When the fingers of rain on the window pane
Tap, tap, Up,
And the feet of the rain run over the roof
In the dark of a Bummer night.
Then out of their graves old memories creep
And they steal up Into the house of sleep
And they rap, rap, rap
On the door of the heart till It sets a light
And opens the portal and spreads the board
For the waiting horde.
Then the great, wide world seems all astir
With the ghostly shapes of the things that were.
A Pleasure that perished, a dead Despair,
An old Delight and a vanished Care,
A Passion that bullded its funeral pyre
From the worthless timber of brief desire,
A hope that wandered and lost its way
In the dazzling beams of its own bright ray,
With long-gone Worries and long-lost Joys,
Come stealthily creeping with never a noise
(For the things that have gone on the road to God
When they turn back earthward are silence-shod);
And they enter the hearts' great living room
When the rain beats down from a sky of gloom
In the dark of a Summer night.
And they tell old tales and they sing old songs
That are sweet, sweet, sweet;
"While the fingers of rain on the window pane
Beat, beat, beat.
And they feast on the past and drink its wine
. And call it a brew divine.
But when in the east the darkness pales
And the edge of the cloud shows light,
The ghosts go back with a silent tread.
And only the heart knows what they said
In the dark .of the Summer night.

What kind of a queer, distorted phil

The hot summer la upon ua in which
the bablea of the alums sicken and die,
mainly because they are undernourished
and their poor mothers have not the
means to buy good milk for them or the
Ice' with which to keep what they do
buy fresh and sweet.
Hundreds of these babies wilt perish
within the noxt three months who could
be saved If the $3,600 that Is going Into
this cemetery or dead dogs was spent on
establishing par milk statron where
good milk would be given away to the
needy.
Oo down any of the streets of the East
Side on a hot, sweltering day and look
at the white, pinched faces of the little
ohlldren whose only playground la the
blistering sidewalk and whose every
breath drawa in the malodorous, contami
nating air that reeks of garbage cans and
decaying fruits and vegetables and all
the evil smella that abound where human
j beings live loo closely crowded together.
If the spot, amid the trees and grasses
of Long Island and swept by Its sea
winds that is to be set apart as sacred
to the carcasses of dead" dogs were turned
Into a playground for these poor living
children, what a blessing It would be to
them! How the fresh air would bring
back the eolor to the pale little cheeks!
How the flabby muscles would strengthen
as they romped among the daisies.. How
the osone of the country air would put to
rout the demon of tuberculosis already he
fining to hover about the doomed little
creature.
Thlrty-fivo hundred dollars would give
many a child a week or two In the coun
try that would mean life and health to
It. Surely an object la worth while as
preserving the bones of a deceased
Pomeranian. Certainly the shouts of joy
of little children going up from a beauty
spot of nature are as pleasing to heaven
as the walls and lamentations of
neurotic woman weeping" over the tomb
of her dead pug.
Thirty-five hundred dollars would es
tablish a summer camp where poor work
ing girls who have come to the last ounce
of their endurance could have a few
weeks' rest and gather themselves to
gether again and get fresh strength and
courage to begin the battle of life onoe
more.
It would make a place where over
worked mothers with their little alcklv
J babes could go for a little while and be

Oo alonv the streets and nolle the
children suffering from physical afflic
tions that will be an insurmountable
handicap In life to them, but that you
know could be easily cured by proper
medical attention. With S3.SO0 you could
send this child and its hacking cough to
some sanitarium where fresh air and rich
food would save It from consumption.
You could strighten the little cripple's

Her question reminded me of an oc

thought. It was not a hypothetical In

of friends.

TWELFTH KriSODK.
Other trains were making whirlwind
tours of these United States. Not every
capitalist was on the side of capital. A
badly frightened and very able man In
the White House was fighting for his
political life. Into the arena there came
at last a dribbling of genuine patriots,
who, like their forefathers, were ready
to give for their country their lives, their
sacred honor.
It wasn't all smooth sailing by sny
means. Still, no new movement had ever
made such progress In so short a time,
and the end was not In sight, nor the
beginning of the end.
A man gaining In strength from day to
day, among those who stood for the old
order of things, and opposed Celestia,
was Tommy Barclay. He had a great
fervid quality of honesty which no one
could doubt, and he had to look on his
face, very lean now from short nights,
hard work and the ronstant buffeting
of trains, of a young hero who has st
himself to do to death a dragon that U

ence and practice had come quirk initia

They walked toward the little city park.
"What are you really doing In this far
away place, Mary?"
"I missfd you at Lynnaburg and Pies
Crossing, and succeeded In connecting
with you here."
"You didn't really do all that traveling
Just to hear me talk through my hat, did
you?"
"No, I didn't, really; and you didn't
talk through your hat I came as a
matter of fact to tell you something I
think you ouht to know."
They reaohed the little park, chose a
bench and sat down.
"I'm all ears," said Tommy, "and. I'm
dying of curiosity."
"I think you ought to know," said
the
heart.
Once, in a little northern town, stand
ing on an Improvised rostrum of pack
ing cases, and In the midst of addressing
a large crowd of quiet, sensible people,
who appeared to like him, and to llko
what he said. It was Tommy's bad for
tune to have Celestia arrive from her
snow-white car and steal his audience
away from him. His "sea of upturned
faces" became a pool, with more than
half the faces turned away to try and see
what all the excitement was about
further down the street, and everybody
getting more and more restless and In
attentive. A sudden tremendous cheering
took the rest of Tommy's audience away
from him on the run, with the eiceptlon
of one young woman, who wore a thick,
brown veil and was half concealed by tin
stem of an elm.
For a moment or two Tommy did not
see her. His eyes were on the backs and
twinkling legs of his fast disappearing
audience, and there was a smile on his
face, half rueful resignation and half
amusement. He did not notice the woman
until she called sttentlon to herself by
speaking.
"Pon't stop," she said: "they haven't
all gone. It Isn't fair to me. I've come
a long way to hear you."
With an exclamation of pleasure
Tommy leaped down from his rostrum
and ran to greet htr. "Why, Mary
Blaokstone," he exclaimed, "what tho
dickens are you doing way down here?"
"I told you I came to hear you speak.
You are getting to be rather famous, you
know, and I thought It was iny duty
(her eyes sparkled under the veil) to
hear you at least once."
"Well." said Tommy, smiling back,
"you missed alt the good tarts. Some
thing tells me that I was going to finish
very strong, and then the diversion come,
and only you stood your ground. Shall
I get back on that soap box and give
you my peroration. Or shall we see If
we can get near to Celestia to hear
her?"
Celestls's name fell from his Hps with
the utmost coolness and nonchalcnce, so
that Mary niackstone's heart gave a
sudden hound of joy, and the hatred
which shs had for the girl from heaven
abated somewhat.
"If yon don't mind," she aajd, "we'll
not try to get nearer to Celestia than we
are now. Indeed, I'd rather walk In tho
otpualle direction, because I see some
thing thst rather loeks like a park, and
