Now, ThaT obiecTions have been removed, owing To The TacT ThaT more Than a year has elapsed since The incidenT, I am in a posiTion To saTiaTe The more curious. When I was awalcened one morning by The doorbell and Tound myselT con- TronTed by a Telegram boy, I own I was noT a liTTle sTarTled. I could noT undersTand who would wire me aT This unearThly hour,6 A. M. I had long esTablished a repuTaTion as an unsocial and misanThropical auThor. My repuTaTion was achieved because oT The TacT ThaT I was very moody. I would someTimes Tall inTo Trances Trom which I could be exTricaTed only by a sound box on The ear, which some oT my closer com- panions were loaThe To do.

Thus, iT was noT long beTore people began To avoid me, noT, I shame To admiT, wiThouT some inner hilariTy on my parT. Accordingly, I removed myself enTirely Trom The depressing ciTy environmenT and selecTed as a home a liTTle coTTage on a Tarm less Than 50 miles Trom Town. My amazemenT, ThereTore, upon receipT oT The Telegram, is well To be imagined and I was even more sTupeTied aT iTs conTenTs.

Owing To The TacT, however, ThaT upon graduaTing Trom college, we did under no circumsTances wish To be parTed, he decided ThaT l, Too, Tollow his calling.

Ever since lhal parling we had hardly had occasion lo see each olher and al the lime ol my receipl ol lhe lelegram I had nol heard lrorn Borden lor over lwo and a hall years.

I remarked lhal al- lhough lhe lerm vacalion mighl be applied in his case, il was cerlainly misleading lo use il in mine, as I had been on a vacalion ever since I had gradualed. I'Ie merely frowned and said nolhing. In mulual silence we alighled in Oakville live hours laler. We had apparenlly been expecled al Oakville, lor no sooner had we arrived lhan we were mel by an old couple, a larmer and his wile. They kissed my lriend and greeling me, bade us lollow lhem.

We were cordially greefed by an affendanf and informed fhaf we would have fo waif several hours before being admiffed fo fhe chamber of fhe Rabbi. We waifed in fhe anferoom.

There was a ferrifying sense of faifh and ecsfacy in fhe room fhaf was hardly human. ELCI-IANITE Thirfy-one We were called inTo The sancTum. I glanced aT This sage. He was old- very old. There were buT a Tew signs in his beard ThaT iT had once been black. I-lis deep-seT eyes were Tixed on a book. I wondered, Can This book be'The source oT The mysTic powers oT This man? I Then recovered my menTal equilibrium and re- Turned To my doubTs. YeT my skepTicism was weakening. The holiness in The aTmos- phere pervaded The senses and inspired one To puT TrusT in The old sage. I Told myseIT ThaT This was a Technique: my mind knew iT was! YeT I TelT The dusTy Tomes on The wall bidding me believe, and I wondered. My uncle Told his Tragic Tale: The Rabbi never even raised his head. AT The end he shook his head signiTying a negaTive answer, and we were being escorTed To The door. AlThough downcasT, I could Teel my disbelief reTurning, much To my relief. Then, my aunT broke under The Tension, and called ouT aT The old man's TeeT ThaT she would noT leave The room alive unless he said-unless he did someThing. I-Ie conTinued wiTh his book. I haTed The man who would noT console Two hearT-broken parenTs who had been induced To rely on his Talsely publicized powers. An imposTer who Thrived on human Tragedy! Finally he did speak. LeT him walk, was all. I was barely conscious oT whaT wenT on abouT me. The voice was a calm and unearThly voice. I Thoughf I TelT The ground Tremble aT ThaT momenT, and I sensed in Those words The concenTraTion oT a liTe oT sTudy, suTTer- ing and spiriTual exalTaTion. All was sTill.

