "Do I like
poetry?" said Nohle. "No, I don't."
Florence was momentarily discour
aged hut at Jier up- people usually
possess an Invaluable faculty which
they lose later In life; ami It Is n pity
they do lose it. At thirteen especial
ly the earlier months of thirteen
they are still able to set aside and
dismiss from their minds almost any
facts, no matter how audibly those
facts have asked for recognition. Chil
dren superbly allow themselves to be
come deaf, so to speak, to undesirable
circumstances; most frequently, -.of
course, to undesirable circumstances
li the way of parental direction; so
that fathers, mothers, nurses, or gov
ernesses, not comprehending that'this
mental deafness Is for the time bclnjj
entirely genuine, are liable to hoarse
ness both of throat and temper. Thir
teen Is an age when the fading of this
gift or talent one of the most beau
tiful of chllillmod begins to Impair
its helpfulness, under the mistaken
stress of discipline; hut Florence re
tained something of it. In 11 moment
or two Nohle Dill's disaffection toward
poetry was altogether as If It did not
exist.
She coughed. Inclined her head a
little to one side, in tier mother's
manner of politeness to callers, and,
repeating her deprecatory laugh, re
marked, "Well, of course It's kind of
a funny question for me to usk, of
course."
"What Is, Florence?" Noble Inquired
absently.
"Well what I was saying was that
'course it's sort of queer ine askln'
If you liked poetry, of course, on ac
count of my writing poetry the way I
do now."
She looked up at him with a bright
rctidincKs to respond modestly to
whatever exclamation his wonder
should dictate; hut Noble's attention
had straggled-, again. lie failed to
comprehend what she had set before
him.
"Has she written your mother late
ly?' he asked.
Florence's expression denoted a
menial condition slightly disturbed.
"No." she said. "It's goin' to he
printed In the North Mud Daily Orb
ole."
"What?"
"My poem. It's jihoulrn' vi a men

to settle' with me; Hint's one' thing
-crttiin! I'll bring one over to your
bouse and leave it at the door for
yiut. Mr. Dill."
Noble had hut a confused notion
of' what she thus generally promised.
However, he said, "Thank you," and
nodded vaguely,
"Of course, I don't know as It's so
awful good," Florence admitted Insin
cerely. "The family all seem to think
It's something pretty much ; but 1 don't
know if it Is or not. Really, 1 don't!"
"No." said Noble, still confused. "I
suppose not."
"I'm half way through another one
1 think myseli'll he a good deal better.
I'm not goin' as fast with it as I did
with the other one, and I expect it'll he
tpiite a ways ahead of this one." Sin'
again emploved the deprecatory little
laugh. "I don't know hov 1 do ii,
myself. The family all think It's sort
of funny ; I don't know how I do it
myself; but that's t lie way It is. They
all say if they could do it thev "re sure
they'd know how they did it; but I
guess they're wrong. 1 presume If
you can do It, why It Just comes to
you? Don't you presume that's the
way It Is. Mr. Dill?"
"I guess so." They bad reached
bis gate, and lie stopped. "Vou'rorsure
none of jour family have heard any
thing today V" he asked anxiously.
"From Aunt Julia? I uon t think
they have."
Ho sighed, nnd opened the gate.
"Well, good evening. Florence."
(ioiiil evening." ller eyes followed
him wjs fully as lie pasod within Hip
liiehiMiie; then she turned and walked
1 1 1 1 i I ! v toward her own home; but at
ih coiner of the next fence she called
ever her shoulder, "I'll leave it with
.our mother for .von, If you're not
home w hen I bring It."
'What';" he shouted, from the vi
cinity of his front door.
