Lirten to the play handed her a ten dollar bill to keep her going until she reach her destination. The poor creature almost wept with gratitude. Spreading a couple of sheep skins and a blanket near the fire for her, I retired to my own bed in the opposite corner of the room. Assured of my friend's comfort, I was soon asleep. The stranger was gone when I awoke at five the next morning, and the skins and blanket were neatly laid across the chest. My poor friend . . . I could hardly wait to ride down to the road camp to scold jim Nourse and his gang for turning the poor woman away. I had always had a good opinion of jim, and had believed that he would have shared his last wth a needy stranger. Jim, I cried, riding up to him, you,re a fine man, to refuse an old crippled woman foodf' Oh yea? said jim. NVell, we-'ve met up with that pore old woman be- fore, and it happens, Miss Morley, that she's a MAN! JEAN JACOBS, '3O. 1 Y When Spring Comes Back Wfhen spring comes back to the naked thorn, And the moon swings over the first spring morn, I'd rather go alone in the sweet green meads Than march with the herd and do proud deeds. I'd rather be alone and listen to the birds Than go with the crowd and say proud words, And oh! a rover I'd like to be Wlmen spring comes back to the hawthorn tree. I'll take my moments and my days And let them sing in ceaseless praise, Wlmen spring comes back to the naked thorn, And the moon swings over the first spring morn. MARGARET GILMOUR, '30, 24

Like you we breaztlae the air of H eawen. Nl a s q u ez r a cl sz LTHOUGH I was only eighteen, it was not uncommon for me to be left alone for long periods of time to take care ' of the ranch and help with the round-up. On this occa- g: sion I had been alone two weeks, while my father went Q1 V to attend the funeral of his brother and the settling of V 'Y' tl vp his estate. The pifion fire in the grate and my shaggy shepherd dog were my only companions and comforts on this surprisingly cool August evening. to bed when my dog sniffing the air and growling as if I was about to go he saw a bear or a mountain lion, brought my attention to a low and almost inaudible knocking at the kitchen door. Beams of cool moonlight revealed a pitiful looking old woman in disreputable shawl and bonnet from which un- kempt shocks of grey hair started at unpleasing intervals. Her left foot, in a shoe so worn as to resemble a spat, was swollen to an unbelievable size. A homemade crutch under her right arm was bearing the weight of her bulky frame. 1 asked if I could help her. Shor,,' she gimme. I seated her her. She moved I brought from pie. Here you the are, I was interested but I was too well to refuse a stranger replied, by golly, I'm dog tired and I can eat anything ye'll at the kitchen table, and lighted the lamp that stood before a bit, protesting that the light hurt her eyes. In a few minutes cupboard a plate well loaded with beans and biscuit and the coffee will be ready in a few minutes. s in the old woman, and wanted to know more about her, acquainted wth the unwritten code of the country, never food, and never to question the unknown guest. She finished her meal with amazing speed, and leaned back comfortably in her chair. You know, said she, live a sick lad in Tucson, who's goin' to school there, and havin' no money this is the best way I know to git to him. I'll be seein, my boy in a few days now, I guess. Her eyes brightened for a moment, then grew dull again. Ye know, I was refused anythin' to eat down the road. That road gang had mor'n six men cud use too, by gollyf' She paused a moment, then turned to me. l'My lame foot don't stand much travel, and it's gettin' late. Cud I put up here tonight? My unfortunate guest had aroused in me all the sympathy that one person can feel for another, and I readily gave my consent. I'l1 be on my way early in the mornin', so don't worry if l've gone afore ye're up. It's easier travelin'- in the early mornin'.