Sounds oT husTling.,rise Trom many kiTchens. The liTTle woman is up already! A sTreTch and a hop ouT oT bed. Up goes a shade, and squeaking, many a window opens To leT in The morning air. A deep breaTh and a sTreTch and The day is on. Why shave every morning? No hoT waTer Tor The shower. Wake up The kids wiTh a kick on The door. A TighT over The baThroom. AnoTher day. A man has To work aTTer all. lnTo hundreds oT nosTrils comes The heavy smell oT coTTee. They all rush To gulp down The brown necTar while iT is hoT. AT breakTasT a reporT is given To The head oT The household on The behavior of The children. Solemn warnings are delivered Tor The preservaTion oT peace during The coming day. Down hundreds of sTone-walks come hundreds OT well-pressed suiTs. The newspaper is picked up and The headlines scanned. They all Tall inTo line. They walk down The sTreeT, all look arTiTcially brisk and naTTy, Tor The enTire day's work is beTore Them. lmmediaTely aTTer They disappear, a shouT oT ioy rises Trom The sTreeT as ouT oT The sTucco houses, down The brick sToops, comes The younger generaTion. They carelessly Track across The seeded lawn, hop over The hedges and plod ankle deep in The muddy road. Oblivious To parTing warnings Trom The doorway, They dash oTT wiTh Their books swinging on Their sTraps. ln The liTTle sTucco shacks The women now siT down To caTch a breaTh oT quieT. ELCHANITE ForTy-seven Cleaning, shopping, lunch Tor The kids. ChaTTing, bridge, dinner To be cooked . Y. . Up The many sTone paThs sTroll The same men who IeTT during The morning. They sTiIl Try To look brisk. Poor chaps! A Tew Teeble rays are all ThaT remains oT The morning's rising sun. A whisTle and an angry call brings in The children Trom The sTreeT. The meal is held while The advenTures oT The day are discussed. A TighT Tor The paper. The children are chased upsTairs. Soon The parenTs go To bed. BeTore Turning oTT The IighTs They seT The alarm. AT PLAY lT's a sordid sighT. So whaT. The ugliesT spoT you could Think oT is SouTh STreeT, buT iT was beauTiTul ThaT morning, my TirsT on The bay. The dirTy waTers oT The Upper Bay were brighT and crackled wiTh The crisp lighT oT The morning sun. We sTood on The TronT oT The upper deck oT The Terry and TelT The keen air rush aT us and pasT us. The harbor is beauTiTul wiTh The lower lv1anhaTTan skyline dominaTing The scene. IT was morning, and The smoke Trom The many TacTories had noT yeT clouded The skies. LiberTy sTood ouT sharply as did every spoT wiThin The horizon. The Terry Tub moved calmly on wiThouT any rocking or vibraTions. WiTh an eTTorTless drive, iT chased The gulls ouT oT iTs way. A cracked violin and a banjo played on The deck below. The enTire world sparkledg all was clear and briqhT. I was very exciTed. I wonder Today how I carried so much inTeresT in a body so small. I was going Tishing. No, noT on The Terry. We IeTT The Terry and sTepped inTo a bus ThaT carried us on a bumpy way pasT The counTry-like sTreeTs oT STaTen Island. We speeded pasT The Upper Bay, pasT The Narrows. When we IeTT The bus we were aT The end oT The island, Tacing The Lower Bay and The Ocean. We walked down a long pier, Uncle and I. Uncle wenT on boaTs Tar ouT when he Tishes, buT This Time he was iniTiaTing me inTo The greaT arT and I was Too small To go on The shaky boaTs. We reached The end oT The pier. A biT TarTher ouT we saw some Tish playing and gamboling in a greaT school. We Took ouT our lines. We Took ouT Those soTT and mushy worms we had boughT on FulTon STreeT and Uncle baiTed The hooks. I was aTraid To Touch The ugly Things. We leT The lines inTo The waTer. I nudged Uncle, I TelT a Tug. I'Ie laughed aT me. We had iusT leT The lines ing no Tish could have goTTen near iT. We waiTed while Uncle gorged me Tull oT his advenTures on The Tishing boaTs. We pulled The lines ouT oT The waTer, aTTer a Time. My hook was unbaiTed. This was exciTingI The Tish had grabbed oTT The baiT wiThouT geTTing hooked. The baiT musT be placed in such a manner ThaT This is impossible. We'll geT The old Toxes yeT! ForTy-eighT ELCHANITE I was proud. A Tish had aT IeasT Touched my hook. We had no luck: we moved To oTher parTs of The pier. The disappearance oT baiT happened a few Times. We