iContinued from Page 67l that its poetry was in all poetry. His mind was whirling with lines of poetry, disconnected and meaningless save for their common relation to all things living. It was from some volcanic source that these bits of poetry came. He could not stop them. They came madly, in tune with the people and with the land and their cadence was that of all of laughter and of living . . . This he could not forget. The wind blows out of the gates of the day The wind blows over the lonely of heart e And the lonely of heart is withered away,e- II he thought. His eyes were shining with the involuntary rememberance of the place where in that garden, black and white, Creep whispers through the grass all night, and where he had never been. He walked to the beat of the metre. 9! 3k it He knew that he had money with him, and half sought a store that sold books but forgot his search and was home once more with a hate that he could not attach, save perhaps, to himself for having accomplished nothing. He went to his typewriter but the words took no reasoning form. He went to his books but his eyes would not read . . . He had been standing before his window watching the lights across the town and forgetting everything but the idiocy of their brilliance and the sadness of them when they were dim. Watching them, he perceived a rhythm in the quiet lights and the rhythm was a sound and the sound had been always within the rhythm of the lights. He had turned, and was gazing at his bed, with the wild pulse of the neons filling the room. More than any other thing he desired sleep and he pronounced the word, softly. He would have cherished sleep but it would never come. He knew that it would not come. He was so tired that to move his facial muscles, to smile, required supreme effort. He laid himself gently across the bed. . . . Out of the delirium of sound there came to him a voice, his own, as it had been when he was young, at a time when he had been learning poetry at school. He could hear the old familiar lines, repeated, distantly and with a hollow sounding: HO sleep! it is a gentle thing, Beloved from pole to pole! To Mary Queen the praise be given! She sent the gentle sleep from Heaven, That slid into my soul. He did not know that he fell asleep. One hundred-seven

But the kittens flourished and grew. By the time Mother came home, they were two months old, and I didn't have a decent pair of stockings to my name. But then, neither did Mother, for, during her absence, I borrowed them under the pretext of later replacing them. Pop's working trousers were full of snags and pulls, where the kittens had made their ascents, and Sis's legs were a mass of scratches. Yes, by the time Mother came home, we were all thoroughly convinced that the only thing to do was to give them away, with Sister, twe were taking no more chancesl to the first people on our overwhelming llwaiting list. This we promptly did, taking Sister to a farm in upper New York, where she and her future kittens could enjoy to their hearts content the art of perpendi- cular ascent via legs. tContinuecl from Page 7m ties here tonight.
