What though the path lend drearily
O'er lonely wilds V though skies be gray?
I'll tunc my harp and cheerily

While through the northern isles I stray;
My heart yearns for one lovelit face
Long, long, so long away.

under the electric light. They arc swinging
their black stockinged legs meditatively.
They are very quiet, very. They jump down
now and then apparently to dare each other
to some feat of arms. And then they get up

the corner needs to be taken up very badly.
Then there's old Ilaggerly's front fence in an
outrageous condition, and her "dawg" don't
bile if you don't get near him. She herself
would enjoy seeing one of your pumpkin
horrible' very greatly I'm sure. Then
there are some half dozen cows in the neigh
borhood that don't have much fun in life.
and by thoy slip softly away.
In the morning J find my sidewalks gone
and my piled up kindling wood strewn all
over the neighborhood. And J do not know
whether that has any connection with the
crowd of little boys or the crowd of big boys,
but I have my suspicions.