called Time Tor lunch. NaTurally, iT was a ravenous appeTiTe ThaT had To be saTisTied, buT I was aTraid ThaT we were IeTTing The Tish away and reTurned To The line sTiII sTarving. LiTTle did I care. All The Time enormous schools oT Tish passed by iusT oTT The end oT The pier. W As The- scene began To glow under The reddening rays oT The sun I Turned To Uncle. l asked wheTher he had ever caughT Tish on ThaT pier. The answer is sTil noT clear in my mind. I Tell' a Tug aT my line. I pulled. Uncle and I were boTh exciTed. I pulled. IT was a crab. The ugly animal! I shook him OTT. I didn'T wanT To be Torcecl To Take him oTT wiTh my hands. WiTh a wisTTuI glance aT The Tish sTiII passing by OTT The end of The pier we IeTT. As we approached The shore we Tound many people, young and old. They had baskeTs which They IeT down inTo The waTer. They were Tishing Tor crabs. I looked aT Uncle. l'Ie looked away. As we bounced along in The bus we saw The sun drop behind The smoking chimneys oT Bayonne. The grey skyscrapers were a deep red Tor a Time, and when we reached The Terry, bursT ouT inTo many IiTTIe brighT IighTs. The waTer ThaT sparkled under The seTTing sun Turned deep black. The boaTs became specks oT IighT. I was sleepy. BuT The ride on The Terry puT new IiTe inTo me. The air was cool and calming. When we landed we discussed The advisabiIiTy oT buying some Tish. We decided againsT iT. We IeTT The Terry house. IT was dark. We couldn'T see SouTh STreeT. I SUBWAY The Train charged powerTuIIy Through The underground Tunnel, Iurching and baTTering iTs way Through a wall oT Toul air. One could Teel iT sTraining To leap ouT oT The murky hole and shaTTer The rooT above iTs head To reach The open air. To dash abouT unresTrained under Gods own sky, Tree Trom The cage of sfeel girders and shiny rails which bound iT To The humdrum liTe oT The subway. This Train was none oT your slick, smooTh-running, pressed sTeeI power-lined models: This riveT- sTudded, raTTIing, baTTered vehicle had seen decades OT service as a corpuscle in The blood sTream oT a ciTy. As The hand OT The moTorman held iT To iTs course, iT groaned aT every Tug, and sTarTed and sTopped once more, complaining iTs way Through The darkness. T There weren'T many passengers in The cars. Rush hour was pasT, and The nighT was well advanced. IT was a weekday: There were no happy groups To liven up The ride. The Taces were Tired. There were workers who had IaTe jobs and people ELCHANITE Fafiyiiane who were Tired aTTer a long day oT shopping. They saT. Their Taces dull and sTone- like-expressionless. There is no exciTemenT To The subway. The dramaTic acTion oT a vehicle as iT rushes pasT The landscape is losT undergound. All seems sTagnanT. ln The sub- way people sTare inTenTly aT The TilThy Tloor or oTT inTo The disTance. They are aTraid To leT Their eyes resT on anyone Tor Tear OT embarrasmenT. They clamp Their iaws To oTTseT The pounding in Their ears as Their Train sTaggers on. They breaThe wiTh loaThing The bilge'impregnaTed air, and Teel Their skins covered wiTh The dampness. Only when The sTeeI earThworm was allowed To emerge Trom iTs hole, when The lighfs OT The ciTy appeared, could The passengers relax Trom The Tension oT Their day and The ride. Home was near. The inTernal commoTion was down To a purr, and Tresh air reached The sTarving nosTrils. Above The hum came a mellow SouThern voice: Nex' week The American peepul celebraTe The buhThday oT Abraham Lin- coln who TawT To save D'mocracy an' Th' Union. ln The' la+es' issue NEW MASSES Ernes' Hemin'way pays TribuTe To American boys who TawT To save Spanish D'moc- racy. GreaT American awTha hails Spanish peepul bravely holdin' oTT HiTla and Mussolinni an' The FascisTs. Perhaps a grunT, perhaps a scowl, no oTher reacTion greeTed The sales Talk, and The liTTle brown Tellow moved To The nexT car To repeaT his TuTile Tale. From The oTher end oT The car a voice sTeeped in alcohol boomed TorTh: C'mon an' l'lI show ya! Damn yeller nigger! 'Fraid? He'sh shcrammed! Yeller. 6iT 'im down shouT! This bursT oT energy leTT The soT winded and his Tired head dropped To his knees. BuT he sTraighTened wiTh a sTarT To yell, Shpain! - HiTler an' lvlussaloonni, allus HiTler an lhicj shaloonni . . .

The TriumphanT cry OT The Train, harsh and inhuman. The Turning wheels caclcle wiTh ioy as They pull The cars on Their way. Loaded wiTh huddled-up wealclings The machine reigns supreme.

IT passes on wiTh an ominous rumble. , X i 'T ELCT-IANTTE FiTTy-one Testament By Morris Margolies When William Mason, The ouTsTanding inTeIIecTuaI figure of his day, died he lefT no Trace of a will behind. lnsTead, The following manuscripT in his own wriT- ing was found under The pillow of his deaTh bed. We reproduce iT here in iTs enTireTy. Q As The realizafion dawns upon me ThaT my days upon This earTh are num- bered, I become impelled by a sTrange desire To seT on paper Those words which I regard as boTh The mosT lucid and momenTous ThaT have ever emanaTed from my personfbeing, as They are The lasT words of a man who has seen much during a comparaTively long life Time and approaching, Therefore, The unTainTed expression of his soul. As long baclc as my memory serves me I had always aspired To someThing, someThing noT wiThin my immediaTe reach. When buf a very young child l was con- sTanTly demanding Things which were hardly accessible, much less obTainable. Us- saTisfacTion was The predominanT feaTure of my characTer from The very beginning. In my minoriTy days my elders aTTribuTed This To an acuTe case of greed and caprice on my parT and were conTenT To dismiss The whole maTTer aT ThaT. I now know ThaT I was neiTher greedy nor capricious Then, for in laTer life, when I had absoIuTeIy no one To peT me and To caTer To my whims, ThaT very same TraiT was manifesT in my spiriTual consTiTuTion. I grew To manhood. I became whaT, according To The sTandards of The Time, is Termed a successful man. My marriage and iTs producTs were happy and forTunaTe. l:aTe deprived me of neiTher fame nor forTune. Men had begun To regard 'ne as a model speciman of homo sapiens. YeT l conTir1ued dissaTisfied and ill aT ease. I was upon a perpeTual journey in search of someThing as To The nafure of which I was compIeTeIy ignoranT buT which, I felT confidenT, once found, would puT an end To my irkingly consTanT anTicipaTion. I meT many people in The hope of exTracTing perhaps from Their menfal beings, from Their souls, ThaT unlcnown quanTiTy which, laclcing, made my life miser- able and unforTunaTe. These, sad To relaTe, only aggravaTed The siTuaTion. Men and women of osfensibly high sTanding, They caused me To lose confidence in The human race. I gazed profoundly beneaTh Their fraudulenT and deceiving exferiors, I peneTraTed The depThs of Their hearTs and my hopes received a devasTaTing sefbacli. WiThouT excepTion, They were perfecT exponenTs of sham. Even The more refined among Them were possessed of ThaT abhorrenTly egoTisTic aTTiTude which consisTed only of The pursuiT of Temporal joys. IT is noT ThaT l preach asceTicism nor is iT ThaT I disdain maTeriaI pleasures. BUT To malce maferialism The obiecT of life and To aTTempT rafiyiwa ELCHANITQ To raTionaIize The laTTer as The sole end of living seem To me To be The heighf of everyfhing Thaf is revolTing. I was convinced ThaT There was someThing more To life, Thaf unknown quanTiTy of which I was in search, and iT was This corivicfion ThaT made my exisfence even more feverish and agiTaTed. I read. Books afTer books passed beneaTh my weary eyes To no avail. My own wriTing failed To saTisfy my cravings since They Too were pervaded by ThaT foul spiriT To which I have alluded. In spiTe of myself I was forced To own ThaT I was a hypocrife. I wroTe of sublime ThoughTs and heavenly deeds wiTh boTh my feef on The ground. And This served To inTensify my misery. My sad plighT broughT To mind The picTure of The camel whose rider, in order To hasTen his gaiT, held a Tempfing morsel of flesh before his eyes. The camel ran and ran and ran buT The flesh, Too, ran wiTh equal veIociTy. like The camel I fancied somefhing superb, somefhing Godly, in my mind's eye. I ran hands ouf- sTreTched in quesT of him, and like The camel I didn'T caTch up To my prey. As Time wenT on I gradually developed an acrimonious aTTiTude abouT life. I became a pessimisT and a cynic, and people began To shun me. I now near The end of The Trail. For my parT I die dissapoinfed, disillusioned and hearfbroken. One ThoughT, however, miTigaTes in a measure my deep sorrow. Perhaps The facf Thaf I have failed To discover IT does noT disavow The exisTence of The unknown guanTiTy. Perhaps I did noT go abouT iT in The proper fashion. Perhaps I was noT fiT To do so. Perhaps beTTer and greaTer men before me have found iT. Perhaps beffer and greaTer men affer me will find iT. Buf as I resign my soul To my creaTor I can only uTTer a dying man's prayer ThaT, wherever I may go henceforTh, I shall become enlighfenedf' 3' QRAQ-0-A A-Lara. i f 4 5 3 - I ELCI-IANITE FifTy-Three T H E W I N D Hyman Tuchman The wind ThaT breaThed so swiTTly by And spoke To some OT Those ThaT die And leave an empTy hearT behind OT woe in TeTTers oT iron comfinedg OT hearTs ThaT bursT and bursTing died OT souls ThaT in morTal anguish cried OT men who ToughT and baTTles won OT soldiers dying and TighTs begun: OT Those who hunT o'er land and sea For homes where They, Too, can be Tree.
